Handbag ‘smaller than a grain of salt’ sells for over $63,000

A microscopic handbag, measuring less than 0.03 inches wide, sold for over $63,000 at an online auction. The fluorescent yellowish-green bag is based on a Louis Vuitton design but was created by a New York art collective.
The handbag, called the "Microscopic Handbag," was made using two-photon polymerization, a 3D printing technology for micro-scale plastic parts. It can only be seen clearly using a microscope equipped with a digital display.
The sale was hosted by Joopiter, an online auction house founded by Pharrell Williams.
