The online auction, which took place on Wednesday, June 28, saw the tiny bag fetching over $63,000, according to CNN.
Measuring just 657 by 222 by 700 microns (or less than 0.03 inches wide), the fluorescent yellowish-green bag was based on a popular Louis Vuitton design and is dubbed the 'Microscopic Handbag' by the brand.
Sharing more details about the bag, the brand wrote on Instagram:
"Smaller than a grain of sea salt and narrow enough to pass through the eye of a needle, this is a purse so small you'll need a microscope to see it. There are big handbags, normal handbags, and small handbags, but this is the final word in bag miniaturization. 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."
