And microscopic pocket The fluorescent green Louis Vuitton knockoff sold for a hefty sum of $63,000 (around 58,000 euros) in an online auction, according to local media reports.
The accessory requires a microscope to see it, since it is smaller than a grain of salt: it measures 0.657 x 0.222 x 0.7 millimeters.
It was created by the Brooklyn arts group, MSCHFwhich is known for producing fashion objects and accessories that are a criticism of capitalist consumerism. His productions include shoes containing human blood, slippers with holy water on the soles, cologne that smells like WD-40, and giant red rubber boots.
The bag, auctioned on the Joopiter portal, received 36 pujas that started from a $15,000 minimum and finally last Wednesday it was awarded to him by someone – unidentified – who offered $51,000, a figure to which fees were added.
Created with a 3D printer, MSCHF sought to make people think about how objects lose their meaning practical when they are reduced to a piece of jewelry and their function is abstracted to be “purely representing a brand”according to the description.
