The bag, which is transparent, is made from the lightest material on Earth and is made up of 99% air and 1% glass.
According to the brand they had some out-of-this-world, expert help from NASA:
This very delicate (and non-fragile) nanomaterial has been used by NASA to capture stardust: because it can withstand extreme heat (1200o Celsius) and a pressure of 4000 times its weight. This Air Swipe bag is the biggest ever object made of this space technology nanomaterial. Developed by Professor Ioannis Michaloudis.

A thought that has crossed everyone's mind however is how practical it is.
One commenter asked the brand this and they replied saying, "It can hold an iPhone ;)".
The price of the bag has not yet been revealed but there's no doubt that it will come with a hefty price tag.
