At the auction, a handbag with the Louis Vuitton logo just brought in more than $60,000, but it’s far smaller than you’d think and not even the actual thing.

The fake purse, which was bright yellowish-green, brought in $63,750, more than quadrupling the initial price of $15,000.

According to an Instagram post by the bag’s creator, Brooklyn-based art collective MSCHF, the bag is “smaller than a grain of sea salt and narrow enough to pass through the eye of a needle.”

Kevin Wiesner, chief creative officer of MSCHF, informed the New York Times that Louis Vuitton had not given the collective permission to use the design. The business that owns Louis Vuitton, LVMH, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider.

The bag was created using “a stereolithographic process commonly used for making tiny mechanical biotech structures,” according to its auction listing, and it is offered together with a microscope that has a built-in digital display of the bag for viewing.

According to MSCHF in the listing, “as a once-functional object like a handbag becomes smaller and smaller, its object status gradually becomes more abstracted until it is purely a brand signifier.”

According to the description, “Previous little leather purses have nevertheless needed a hand to handle them; they become dysfunctional and inconvenient to their “wearer.” ” The Microscopic Handbag follows this through to the very end. A practical object is reduced to jewelry, losing all of its ostensible utility; useability is reserved for luxury items.

MSCHF has gained notoriety in recent years for a variety of tongue-in-cheek stunt initiatives, such as Lil Nas X’s divisive “Satan shoes,” a pair of sneakers that can be worn both ways, “Eat the Rich” popsicles molded in the likes of tech billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, and an AI-powered website that ranks and pairs you with people based on your “hotness.”
