Rihanna's love for vintage fashion continues to shine, this time with a rare Louis Vuitton bag from 2002.
Chanel last week announced that Matthieu Blazy would be taking over from Virginie Viard as its new creative lead – meaning there are perhaps a limited number of Bottega Veneta placements to come from Rihanna .
