MSCHF, the American art collective known for its crazy creations, caused quite a stir his ridiculously oversized Big Red Boots earlier this year. Now the group has gone to the other extreme.
On Wednesday, it again caused a stir in the fashion world with the announcement of its Microscopic Handbag.
“Smaller than a grain of sea salt and narrow enough to pass through the eye of a needle, this is a bag so small you would need a microscope to see it,” the group said in an Instagram post highlighting the unveiled new accessory. it as a work of art.
How small is this handbag actually? It measures 657 by 222 by 700 micrometers. So small, in fact, that the group lost some of the “bags” when the monsters first arrived, reported The New York Times.

The item, made from resin and through a process called two-photon polymerization, is intended to reference the growing fashion trend of miniaturization, where once-practical accessories become nothing more than status symbols.
“There are large handbags, normal handbags and small handbags, but this is the last word in bag miniaturization,” the collective said in the Instagram post. “As a once functional object like a handbag gets smaller and smaller, its object status becomes more and more abstract until it is purely a brand signifier.”
The microscopic handbag itself is modeled after the popular Louis Vuitton model OnTheGo carrying caseeven though MSCHF had not asked the brand for permission to use its logo or design, according to the New York Times.
“We’re big on the ‘ask forgiveness, not permission’ school,” Kevin Wiesner, the company’s chief creative officer, said in an interview with the publication.
MSCHF has not only faced public scrutiny, but also legal issues for its past creations. In 2021, the group settled a trademark lawsuit with Nike over their “Satan Shoes,” which were modeled after the Nike Air Max 97 sneaker, created in collaboration with rapper Lil Nas X and reportedly contained a drop of human blood.
The Microscopic Handbag will go on sale this month as part of Just Phriends, an auction hosted by Sarah Andelman and Joopiter, the digital-first auction house and content platform founded by Pharrell Williams.
