HANDBAG ‘SMALLER THAN GRAIN OF SALT’ SELLS FOR OVER 49,000,000naira by xxolisexx(m): 6:14am On Jun 30, 2023
A minuscule handbag measuring just 657 by 222 by 700 microns (or less than 0.03 inches wide) sold for over $63,000 at an online auction Wednesday.

Barely visible to the human eye, the fluorescent yellowish-green bag is based on a popular Louis Vuitton design — though it is the work of a New York art collective, not the luxury label itself.

Dubbing its diminutive creation “Microscopic Handbag,” the Brooklyn-based group MSCHF claims the bag is narrow enough to pass through the eye of a needle and is smaller than a grain of sea salt (though that may depend on how coarse you like your salt).
The object was made using two-photon polymerization, a manufacturing technology used to 3D-print micro-scale plastic parts. It was sold alongside a microscope equipped with a digital display through which the bag can be viewed.

A promotional photo shows the design in greater detail, revealing Louis Vuitton’s signature “LV” monogram. The bag appears to be based on the French label’s OnTheGo tote, which currently retails at full size for between $3,100 and $4,300.

The sale was hosted by Joopiter, an online auction house founded by American musician, record producer and designer Pharrell Williams. Although Williams currently serves as Louis Vuitton’s creative director of menswear, MSCHF’s chief creative officer Kevin Wiesner previously told the New York Times that the collective had not sought his or the French label’s permission to use its logo or design.

“Pharrell loves big hats, so we made him an incredibly small bag,” he told the newspaper.

It's called money laundry ... They are telling you how much money they can fit into that tiny bag on thier way to the laundry.. 😜... Art is one of the best tools for money laundry... perception is reality.

I'm not justifying gboys act but the rich need to be extorted.. how and why should someone spend money carelessly? For what reason?
How can you make middle class people feel this way? You'll obviously need a microscope for this bag..

I still don't understand the usefulness of the bag.

I managed to read the story I thought I'll come across the word like " the bag is made up of diamond or 500 karat gold" but nothing of such .

Some people don't deserve to be rich but God is great. Irrespective of whom you're, either you worship him or not, praise him or not, give thanks to him or not, you'll will still be blessed.

Oh God of Muhammad (S.A.W) and Jesus (A S) I pray to you this morning crown my effort with an endless success, bless all my legit means of livelihood, reward me more than what humanity will offer me and make me one of the world wealthiest, above all let my wealth be useful to your service on this surface of the earth Duniya and on day of resurrection Akhira... Amen

I wish everyone that say Amen the same
