Taylor Swift is a practical girlie but she’s also an ultra-luxe girlie.
Given Taylor Swift’s widespread fame, we just have to take a moment to reflect on her taste in handbags. Since her career soared in 2006, it’s hard not to notice her choice in luxury accessories. From the quiet bags Taylor Swift casually carried around Cornelia Street when she moved to the Big Apple with her cats, to the classic bag styles she’s recently been spotted wearing while heading out from dinner dates with her A-list girl squad, her fashion taste speaks volumes; certainly, about her personal style but also what she picks up from within her influential circle.
So, although Swift is the most famous pop star at the moment jet-setting from one event to another, the luxurious products she packs with her are just a click away at FASHIONPHILE. So that means it’s possible that we can live that luxe life too — as much as our bank accounts will allow. Here are some notable ultra-luxury designer bags Taylor Swift wears.
Taylor Swift Prefers Casual and Quiet Bags
Luxury lovers are no strangers to quiet luxury, as is Taylor Swift. The following are a few of Taylor Swift’s go-to bags that perfectly capture her understated style.
The Dolce & Gabbana Agata Bag
Frame bags are classy and chic coupled with just the right amount of edge. Remember when she and Karlie Kloss were inseparable? They both sported black Dolce & Gabbana bags in NYC — Taylor with the Agata bag and Karlie toting around the Miss Sicily. Whether Taylor was aiming for a subtle look intentionally or if this bag is simply her style, either way, we’re totally here for it.
The Prada Galleria Tote
Between her 2015 Calvin Harris era and her 2017 Reputation era, Taylor Swift has been toting around her Prada Galleria Tote. Presently, even with her furry feline in tow outside her condo or after a workout, Taylor Swift can be spotted with her black and beige Prada Galleria tote bags. When someone has more than one color of the same bag, that’s a clear indication it’s a go-to. In fact, Miuccia Prada’s herstory and the rise of Prada is a story that’s not to be missed. Taylor knows it.
The Mansur Gavriel M Frame Box Bag
For Mansur Gavriel, I personally recall stumbling upon the brand while wandering through the cobblestone streets of Soho. My immediate impression of Mansur Gavriel was their aim to blend luxury with affordability, a vision that still resonates today. Mansur Gavriel remains one of those attainable and lesser-known luxury brands that offer incredible value.
Whether you’re a Swiftie or not, Mansur Gavriel is a designer she loves, and for good reason. Their M Frame Box Bag made its debut in late October 2022, and ever since Taylor got her hands on it, she’s been rocking some seriously stylish looks around town. This exact bag looks to be sold out since Taylor Swift’s been wearing it. But the good news is you can set up an item alert with FASHIONPHILE to be notified when we get this bag in the building!
The Powerhouse Classic Bags Loved By Taylor Swift
Arguably, one of the best things to do in NYC (ok, really any city) is eat… and the second best thing is to look really good while doing it. The restaurant scene is buzzin’ and when Taylor Swift and her team are not busy throwing around easter eggs, she’s out grabbing dinner at one of her favorite restaurants like Il Buco Alimentari & Vineria or swinging by a private party at Lucali Pizza restaurant.
The Stella McCartney Embossed Bucket Bag
The Stella McCartney black embossed bucket bag was spotted on Taylor Swift as she descended the stairs from NYC Bondst Japanese restaurant with the NFL WAGS and her A-list girl squad including Brittany Mahomes carrying a white Bottega Veneta Arco Tote, Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez, and Sophie Turner.
Taylor Swift also wore a Stella McCartney crossbody bag to Coachella weekend 1 in a casual outfit alongside her beau Travis Kelce. The skort Taylor Swift wore to the 2024 festival and the Stella bag actually both went viral. If you want one ladies and gents, set up an item alert stat!

Versace Greca Goddess Shoulder Bag
Speaking of New York City sightings, just twenty-four hours shy of her 34th birthday she was spotted stepping out of (yet another) restaurant with friends Selena Gomez, Kaleigh Sperry, and Miles Teller. As an influential female in the music industry, it’s only fitting she sports a bag run by one of the most powerful women in fashion, Donatella Versace.
The Louis Vuitton Camera Case Bag
On her numerous outings, Taylor Swift has been seen carrying this trunk-inspired handbag from Louis Vuitton, and it seems like bestie Blake Lively has been spotted with it, too. Whether it’s a “sisterhood of the traveling pants” moment or they both simply love the same bag, we’re crazy for the structured camera case that’s unmistakably Louis. More about LV trunk bags here.
The Saint Laurent Le 5 a 7 Soft Hobo
The bag made for your 5-7 adventures and beyond, go figure Taylor Swift snatches the Saint Laurent Le 5 a 7 Hobo, the latest “It” bag every girl has on their FASHIONPHILE following list. Learn more about the Le 5 a 7 handbag collection from YSL here.
Today’s Trendy Bags Spotted On Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift has a knack for trendy staples and it’s everything every ultra-luxury shopper is eyeing these days.
Judith Leiber Crystal Clutches
Those mini sparkly and irresistible clutches? Judith Leiber makes ‘em. Just in time for the Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas, Shaquille O’Neal surprised Taylor Swift with a custom crystal-encrusted Judith Leiber football clutch (with an 87 on it of course) that she wore to the game. She was also gifted a Judith Leiber crystal-encrusted mic from the Kansas City Chiefs co-owners. Taylor would probably love a crystal cat minaudiere if she doesn’t already have one. You can’t shake off the unexpected allure of Judith Leiber, just like Taylor Swift’s catchy tunes!
Bottega Veneta Andiamo Tote
And then right in time for Valentine’s Day this year, Taylor Swift received a Bottega Veneta Andiamo tote from her NFL sweetheart. Take a cue from Trav, everyone! Bottega Veneta is one of Travis Kelce’s favorite designers and he totes around his Bottega Duffle almost daily.
The Andiamo bag is dressed in Bottega Veneta’s iconic Intrecciato weave and decorated with an understated metal knot; it’s definitely having a moment right now and we’re excited to see all the places it will go. Learn more about iconic Bottega Veneta textiles here.
Many eyes are on Taylor Swift but ours are on her coveted collection of handbags; these are some of the styles she’s been seen out with. Got a favorite?
