While there’s often a lot of buzz about who Taylor Swift is dating, we’re more interested in her massive collection of affordable luxury handbags. Zoom in on Swift’s latest outfits and you’ll see that they are topped off with undeniably beautiful clutches, crossbodies, and shoulder bags. The kicker: Most of them are only a fraction of the price of the majority of designer accessories, which typically run for well over $1,000.
We’ve seen Ms. Swift sling Mansur Gavriel’s expertly crafted crossbody bags over her shoulders many a time and keep Brandon Blackwood’s artistically cool clutches in hand for dinner dates and evenings out, but as Ms. Swift returns to the USA this fall to complete her Eras Tour (and cheer on boyfriend Travis Kelce, as the NFL football season has commenced), a fresh crop of affordable bags have been seen on the singer songwriter’s arm. From romantic mini bags from Vivienne Westwood to sturdy suede stunners from Manu Atelier, each one of these designers deserve a closer look.
Taylor Swift’s Favorite Affordable Handbags:
- The Everyday Crossbody: Mansur Gavriel classic crossbody bag, $595
- The Romantic Evening Option: Vivienne Westwood Bella Heart Frame velvet tote bag, $590
- The Sturdy Suede Carryall: Manu Atelier mini Gala nubuck bag, $590
- The Throwback Top Handle: Brandon Blackwood Kendrick trunk, $300
- The Designer Mini Bag: Vivienne Westwood Tuesday mini bag, $690
- The Cozy Clutch: Mansur Gavriel Cloud leather clutch bag, $695
Ahead, we break down all you need to know about Swift’s attainable handbag collection, plus the best items to shop now. The best part? These are all under $700.
Vivienne Westwood
Perhaps inspired by her summer in London, Swift has been sporting a lot of full looks from Vivienne Westwood lately, and that includes the brand’s adorable handbags. What you might not know is that many of the iconic fashion house’s purses come in under-$1,000. We are going wild for her dreamy, ‘New Romantics’-inspired, velvet clasped bag and can’t get enough of the ornate detailing on the brand’s Tuesday mini bag, which Swift paired with another plaid ensemble earlier this fall—giving us true autumn vibes.
Manu Atelier
We have been seeing a lot of suede this fall/winter season (a texture Vogue editors can’t get enough of!) and that includes handbags. As Swift demonstrates, a simple design made from high-quality leather is all you need to accessorize everyday looks and more—and she found her hero piece in Manu Atelier’s mini Gala bag. The brand’s attention to craft and detail makes it a winner in our book, as well, and with price points under-$1,000, we are sold. Try wearing yours with a cozy, cashmere dress, oversized coat, and black boots for a perfect, cold-weather ensemble inspired by Swift herself.

Mansur Gavriel
For over 10 years now, Mansur Gavriel’s founders Rachel Mansur and Floriana Gavriel have artfully crafted handbags inspired by the simplistic beauty of design. Swift owns quite a few styles from the brand, like their popular Cloud pouch and the sold-out M Frame bag, but nothing beats the classic crossbody made from sumptuous, Italian leather. Swift proves how the bag can be dressed up or down no matter the season, whether that be a casually cool vintage polo and denim shorts as seen above, a retro-inspired sundress in the summer, or a mini skirt and sweater in the fall.

Brandon Blackwood
If you’ve been wondering where Swift’s miniature trunk clutch is from, look no further. It’s a design by the one and only Brandon Blackwood. The New York–based designer has been creating bags since 2015, but with the launch of the End Systemic Racism bag in 2020, the label catapulted into global fame. Since then, Brandon Blackwood has expanded its offering of must-have designs to include the coolest over-the-knee boots and compliment-worthy cozy outerwear. We love how Swift paired her boxed Brandon Blackwood clutch with pleated trousers, an off-the-shoulder top, and velvet sandals—just one of the many ways to style the viral mini bags by the label.
