Forget Gucci, Check Out This Ridiculous GPU Purse Instead

In a bizarre twist of fashion meets technology, GPU Purses has introduced what might be the most unconventional accessory of the decade: a purse featuring an embedded, decade-old graphics card. The price tag? An eye-watering $1000 US.

While the GPU market has seen its fair share of creative DIY projects, this latest offering pushes the boundaries of practicality and taste. GPU Purses has adopted an unusual business model, repurposing full GPUs into carrying accessories. Unable to utilize NVIDIA’s top-of-the-line GeForce RTX 4090 due to its massive size, the company has opted for the aging GeForce GT 730.

The result is a product that many observers describe as visually unappealing and exorbitantly priced. The combination of outdated technology and questionable aesthetics has left many wondering about the rationale behind this peculiar fashion statement.

The purse features a transparent housing putting the outdated hardware on full display. Adding to the peculiar design is a decorative cooling fan on the exterior, likely serving no practical purpose beyond questionable aesthetics.

The purse’s structure relies on chains for carrying, perhaps the only element that aligns with traditional handbag design. However, functionality appears to be an afterthought, with the seller claiming the interior space is barely sufficient to accommodate a smartphone.

The ludicrous $1,024 price tag represents a markup of approximately 50 times the current market value of the GT 730 GPU itself. The extreme pricing strategy has left many questioning whether the company has seriously considered the product’s marketability, or if they’re simply banking on novelty factor and shock value to drive sales.
