The philosophy of Toteme fashion, founded by Elin Kling and Karl Lindman, is an homage to clarity and to a design that seems destined to endure. It’s the idea of a modern uniform composed of carefully curated signature pieces, accompanying women through every moment of life. This Scandinavian aesthetic manifests in every fiber of the collections, with jackets and coats at their heart.
The iconic Scarf Jacket – a masterpiece of form and function – is emblematic of this approach. But the vision goes further: from the perfectly tailored blazer that unites structure and ease, to the flowing Toteme trench coat that moves with you – the collections are an ode to permanence. The warming Toteme wool jackets, crafted from a luxurious wool-cashmere blend, make each piece a statement of "quiet luxury."
who is behind toteme and how do they shape the jacket collections?
Behind Toteme’s minimalist elegance are founders Elin Kling and Karl Lindman. Particularly Elin Kling – a Swedish fashion journalist and influencer – has significantly shaped the brand’s design philosophy with her personal aesthetic and deep understanding of timeless fashion. Her influence on the jacket collections is unmistakable: she designs pieces that go beyond fleeting trends, serving as modern uniforms – versatile, durable, and imbued with a clear Scandinavian aesthetic. Her vision comes to life in the brand’s signature silhouettes, premium materials, and a functional yet luxurious appeal that captures the essence of "quiet luxury."
what is special about the toteme scarf jacket?
The magic of the Toteme Scarf Jacket lies in its ingenious simplicity and resulting versatility. It’s more than just a jacket – it’s a sculptural statement. Its hallmark is the seamlessly integrated scarf, flowing from the collar and offering countless styling possibilities – whether casually draped over the shoulder or wrapped snugly around the neck. Crafted from high-quality materials like a luxurious wool-cashmere blend, it embodies the brand’s essence: timeless design that effortlessly merges function and distinctive silhouette, making it a true investment piece.
how do toteme jackets fit?
The fit of Toteme jackets is a key part of their design DNA, often characterized by a signature oversized silhouette. This intentional spaciousness aims to create an aura of relaxed elegance and comfort. We recommend choosing your usual size for the look intended by the brand. However, if you prefer a more classic, close-to-the-body fit, you might consider sizing down. This generous cut is especially noticeable in models like the Car Coat or the Scarf Jacket. Our Size & Fit Guide will help you make the perfect choice.
are toteme jackets of good quality?
Absolutely. Toteme is committed to creating long-lasting pieces, not fast fashion. The quality is reflected in the careful selection of premium materials, such as fine wool and cashmere blends, and impeccable craftsmanship designed for durability. Every seam, every detail is considered to ensure that your jacket maintains its shape and beauty for years to come. A Toteme jacket is not just a garment – it’s a true investment piece whose value and relevance extend beyond seasons, embodying the philosophy of "quiet luxury."
how do I care for my toteme wool jacket?
To preserve the beauty and quality of your Toteme wool jacket over time, we recommend careful maintenance. Generally, professional dry cleaning is the safest method to protect the structure and delicate fibers of the wool-cashmere blends. For home care, less is often more: air your jacket regularly outdoors to freshen it up. Small stains can be gently removed with a soft brush. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can cause the material to felt and alter the fit.
