Nobody makes clothes quite like Dries Van Noten, and the brands people search for as alternatives fall into two groups: the print houses that share its love of pattern and colour, and the quiet houses that supply the plain pieces a Dries Van Noten wardrobe is built around. This is a ranked list of ten, every one stocked at Coveti, with what each is the match for. The Dries Van Noten pieces are linked where a comparison helps; the house itself is at the brand page.

Key facts

Dries Van Noten at Coveti on 20 September 2026: 382 pieces, $340 to $10,630

1. La DoubleJ

Milan, archival Italian print on silk and jersey; the closest match for the print-first customer, at lower prices.

2. Erdem

London, romantic florals and embroidery on a more fitted, occasion-led cut; the match for the embroidered Dries Van Noten pieces.

3. Alemais

Sydney, hand-drawn prints and embroidery with a holiday ease; the match for the printed cotton and viscose pieces.

4. Zimmermann

Sydney, printed silk and lace dresses; the match for the slip and shirt dresses.

5. Stine Goya

Copenhagen, painterly prints and colour on easy shapes at contemporary prices; the match for a first printed piece.

6. Loewe

Madrid, craft and leather with a strong artistic idea; the match for the bags and the shoes.

7. Toteme

Stockholm, the opposite palette but the same easy cut; the match for the plain trousers and coats a Dries Van Noten wardrobe needs.

8. The Row

New York, the most stripped-back luxury ready-to-wear; the match for the tailoring at the same price band.

9. Khaite

New York, knitwear and denim with an architectural edge; the match for the cashmere cardigans and the wide jeans.

10. Schiaparelli

Paris, surrealist gilded jewellery; the match for the brass and painted jewellery at a higher price.

How to use the list

If the print is what you love, start with La DoubleJ and Stine Goya below the Dries Van Noten price and Erdem at it. If the ease of the cut is what you love, Toteme and The Row cut the same wide trouser in a plainer cloth; the Tailored wool pants in Black and the Wide pleated jeans in Indigo are the Dries Van Noten versions. If it is the decoration, nothing else does the bullion embroidery of the Embroidered ankle-length wool coat in Black at ready-to-wear, and the nearest is Erdem. For the shoes, Paris Texas and By Far are the peers to the Leather loafers in Tan and the Suede sneakers in Black; the Marni and Etro comparison covers the two Italian houses most often named.

“Ever since, Dries stages two womenswear and two menswear shows each year,” the house writes on its Biography page of the first Paris womenswear show in 1993.
