What to know about Coperni

The Swipe bag carries the label

Coperni is known first for handbags — the structured Swipe and its aerogel Air Swipe version — rather than for the spare jersey and tailoring shown alongside them.

Technical stunts are the method

Each season pairs minimal shapes with an experiment: the 2022 spray-on dress on Bella Hadid, a gaming-themed AW25 show, HeiQ prebiotic skincare textiles for SS26.

Big-house training, small-house scale

Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant met at Mod'Art and worked at houses including Balenciaga and Chanel before founding the Paris label in 2013.

Brand facts

Coperni is a Paris womenswear label founded in 2013 by creative director Sébastien Meyer and CEO Arnaud Vaillant, who met at Mod'Art and worked at houses including Balenciaga and Chanel. It pairs spare tailoring and jersey minimalism with technical experiments: the Swipe handbag, the aerogel Air Swipe, the 2022 spray-on dress applied to Bella Hadid, a gaming-themed Autumn/Winter 2025 show, and Spring/Summer 2026 pieces finished with HeiQ prebiotic skincare textiles. Its owner Tomorrow Ltd. was sold to Progetto 11, parent of The Level Group, in March 2026; the Paris Commercial Court placed Coperni into receivership on 11 June 2026 after a payment dispute with Tomorrow.
