Art collective MSCHF, known for WD-40 cologne and this ATM leaderboard machine, recently sold a microscopic handbag that is smaller than a grain of salt for $63,750 USD. This Louis Vuitton-branded bag is made of photopolymer resin and 3D-printed, yet has no connection to the French luxury fashion house.
MSCHF believes that as a once-functional object like a handbag becomes smaller its object status becomes steadily more abstracted until it is purely a brand signifier. The bag, measuring in at 657 x 222 x 700 micrometers, was actually created for an auction for Pharrell Williams and bidding started at just $15,000 USD before ending up at nearly $64,000.

Narrow enough to pass through the eye of a needle, this is a purse so small you’ll need a microscope to see it. There are big handbags, normal handbags and small handbags, but this is the final word in bag miniaturization,” said MSCHF.
