In a video on the collections website, Jeff Koons said he hoped people would be able to use it to connect.

He went on to say that he wanted to collection to be something that was both desirable and appreciated.

“We want to make something that really uses materials, textures, colours, communicates, creates something desirable. Louis Vuitton does that and my art tries to do that through idea and through appreciation of craft. I wanted it to become art. I believe these bags are art”
