Microscopic Louis Vuitton Handbag Sells For Over $63,000

A handbag that is so small it requires a microscope to be seen sold for over $63,000 at an auction on Wednesday.

The Louis Vuitton-inspired neon-green miniature purse was created by Brooklyn-based art collective MSCHF and is “smaller than a grain of sea salt and narrow enough to pass through the eye of a needle,” according to the group.

Measuring 657 by 222 by 700 micrometers — or less than .03 inches across — the handbag, which sold for $63,750, was made using two-photon polymerization, a 3-D printing technique usually used to make mechanical biotech structures.

The unidentified purchaser also received a microscope and a built-in digital display for viewing.

Photos of the tiny speckle of a bag show it has a large Louis Vuitton LV logo printed in the middle, based on the company’s OnTheGo style handbags, which sell — at full size — for between $3,100 and $4,300, according to their website.

The auction was conducted through Joopiter, an auction house founded by American musician, record producer and designer Pharrell Williams.
