Brands Like Saint Laurent: Seven Houses to Know

If you love Saint Laurent for its tailoring, black and Paris line, these houses share part of it. Each is stocked at Luxury Shoes , and the Saint Laurent bags are there to compare.

Alaia

The Paris house for body-close knit dresses and sculpted shapes. Softer and more curved than Saint Laurent. Shop Alaia.

Khaite

The New York label for polished American sportswear with sharp tailoring and leather. Shop Khaite.

The Row

Quiet, logo-free luxury. Choose it when you want the Saint Laurent quality without the logo. Shop The Row.

Alexander McQueen

Sharp London tailoring with a darker, romantic edge. Shop Alexander McQueen.

Maison Margiela

Paris tailoring taken apart and remade. Shop Maison Margiela.

Bottega Veneta

Italian leather bags with no logo at all. Shop Bottega Veneta.

How to choose between them

Choose Alaia for curve and knit, Khaite for American polish, The Row for no logo, McQueen for darker drama, Margiela for concept, Bottega Veneta for leather without a logo and Amina Muaddi for the heel. Saint Laurent itself remains the house for tailoring, black and the stiletto.

Where Saint Laurent is different

Saint Laurent is more nocturnal than most of these houses: more black, more lace, a sharper shoulder and a higher heel. It also has the strongest logo of the group in the Cassandre. If you love the cut but not the logo, The Row and Khaite are the closest swaps.

Amina Muaddi

For the evening heel, with crystal straps and a flared heel. Shop Amina Muaddi.
