MSCHF, the creative collective responsible for the viral Big Red Boots and Lil Nas X‘s blood-infused sneakers, is back with its newest antic– a Louis Vuitton handbag that can only be seen under a microscope.
Modeled after Louis Vuitton‘s OnTheGo tote, the microscopic electric green ‘purse’ is smaller than a grain of salt and narrow enough to pass through the eye of a needle.
The bag, specifically designed to go up on Pharrell’s auction house, originated from the notion that luxury handbags are progressively shrinking in size as time passes, according to MSCHF’s chief creative officer Kevin Wiesner.
Contrary to initial assumptions, Wiesner revealed to the New York Times that Louis Vuitton is not actually involved in the project.
“We are big in the ‘ask forgiveness, not permission’ school,” he said. “Pharrell loves big hats, so we made him an incredibly small bag.”
The ultra-small bag, which serves no practical purpose, will be exclusively released at Sarah Andelman’s Just Phriends auction on June 19. So, what’s your bid?
