A Bunch of Great New Louis Vuitton Bags Have Quietly Popped Up on the Brand’s Site Recently
If you’ve ever tried to browse the offerings on Louis Vuitton‘s website, you know that the setup is not exactly user-friendly.

This handbag roundup features a surprising number of celebs over 50, and of course, their handbag selections are superior to mine and maybe also most people’s in almost every way.
