Personally, I'm not a huge fan of sales shopping. Mainly because I worry about the risk of panic buying items that I don't really need and regretting it later. Not to mention the anxiety-inducing chaos of sales racks when sale shopping IRL. There are, however, a couple of exceptions when discounts make me stop and pay serious attention. The first is when big ticket investment items go on sale, like beautiful wool coats or designer bags that have been on my wish list for a long time, and the second is a Toteme sale.

The Swedish brand is an absolute favourite of mine for elegant wardrobe classics, and over the years I've saved and invested in a number of its beautiful staples that I still wear on regular rotation. Because its pieces are always so season-less, it makes for the ideal brand to shop on sale.
Sadly, a Toteme sale is a very rare occurrence. The brand never seems to take part in big sale moments like Black Friday or Christmas sales, but if you're in the know (which I like to think I am, as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing editor), you can find some of the brand's most iconic buys with pretty hefty discounts. You just need to look in the right places at the right times, which is where I come in. Currently, Mytheresa has a really amazing (and extensive) edit of Toteme pieces on sale, and lots of styles also just landed on The Outnet (always a go-to for fashion people looking to shop designer items for less).
To save you having to scroll through all the unimportant (and sold out) items, I've done the research and compiled an edit below of the best Toteme sale buys that I think make great investments. The best part? They're all under £500, so you can prep your wardrobes for the new season with top-quality pieces for a lot less. You're welcome!
I've worn my Toteme trench for over four years now, and I still adore it.

SHOP MY EDIT OF THE BEST TOTEME SALE BUYS:
A sure fire way to look polished.
Toteme's jeans sizing comes up small, so consider sizing up.
A denim shirt is a non-negotiable for me in my spring wardrobe. I love wearing mine with jeans like this for a double denim look, but it also works as a foil to smart trousers to keep the look feeling fresh.
Simply stunning. Just remember to spray them with suede protector before going out in the rain, and they'll last you for years to come.
An instantly recognisable Toteme piece. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a fan.
This. Whole. Look.
Wrap this around your favourite blazer for an instant update.
The texture of this seemingly simple tank top really elevates it to elegant heights.
This striped knit has become a true classic, perfect in every capsule wardrobe.
I like the idea of styling this with black or cream barrel leg trousers.
Well this is one way to instantly up your spring/summer bag game.
Talk about a perfect basic.
Toteme loafers make for a worthy investment, because they're timeless but still so cool.
A huge saving, and a buy you'll never regret.
This would be stunning for a summer wedding.
Finding such a classic and versatile pair of trousers on sale is incredibly rare.
The beautiful tan suede means these will be wearable all spring and autumn as well as through winter.
£100 for a Toteme dress is almost unheard of. I love how easy and comfy this one looks to throw on in summer.
A "twist" on a classic. I love how this looks styled underneath a black blazer with blue jeans.
I always find cropped trousers are much easier to style with spring and summer shoes.
I just know I would pull these out summer after summer. They look hardwearing too.
Play into the flip-flop trend with these leather thong sandals that are pretty and unique enough to last well after the rubber styles have passed.
I've had Toteme's shirt co-ords on my summer wish list for so many years, I think now is finally the time to invest. They just look so darn chic.
Comfy and elegant, it's a win win.
A perfect travel tote that fits a laptop and much more besides.
Although an all-time wardrobe classic, pinstripe trousers are really having a moment right now.
Ribbed tank dresses are a no-brainer. They work dressed up with a blazer and heels for work or classy evenings out, as well as with flats and a linen shirt thrown over for holidays and weekends.
I already know I would get so much wear out of these.
This would look so graceful styled over a white T-shirt, under a blazer and tucked into a pair of jeans.
Such a polished version of a ballet flat to wear with everything from work outfits to blue jeans.
You can't fault a black bikini, and this one has nice support too.
Don't forget the matching bottoms.
Perfect for spring showers.
