The powerful matriarch of the Manzo family has gone ahead and followed a tried-and-true, Real Housewives tradition. Luckily, she hasn’t recorded a laughably bad song (like so many other Bravo-lebrities) but has just launched her own line of Kristino bags.

A percentage of Caroline’s bags will go to a slew of different charities because as she put it, “what better way to give back than by making pretty handbags?” And why not put your name on a product once you’ve reached that Housewives-type of celebrity? Bethenny Frankel found succes with the Skinny Girl Margarita, Ramona Singer now has her own brand of Pino Grigio, and Kim Zolciak has her very own line of wigs. The video above features fellow RHONJ Jacqueline for a hot second — and gratuitous shots of Caroline laying on a couch covered with her bags. Now just tell us that Caroline’s bags, too, are as “thick as thieves” and we’re sold.
