The collection which is named “Masters” features bags and accessories printed with old Masters paintings, including Titian’s “Mars, Venus, and Cupid” and Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa.” Though there are no balls in sight, each artist’s name is displayed like a brand name across the bag, which, according to Koons, performs a similar function to the ball in the original series.

Each bag also bares Koons own initials in the iconic LV monogram style and includes a classic Koons bunny-shaped bag charm. The “Masters” collection will be available from April 28.
