Indian fashion designer Mrugesh Parmar might not make the best handbags, but it seems he might make the biggest. The 27-year-old has been recognized by the Limca Book of World Records for creating the world’s largest fabric handbag, and a Guinness World Record is all but a formality.
While Guinness World Records has recognized his feat and awarded him a personal identification number only given to record holders, he won’t receive his certificate of achievement until next month.
The record-breaking bag measures 26.2 feet long and 32.8 feet wide. Its handle is a whopping 16.4 feet in length. An impressive 580.7 feet of fabric went into the monster handbag, but environmentalists need not worry about waste. Parmar actually used offcuts from jute dresses.
Parmar stole the record from a Romanian designer. He was inspired to create the enormous purse as he’s also been fascinated by records. This isn’t his first either; he also has an entry in the Limca Book of World Records for stitching the most buttons on a single shirt.
Parmar intends to donate the handbag to a charity who can break it down and make dresses for girls in needs. What a great way to end the saga of this supersized carryall!
