Looking to step up from CDLP? These 11 brands share the aesthetic but bring elevated materials, construction and a higher price tier — ranked by overall similarity.
Lisbon slow-fashion label making boldly patterned, texture-driven shirts designed in Portugal and Fair Trade produced in India.
Why it's similar. Otherwise designs its shirts in Lisbon and has them hand-produced in India under documented Fair Trade arrangements, trading CDLP's muted minimalism for bold woven textures and print.
British maker of plain, high-quality cotton and merino basics — T-shirts, polos and underwear — still sewn at its own Long Eaton factory.
Why it's similar. Sunspel shares a contemporary aesthetic and utilizes high-quality natural fibers similar to CDLP.
What changes. Cotton/merino craft heritage rather than lyocell sustainability story
London footwear label making vegan, ethically produced canvas hi-top and low-top trainers from organic cotton and recycled rubber.
