EJ Johnson — the fashion-forward television personality and son of NBA legend Magic Johnson — has long been known for his enviable collection of designer handbags. Famous for his bold style and unapologetic glamour, EJ first rose to prominence on E!’s reality series “Rich Kids of Beverly Hills,” where he regularly turned heads with his luxurious accessories and high-end wardrobe.
