Use the comparison below with our quiet luxury bags edit and the Mansur Gavriel bags guide to find the right match.

What makes a brand like Mansur Gavriel?

Before comparing labels, it helps to pin down what you like about this one. Mansur Gavriel describes its goods as everyday luxury defined by simplicity and a focus on material, technique and shape. Its aesthetic, in its own words, balances “quiet restraint and colorful exuberance”. In the bags that translates into four things you can check on any other label.

• Clean shapes with little hardware. The Everyday Cabas is an open tote with a magnetic closure and not much else.
• Named colour. Claret, Sabbia, Algae, Uva and the house red, Flamma, rather than plain tan and green.
• Stated capacity. Every bag tells you what fits, from an iPhone Pro Max to a 16-inch laptop.
• Italian making. All 120 pieces at Coveti are labelled Made in Italy.

Few labels hit all four. Each of the six below matches some of them, and the table shows which.

Brands like Mansur Gavriel: side by side

The Row: the quietest option

The Row was founded in 2006 by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and its name comes from Savile Row in London. Its best-known bag is the Margaux, a softly structured top-handle bag. If you love Mansur Gavriel for the plain shape and the absence of a logo, The Row is the natural step up. If you love it for Claret linings and Golden Roccia, The Row will feel too restrained.

Mansur Gavriel alternative

The Juno Tote in Black is soft Italian lambskin, 37 x 33.5 x 16 cm, and takes up to a 16-inch laptop for $1,270. It has the same unfussy, slouchy character at a fraction of the spend.

Khaite: New York polish

Khaite is a New York label founded in 2016 by Catherine Holstein. Like Mansur Gavriel it comes from New York, and its accessories share a taste for good leather in unshowy shapes. The difference is weight: Khaite is a ready-to-wear house first, and its bags are priced to match.

Mansur Gavriel alternative

The Helios in Black is a 35 x 15 x 15 cm barrel bag in soft calf with an Italian suede lining, at $1,350. For a bigger version, the Large Helios takes up to a 13-inch laptop. Our Helios bag guide covers all three sizes.

Toteme: Scandinavian uniform

Toteme was founded in 2014 by Elin Kling and Karl Lindman and works from a Stockholm studio. It is known for uniform-style clothing, and its scarf jacket built much of its following. The bags follow the same logic: plain leather, little decoration.

Mansur Gavriel alternative

The Everyday Zip Tote in Black is pebbled leather, 48 x 28 x 14 cm, unlined, with room for a 16-inch laptop, at $1,270. It is the most Toteme-like piece in the Mansur Gavriel range: black, zipped, practical.

By Far: the playful cousin

By Far was founded in 2016 in Sofia, Bulgaria, by Valentina Ignatova, Denitsa Bumbarova and Sabina Gyosheva. Its name combines the initials of the founders’ sons. It makes ready-to-wear and leather goods, shoes included. Of the six labels here, it is the one that shares Mansur Gavriel’s sense of fun most directly.

Mansur Gavriel alternative

The Mini Candy Bag in Oxblood Croc is croc-stamped cow leather, 24 x 12 x 5.5 cm, at $980. It holds up to an iPhone Pro Max and has the compact, slightly retro feel that By Far fans look for. See the Candy Hobo guide for the full family.

DeMellier: London structure

DeMellier is a London handbag label founded by Mireia Llusia-Lindh. She started the business in 2010 under the name Milli Millu and renamed it DeMellier in 2017. Its bags tend to be more structured than Mansur Gavriel’s, with neat lines that suit an office.

Mansur Gavriel alternative

The Box Sling in Crema is the most structured crossbody in the Mansur Gavriel edit: 19 x 10 x 5 cm in soft calf with a lambskin lining, an adjustable strap and an interior slip pocket, at $980. More options are in our Mansur Gavriel crossbody bags guide and the wider crossbody bags edit.

JW PEI: the vegan route

JW PEI was founded in Los Angeles in 2018 by Yang Pei and Stephanie Li. All of its bags are made without animal leather, using materials such as polyurethane, canvas and fabric made from recycled plastic bottles. It shares Mansur Gavriel’s clean shapes and appetite for colour, at a lower price.

Mansur Gavriel alternative

The Gaia Shoulder Bag in Crema and Ebony is the nearest match in shape and spirit: a slim zip shoulder bag, 24 x 14 x 4 cm, at $760. It is Italian spazzolato leather, so it is not a vegan swap. Shoppers who want leather will find it the natural step up; shoppers who do not should stay with JW PEI. Read the Gaia bag guide for sizes.

Which brand should you choose?

By what you need

• The quietest look, budget no object: The Row.
• New York polish with ready-to-wear to match: Khaite.
• Black, practical, Scandinavian: Toteme.
• Fun shapes, matching shoes: By Far.
• Structured office bag: DeMellier.
• Vegan materials: JW PEI.
• Clean shapes plus real colour, made in Italy: Mansur Gavriel.

For autumn winter 2026/27, Mansur Gavriel’s colour story leans into Chocolate Suede, Claret and Seaweed, which is a fair test of how much colour you really want. If those shades appeal, stay with the label. If they do not, The Row and Toteme are the safer bets. To weigh the spend itself, read is Mansur Gavriel worth it.

Editor’s note: the label I reach for when a client wants The Row’s restraint with a little more warmth is Mansur Gavriel.
