The short answer is YES, absolutely! And I’m not talking about, like, Shein knock-offs. I mean, you can find something that looks pretty similar, but the feel, the *quality*? Forget about it. We’re talking about finding that understated elegance, that “I’m rich but I don’t need to scream about it” look, without needing a second mortgage.
First things first, Loro Piana is basically Hermes but without the… you know, the big “H” buckle and the celebrity endorsements. They’re all about that old money aesthetic. So, when we’re searching for similar brands, we need to look for brands that focus on quality materials and simple, classic designs. Think less logos, more… texture.
I stumbled across a few recommendations in my deep dive (aka, late-night scrolling fueled by caffeine). There’s that Norwegian brand, Cavour. Apparently, they actually *use* Loro Piana fabric! The crazy part is, they sell their clothes at a fraction of the price. I’m not sure how they do it, but I’m not complaining. I wonder, are they cutting corners somewhere? Probably not, but it’s worth noting.
Then there’s the whole “Succession” inspo thing. I saw a thread talking about brands that capture that vibe. It’s not just about clothes, it’s about a whole lifestyle, am I right? I can’t recall what brands the thread was mentioning, but I’m sure a quick search would do the trick.
And hey, let’s not forget about the *feeling* of luxury. Price is important, obviously, but you’ve got to find pieces that feel good on your skin, that you actually want to wear. And that’s where personal preference comes in. Maybe you love a good Scandinavian minimalist vibe? There are a ton of brands that nail that look – clean lines, muted colors, high-quality fabrics. Some of them might even be using Loro Piana fabric without you even knowing it! (Probably not, but it’s a nice thought.)
Oh, and speaking of money… Loro Piana’s shoes, especially their loafers, are just beautiful, but we’re talking like, a cool $625 to start! That’s insane. So, when looking for alternatives, pay attention to the craftsmanship. Look for real leather, good stitching, and a classic design.
