The Microscopic Handbag by MSCHF

The US artist collective MSCHF, which is famous for its bizarre auctions, has come up with another offbeat product. MSCHF is auctioning off a bag that is so small that it fits through the eye of a needle.

A microscope also comes with the bag.

The bag has pockets that are no larger than a speck of dust. With the naked eye, you can hardly see the tiny product.

The bag is a replica of Louis Vuitton’s On the Go bag.

Sharing the images on its Instagram page, the MSCHF wrote in the caption, “Smaller than a grain of sea salt and 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 miniaturisation.” As a once-functional object like a handbag becomes smaller and smaller, its object status becomes steadily more abstracted until it is purely a brand signifier.”

However, the tiny bag has become very popular on social media platforms, and its images are receiving a lot of interesting comments from users.

“Actually incredible. I’d love to see how the absolute tiniest details were done,” commented a user.

“Honestly, if I were really rich, I’d buy this and put it under a magnifying glass cabinet; it’d be funny,” wrote another user.
