TOTEME

TOTEME is a fashion house rooted in Swedish sensibilities, modern aspirations and the notion of style. With an appreciation for women’s many roles and how pieces are worn in practice, we create emblematic designs with an emphasis on materiality and shape. Archetype pieces are examined through a female lens and realized with sumptuous fabrics, rich textures and graphic silhouettes. Representing a direct and decisive way of dressing, the collections are contextualized in curated edits, visuals and spaces.

TOTEME was founded in 2014 by Elin Kling and Karl Lindman. From the studio in Stockholm, we create collections spanning ready-to-wear, shoes, bags, accessories and jewelry. OTEME is a Swedish fashion house founded on the principles of minimalism, long-standing style, meticulous craftsmanship and methodic repetition. We craft modern classics with purpose, occasion and longevity in mind – each piece is made to last and be cherished, each collection seen as an opportunity to build on our existing offering and perfect our styles. We are committed to establishing TOTEME as a brand that inspires customers and brands to make decisions that benefit, as opposed to harm, people, animals and the environment. That is why we look to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and our collaborations with leading industry organizations to inform our environmental, social and governance (ESG) framework and our sustainability pillars: design, planet and community. As part of our ESG framework, we have set ambitious sustainability goals and plan to meet them by staying up-to-date with industry developments, creating targeted key performance indicators (KPIs), policies, audits, training and workshops, improving our accountability and transparency, and partnering with the right suppliers to craft high-quality, lasting pieces in safe and fair conditions.
