Looking for cheaper alternatives to Caro Chia

I've completely fallen in love with Caro Chia's designs, but unfortunately they're far outside my budget. The clothes feel romantic, slightly gothic, artistic, feminine, and a bit undone. Lots of draping, asymmetry, layering, distressed details, lace, sheer fabrics, deconstructed silhouettes, and that "beautiful ruin" aesthetic.

Some other designers whose work gives me a similar feeling are Ann Demeulemeester, Rodarte, Simone Rocha, Maison Margiela Artisanal, and vintage Sarah Pacini.

The problem is that whenever I search for alternatives, I mostly find:

• generic boho brands
• fast fashion copies
• "dark academia" recommendations
• festival wear
• obvious Shein/Temu dupes

I'm looking for brands, independent designers, second-hand labels, Etsy shops, vintage lines, or even obscure international brands that capture a similar mood but at a lower price point.

My budget is roughly:

• $30–80 for tops
• $50–150 for dresses, skirts, and outerwear
• open to buying second-hand

I'm located in Europe, but I'm happy to buy from sellers that ship internationally.

If anyone here loves Caro Chia and has discovered hidden gems with a similar aesthetic, I'd love to hear your recommendations.

Thank you! 🖤
