The brand behind the viral Big Red Boots has made a microscopic handbag 'smaller than a grain of salt'
MSCHF's Microscopic Handbag based on the Louis Vuitton OnTheGo Monogram bag.It measures just 657 by 222 by 700 micrometers and is to be displayed in a sealed gel case mounted beneath a microscope, according to MSCHF. The tiny handbag is intended to serve as a commentary on how a practical item has become little more than a way to promote a brand.
MSCHF said in a press release:"As a once-functional object like a handbag becomes smaller and smaller its object status becomes steadily more abstracted until it is purely a brand signifier. Previous small leather handbags have still required a hand to carry them - they become dysfunctional, inconveniences to their 'wearer.'
"Microscopic Handbag takes this to its full logical conclusion. A practical object is boiled down into jewelry, all of its putative function evaporated; for luxury objects, useability is the angels' share." Weisner told the Times that when samples of the bag arrived a few months ago, they were so small that the team lost some of them.
