If you buy Aeyde for its square-toe flats, block-heel mules and Italian-made leather at direct-to-consumer prices, this list covers the labels that scratch the same itch. The closest matches are footwear and leather-goods specialists — BY FAR, ATP Atelier, Mansur Gavriel, PB 0110 — while the ready-to-wear names here (Filippa K, Joseph, Tibi, Acne Studios) match Aeyde's pared-back German-modernist mood rather than its product. Expect to pay similar or more; genuinely cheaper minimalism means dropping to Rains or Camper territory.

Minimalist$$$$ · CheaperSofia, Bulgaria · est. 2016Made in Europe
Bulgarian accessories label known for 1990s-inspired leather shoulder bags and block-heeled footwear, designed and produced in Sofia.
Why it's similar. Both brands embrace minimalist aesthetics with structured silhouettes and a neutral palette.
Minimalist$$$$ · Similar priceNew York, United States · est. 2017Made in Italy, USA
New York label offering minimalist luxury essentials — tailoring, coats and jersey basics — sold as curated multi-piece bundles rather than seasonal collections.
Why it's similar. Highly aligned with AEYDE in minimalist style, premium segment, and urban sophistication. Both focus on sustainability and timeless design.
Tokyo avant-garde menswear label founded in 2001 by Takahiro Miyazaki, known for dark, garment-dyed layering and asymmetric tailoring.
Why it's similar. A shared commitment to restrained, monochrome design and craft-led construction, though Tokyo's Viridi-Anne works in a darker, avant-garde register of layered outerwear rather than Aeyde's clean leather geometry.
$$$ · CheaperStockholm, Sweden · est. 1993Made in Europe & Asia
Swedish minimalist label founded in Stockholm in 1993, making pared-back womenswear and menswear staples alongside a resale platform.
Why it's similar. Stockholm's original Scandinavian minimalist house, offering the same muted palette and pared-back staples in clothing form at a similar med-high price tier — now owned by OJ Holding Sweden.
$$$ · Similar priceMelbourne, Australia · est. 2017
Australian womenswear label making slow-release capsules of minimal tailoring, knitwear and dresses in natural fibres, founded in 2017 by Charlotte Hicks.
Why it's similar. Slow-release capsules of minimal tailoring, knitwear and dresses in natural fibres and a restrained neutral palette, made to be interchangeable and long-lived like Aeyde's core shoe range.
$$$ · CheaperMallorca, Spain · est. 2014Made in Europe
CamperLab is Camper's experimental Mallorca-based line, now a genderless fashion label known for sculptural footwear and Paris runway shows.
Why it's similar. Another European footwear house working in leather and sculptural form, though CamperLab's chunky soles and genderless runway pieces are far more experimental than Aeyde's slim, understated shapes.
$$$$ · Similar priceStockholm, Sweden · est. 1996Made in Italy
Stockholm fashion house founded in 1996 by Jonny Johansson, known for oversized tailoring, mohair knitwear, denim and the Musubi bag.
Why it's similar. Stockholm's benchmark for Scandinavian minimalism, sharing Aeyde's muted palette and clean lines across ready-to-wear, footwear and the Musubi bag, at a higher price tier.
$$$ · CheaperNew York, United States · est. 2021Made in Asia, specifically China
Interior was a New York womenswear label blending sportswear, tailoring and eveningwear; it ceased operations in August 2024.
Why it's similar. Its restrained New York slip dresses and deconstructed suiting suited the same minimalist wardrobe; the label closed in August 2024, so pieces now circulate on resale.
Auckland womenswear label built on minimalist tailoring and shirting, designed to carry from the office into evening.
Why it's similar. Auckland label building sculptural blazers, poplin shirting and trousers in a minimal palette — day-to-evening staples that sit naturally alongside Aeyde's flats and boots.
$$$ · Similar priceFrankfurt, Germany · est. 1971Made in Germany, China
German design house whose minimalist Rams-era watches and clocks are produced under licence by Zeon for brand owner Procter & Gamble.
Why it's similar. German functionalist design in its purest form — high-contrast dials, Helvetica numerals, no ornament — echoing the modernist logic behind Aeyde's Berlin studio.

ATP Atelier. Like Aeyde it's a northern-European label (Stockholm, founded 2011) that designs minimalist sandals, boots and leather bags and has them handmade by small family-run Italian workshops, sold direct and through multi-brand retailers. BY FAR is the closest on silhouette, though its 1990s-referencing bags and croc-embossed leathers are more decorative.
Are there cheaper brands like Aeyde?
Options are limited if you want Italian-made leather. Rains sits in the mid tier but makes rubberized waterproof outerwear and bags rather than fine leather shoes. CamperLab and Filippa K are med-high, a notch below the high-tier pricing of BY FAR, ATP Atelier and Mansur Gavriel. Filippa K's Preowned resale platform is the best route to Scandinavian minimalism at a discount.
Which of these brands make bags rather than shoes?
Mansur Gavriel (the red-lined Bucket Bag, Cloud, Candy and Tote) and PB 0110 (bucket bags, totes and backpacks in natural leather and linen) are bag-led. BY FAR and ATP Atelier do both bags and footwear, like Aeyde.
No. The New York label founded in 2021 by Jack Miner and Lily Miesmer shut down in August 2024. Its slip dresses, knit separates and deconstructed suiting are now only available second-hand.
What is Aeyde actually known for?
Square-toe flats such as the Gigi, block-heel mules and sandals, ankle and knee-high boots, loafers and a small leather bag range — all designed in Berlin, made in Italy, and priced transparently through its own site. The look leans on German modernism: clean geometry, muted colour, almost no visible hardware.
