MSCHF says bag was created for musician Pharrell Williams because he loves big hats – ‘we made him an incredibly small bag’
If you’ve even a mild interest in luxury handbags, you’ve likely heard of the Chanel classic flap bag or the Hermes Birkin. But you’ve perhaps not heard of the Microscopic Handbag by MSCHF.
At less than 0.03 inches wide, the teensy, tiny “Microscopic Handbag” by New York-based art collective MSCHF is so small that the human eye can hardly see it when it’s atop a fingertip. And, yet, it still sold for more than $60,000 at an auction this week.
This article was amended on 29 June 2023 to correct a typo on the auction price for the Microscopic Handbag.
