Want the Sandqvist look for less? These 4 brands match closely on style, silhouette and category while sitting at a lower price tier — ranked by overall similarity.
American bag maker founded in 1989, known for customisable messenger bags, backpacks and durable, utilitarian urban-cycling design.
Why it's similar. Bike messenger Rob Honeycutt started Timbuk2 in San Francisco in 1989, and its waterproof-lined Classic Messenger answers the same commuter brief as Sandqvist's canvas totes and laptop bags.
Vancouver bag label known for the Little America backpack and striped-lining duffels, with a range spanning luggage, apparel and headwear.
Why it's similar. Herschel Supply builds Vancouver backpacks and duffels, the Little America and the Novel, on the same everyday-carry premise as Sandqvist, finished with striped cotton lining rather than Scandinavian plainness.
American backpack label owned by VF Corporation, known for cheap, durable school packs such as the SuperBreak, Big Student and Right Pack.
