Amina Muaddi owns one silhouette, the flared signature heel under a satin slipper, and under a pointed slingback with a crystal at the toe. If that is the shoe you want, nothing else is quite it. If what you want is the mood, an evening shoe with crystals, a sculptural heel, a satin mule, then several houses Luxury Handbags stocks sit close, and each does one thing Amina Muaddi does not. This is the comparison, with prices from the live Luxury Handbags collections on 17 September 2026 and every brand linked to its own hub.
1. Mach and Mach
The Georgian house of Nina and Gvantsa Macharashvili makes the louder crystal shoe: double bows in full pavé on a classic pin heel, in satin and PVC. Where Amina Muaddi puts one crystal element on a shoe, Mach and Mach covers the toe. Buy it for the bow and for a shoe that photographs from across a room; buy Amina Muaddi for the flared heel and for a slipper that also works by day.
2. The Attico
The Milan label of Gilda Ambrosio and Giorgia Tordini is the one for a strappy evening sandal with a thicker platform and for the pool slide with a heel. The mood is louche where Amina Muaddi is polished. Attico’s range at Luxury Handbags is broad, dresses and bags as well as shoes, so it is the house to shop if the shoe is part of a whole look.
3. Magda Butrym
The Polish designer’s shoes carry her signature, the fabric flower, on satin slingbacks and mules. If the crystal on a Begum is the detail you want but you would rather it were a rose, Magda Butrym is the answer. The dresses are the main event there, and the shoes are cut to go with them.
4. By Far
The Sofia label sits lower in price and mood: nineties shapes, square toes, croc-embossed leather, a kitten heel and a block heel rather than a stiletto. It is the day shoe and the bag to buy alongside an Amina Muaddi evening pair, and it is where to start if the Amina Muaddi price is the obstacle. Luxury Handbags carries By Far shoes and bags.
5. Alaïa
Alaïa shoes are the sculptural alternative: the mesh ballet flats, the studded sandals, the heels with the house’s laser-cut and perforated leathers. Where Amina Muaddi is a single heel shape in many materials, Alaïa is many shapes in leather. It is the most expensive name on this list and the most collected.
6. Schiaparelli
For surrealist hardware, the gold toes and the anatomical heels, Schiaparelli is the only house that goes further than a crystal buckle. The shoes are couture-priced and the shapes are the point. Buy them for the object; buy Amina Muaddi for a shoe you will wear forty times.
7. Cult Gaia
The Los Angeles label is best known for its bags, the bamboo Ark above all, and its shoes follow the same idea: sculptural, often in acrylic and resin, sometimes with a heel that is a piece of jewellery. It is the house for a shoe with an architectural heel at a lower price than Amina Muaddi.
How they compare on price
At Luxury Shoes , Amina Muaddi shoes run $1,200 to $2,850 and the bags $1,670 to $4,070. By Far and Cult Gaia sit below that, Mach and Mach and The Attico alongside it, Magda Butrym and Alaïa alongside and above, and Schiaparelli above. Every collection is linked from the brand hubs, and the Amina Muaddi collection is here.

Frequently asked questions
What brand is similar to Amina Muaddi?
