Totême in camel, beige and brown: the neutral wardrobe
After black, the Totême wardrobe is camel: the Signature wool cashmere coat, the cashmere crew, the tan belted suede tote, the bark boots, the espresso and cashew leathers. The house names its browns by the thing they look like, camel, walnut, bark, tobacco, biscuit, chai, cashew, espresso, and Luxury Handbags files all of them as Beige on the colour filter. 205 pieces sit in the family. This page is the warm neutral wardrobe, piece by piece.
Key facts
- 205 pieces in this shade family on Luxury Shoes , $300 to $6,850, median $1,250
- Ready-to-wear first, then the bags, shoes and jewellery in the same shades
- Sizes: UK on the clothing listings, EU 35 to 42 on the shoes
The shades
Camel is the coat and the cashmere; walnut, bark and tobacco are the leathers and the suede; biscuit and chai the pale leathers; cashew and desert the palest; espresso and dark chocolate the near-blacks. All file under Beige on Luxury Handbags so the filter finds them together.
How the house wears it
Camel over black is the classic; tan suede against ecru is the summer; espresso against grey melange is the winter. Two neutrals per outfit, texture between them.
The bag and the shoe
The tan and espresso belted suede totes, the bark T-Lock, the sienna grained-leather top handle, the bark ankle boots and the desert slingbacks are the accessories in the family.

“I love working with shades, exploring how a saturated black creates an impact together with a washed cotton, or putting a crisp fresh white next to something ivory,” Elin Kling told The Telegraph’s Lisa Armstrong in February 2025.
Frequently asked questions
Is camel a Totême colour?
Yes, the second colour after black: the Signature wool cashmere coat and the classic cashmere crew are made in it every year.
Why are the browns filed as Beige?
Luxury Handbags uses fifteen colour facets and files camel, tan and brown under Beige so the filter finds the whole family.
What is bark?
The house’s mid brown, on suede, leather and the ankle boots.
Does camel suit the coat?
The camel coat is the one the house is photographed in most after black; it is the coat to buy second.
How do I care for tan suede?
Brush, protect before the first wear, keep dry; natural suede transfers a little colour when damp, which the brand warns on the page.
Which brown piece first?
The camel cashmere crew, then the tan belted suede tote.
