Just after Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn split following six years of dating, Swift led by example and followed the lead of her own “Bejeweled” lyrics, “And by the way, I’m going out tonight.” On Monday, April 10, Swift stepped out for dinner in New York City’s West Village, just a few blocks away from her old townhouse on Cornelia Street. Lucky bystanders got to witness the first single Taylor Swift sighting IRL, and the incredible outfit she chose for the occasion. I immediately scoured the internet for Swift’s bag—and after seeing the over $1k price tag, I switched my focus to finding affordable versions of Taylor Swift’s post-breakup Paco Rabanne bag. (Check out photos from Swift’s appearance here). If it weren’t for the crowd of fans yelling Swift’s name, you may have been almost too distracted by her shimmering Paco Rabanne handbag to notice who was carrying it—almost.
To my surprise, though, I found 10 great lookalike options at a fraction of the price. Whether you’re shopping for your own “revenge look” or just need a killer outfit for the Eras Tour, these bejeweled chainmail bags will compliment any look. If you want a full Swift-inspired outfit, pair it with a black bodysuit and high-waisted jeans (bonus points for butterfly detailing). Keep scrolling for the 10 best affordable Taylor Swift-style alternatives.

Beaded Shoulder Bag
The tiered beads on this shoulder bag create the illusion of a chainmail effect. I love the ways the beading continues down the shoulder strap.

This shoulder bag has the chainmail effect with large silver pailettes. I love that it zips closed and has the option to use a chain or leather strap. It’s also available in gold.
