A miniscule bag 'smaller than a grain of salt' sold for $63,000 (Rs 51.6 lakh) during an online auction, according to CNN. As a matter of fact, for Rs 51 Lakhs one can buy 2,12,500 packets of 1 kg salt.

The brilliant yellowish-green tiny bag is based on a popular Louis Vuitton design. MSCHF, a New York art collective, designed the bag.

According to CNN, the bag is only 657 by 222 by 700 microns (less than 0.03 inches wide). When MSCHF shared a photo of the bag on its Instagram account earlier this month, it caused quite a commotion.

According to MSCHF, the bag is narrow enough to fit through the eye of a needle and is smaller than a grain of sea salt. "There are big handbags, normal handbags, and small handbags, but this is the final word in bag miniaturisation," it stated.

According to reports, the bag was created using two-photo polymerisation, a technique used to 3D print micro-scale plastic parts. The bag was marketed in conjunction with a microscope with a digital display, allowing the consumer to inspect the product.

MSCHF's images reveal Louis Vuitton's distinctive "LV" monogram printed on the bag. The full-sized LV bag ranges in price from $3,100 to $4,300.

MSCHF, which was created in 2016, is well-known for its unusual auctions. Nike famously sued the group over its 'Satan Shoes,' a collection of 666 pairs of customised trainers with satanic emblems and drips of actual human blood.

The disagreement was eventually resolved out of court. MSCHF broke up four Birkin bags in 2021 to produce sandals that sold for much as $760,000 per pair.
