The playful design trolls its fans as it measures out to be only seven by five inches is size. It is constructed like a regular tee however, made up of 100% cotton materials for a soft finish. Branding details can be found across the chest reading "CHINATOWN" in a bold arc font finish. The mini t-shirt was showcased originally on [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worlds-smallest) as the label unveiled a DM conversation with @substep4dads, discussing the possibilities of gifts in that size. The fashion brand playfully makes the statement that the tee will "not fit you but might fit a [stuffed animal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniverse-make-it-mini-spaces)."
