If you’re looking for a purse that has a GPU encased in epoxy, GPU Purse might have what you need. However, this seems more like a scam than a real deal. There’s no available information about the seller, although one detail could draw some interest.
The GeForce GT 730 included in the purse was released in 2018, specifically the version being sold here. The Gigabyte GT 730 is built on the GK208 chip (though NVIDIA also produced a GF108 Fermi-based variant) and comes with 2GB of memory. It’s a 1.5-slot high card, and one of its key advantages is that it doesn’t need any power connectors.
The purse is a see-through handbag with the graphics card embedded as part of the design. You can see the Gigabyte fan on one side, allowing space between the PCB and the fan to store items, just like a normal purse. The seller assures that it can hold a phone, and buyers can select either a long or short chain. However, the GT 730 is the only graphics card option currently available.
The GeForce GT 730 is neither a collector’s item nor a rare GPU. It’s simply an outdated, slow card that was likely inexpensive and may no longer even function. Still, as with many luxury products, price might not matter to some buyers, so there could be a niche market for it.
The site’s header image, however, features a high-end GPU, the Tesla P100, which would be a more fitting choice for this concept. Unfortunately, that one isn’t available for purchase. The company also lists an H100 Purse, priced at a staggering $65,536.

If you’re truly after something cool and rare, the NVIDIA TITAN Xp Star Wars Edition—an actual collectible—would be a far better choice. You can find it for around $350, which is much less than the cost of this purse. However, it’s not something you can easily fit into a handbag.
