17.5+ Brands Similar to Zadig & Voltaire for Edgy Parisian Style

Bonjour friends!

I’m so excited to share some of my favorite brands that have a similar vibe to Zadig & Voltaire.

You know how much I love their rock n’ roll chic style – it’s like they took all the best parts of Parisian fashion and gave it a cool, edgy twist.

But their pieces can be a little pricey for my budget.

That’s why I’ve hunted down some great alternatives so we can all get that effortless French look for less!

Last year I found the perfect Zadig & Voltaire dress at a vintage shop here in Paris.

I was so excited to get it for a steal!

But when I brought it home and compared it to the real thing, I realized it was a total fake.

Mon dieu!

I was so embarrassed.

Now I inspect labels extra carefully before buying anything secondhand.

Fool me once…

The good news is, you don’t need to buy the real Zadig & Voltaire to get their signature look.

Keep reading and I’ll share my favorite
