Louis Vuitton’s special collections have us drooling each time. This time it’s a stupendously gorgeous art-inspired collection titled “Masters”, which has prints from famous Masters splashed all over the handbags, scarves, laptop cases and other accessories that are part of it. So you have Leonardo da Vinci‘s “Mona Lisa”, Vincent van Gogh‘s “Wheat Field with Cypresses”, Jean-Honoré Fragonard’s “Young Girl Playing with her Dog”, Titian’s “Mars, Venus and Cupid”, and “The Tiger Hunt” by Peter Paul Rubens. The name of the artist is emblazoned across each bag in shiny metal letters, while Koons’ signature and the Louis Vuitton monogram are subtly located in each corner. A dangling leather charm is reminiscent of Koons’ famous “Rabbit” sculpture from 1986, while inside each bag is a biography and sketch of the artist whose artwork is featured on the piece, and the name of the museum where the painting can be viewed. Koons, who is most famous for his huge sculptures of balloon animals cast in metal, often uses reproductions of famous paintings in his work. And this collection will be available from 28 April, 2017, on the Louis Vuitton website and in stores. The prices begin at €395 for a rabbit bag charm, going up to to €3,000 for the larger bags.
