Handbag Smaller Than a Grain of Salt Sells for Over $63,000

A microscopic replica of a Louis Vuitton design has sold for $63,000 at the auction house Joopiter.

The “bag” by the Brooklyn art collective known as MSCHF is 657 by 222 by 700 micrometers. It is smaller than a grain of salt and narrow enough to pass through the eye of a needle. You need a microscope to see it and the sale included one.

The fashion label Louis Vuitton has nothing to do with the bag, though its OntheGo tote serves as its inspiration, right down to the tiny “LV” on the miniature version.
