American art collective MSCHF has revealed a microscopic Louis Vuitton handbag made from neon-green photopolymer resin.
The bag, which was created using 3D printing, is 658 micrometres high and 700 micrometres long.
Commenters had mixed opinions. One thought the design was "ironic" and a "perfect expression of the usefulness of overpriced luxury items", whilst another argued that the "toxicity of polymer resin should be the commentary".
Other stories in this week's newsletter that fired up the comments section included a curved skyscraper in Canada by Kengo Kuma, a courtyard home in India designed by Rain Studio and the death of RIBA Royal Gold Medal-winning architect Michael Hopkins.
