PICS: Thuli Phongolo spotted with a R85,000 LV handbag

Well-known Mzansi actress and DJ Thuli Phongolo is trending against the backdrop of her recent Instagram post.

With a career spanning years, she has quickly become one of the most followed stars in South Africa. Thanks to her huge social media following, she often trends whenever she posts or gets posted.

Thuli Phongolo set social media abuzz after she flaunted one of Louis Vuitton’s coveted handbags that cost a fortune.

She undoubtedly lives lavishly and is unapologetic about it. Thuli Phongolo is trending after being spotted with a coveted Petite Boite Chapeau (Round LV Sling bag).

Fashion enthusiasts were quick to endorse it, while others quickly figured out the bag’s price tag.

The designer bag has a base price tag of R85 000 in several authorised stores. However, fans jokingly claimed that it was DJ Maphorisa’s bag.

Watch:

DJ Maphorisa, who happens to be Thuli Phongolo’s ex, has a soft spot for designer handbags, and his exclusive collection often thrusts him into top trends.

In 2022, the muso took to X, formerly Twitter, to share photos of his Petite Boite Chapeau (Round LV Sling bag). However, he complimented the bag with a Round Zip wallet worth R18 500.
