The TOTEME 2024 autumn and winter series shows unique lines, cuts and shapes, with the tapered silhouette as the core of inspiration, and presents excellent quality through luxurious fabrics. Design inspiration incorporates the essence of the Swedish pursuit of ultimate touch, cleverly blending shearling, cashmere and complex crushed silk, giving the entire collection a bold and personal layer. Sheer knitwear and slender dresses with clean lines complement androgynous designs, creating a gentle yet determined vibe. The use of monochromatic tones enhances the rigor of the overall design, while carefully selected accessories inject a refined brilliance into the entire collection. TOTEME’s 2024 autumn and winter series adheres to the brand’s core principles and emphasizes the creation of cross-seasonal items, focusing on complementing the wardrobe rather than completely subverting it.
“TOTEME’s 2024 autumn and winter series focuses on tapered silhouettes. The power emanating from the shoulders gradually converges to the ankles, extending to the toes with sharp lines. In order to adapt to real-life scenarios, this series has been carefully selected, deeply exploring and strengthening TOTEME design features. The result is a fusion of multiple styles to create a perfect combination of refined shapes.”
– Elin Kling, Co-Founder and Creative Director of TOTEME

Fabric highlights
Sharp, structured fabrics such as lustrous leathers and heavy wools contrast with soft, plush textures including lambswool, cashmere, boucle wool and feather-light shredded silk. Several pieces throughout the collection are reimagined in varying thicknesses, from classic wool and cashmere knits to lightweight merino wool. The fresh feel continues in sheer layers of viscose silk and modern organza. Adhering to TOTEME’s consistent emphasis on high-quality, low-carbon materials, this series uses recycled wool, recycled cashmere, wool certified by the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS), and organic cotton.
Handbags refreshed
TOTEME’s 2024 autumn and winter series launches two new bag styles: an elegant daily handbag equipped with a delicate belt, uniquely designed to tighten on both sides to create elegant pleats and decorated with metal buckles; the other is TOTEME T- A new miniature version of the Flap bag, perfectly proportioned with sharp top handles. TOTEME’s iconic T-Lock clutch and handle have been subtly reimagined with tactile lambswool accents.
shoe design
In the 2024 autumn and winter series, shoe design has become the finishing touch of every look. A sharp toe box lengthens the overall silhouette, distinguished by elegant slim-strap pumps with a gentle, tapered and gently sculpted wedge heel; and wide-leg boots reinterpreted, also with a wedge heel, for a new look.
Jewelry Design
Continuing the jewelry series launched by TOTEME in November 2023, this series features sculptural designs inspired by the curved patterns of knitted clothing that wrap around the body. Choker necklaces and gold and copper-plated pocket bracelets display elegant spiral patterns like vines.
TOTEME’s 2024 autumn and winter series will debut at a private fashion show in Paris on January 22, 2024. It is expected to be officially launched on toteme-studio.com and designated retailers in August 2024.
