A minuscule handbag measuring just 657 by 222 by 700 microns (or less than 0.03 inches wide) sold for over $63,000 at an online auction Wednesday.

I'm just dumbfounded that this is a thing. The owner can't even show it off (let alone use it) because it's too small to be seen! What's the point??

Probably seen more like a donation to an art collective and you get a neat thing in exchange
And the thing probably cost quite a lot to produce, so you could also consider that it’s supporting micro scale research
