I'm an Editor With Classic Taste—These Toteme Pieces Will Never Lose Their Appeal
These timeless pieces from Toteme are quality investments that will serve your wardrobe well for years to come, from boots to coats to bags.
There isn’t a fashion person we know who didn't purchase or want a piece of Toteme's magic in their wardrobe this year. It was hard to avoid seeing the Stockholm-based brand all over our feeds—everyone from our favourite influencers to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (a long-time fan) and Katie Holmes has been seen sporting the brand of late. Undoubtedly, the minimalist label for a few years now, it’s easy to see why. Our approach to dressing has definitely shifted towards classic basics and seasonal staples more than ever before. Probably because people are making considered purchases with sustainability and longevity in mind, and that’s exactly what Toteme does best.

Founded by fashion blogger Elin Kling in 2014, the brand creates classic staples that have a clear, identifiable edge, from denim and wear-forever outerwear to boots and even leggings. The Toteme colour palette is neutral, mixing camel, chocolate, black, cream and grey, but the real focus is on the silhouettes. Perhaps the key to its popularity, the shapes of all the pieces play gently with proportion, so they’re wearable but instantly have that expensive-looking edge.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley regularly wears separates from the brand.
Of course, we can’t talk about Toteme now without discussing its iconic pieces like that striped jumper or scarf coat, even the stunning T-Lock bag that fashion people and celebs alike love so much. These are all excellent examples of how the brand can take a simple classic and make it more covetable than anyone else. Unlike other cult designer buys of the past, however, Toteme's "it" buys are timeless pieces that can be worn forever rather than pushed to the back of your shelf when the trend passes.
While Toteme has become a big style player over the past few years, its popularity shows no signs of slowing down in 2025. If anything, the more new-in greatness we see, the more we want it. Keep scrolling if you need proof.
