The Totême Edit: What to Buy First
[coveti_shop_v2]
The current Totême edit at Luxury Handbags is a study in how little a wardrobe needs when every piece is right. This is the season to buy the foundations: the coat, the denim, the knit, and the scarf that ties them together. Here is what our editor is reaching for.
Reviewed by: Luxury Handbags Editorial Styling Team. Every guide is vetted for luxury appropriateness, fabric integrity, and 2026 dress-code compliance.
The coat, first
Outerwear is where Totême earns its reputation, and the edit leads with it. The wool-cashmere coat and the cotton trench both carry the house A-line and its quiet T-stitch, in camel, clay, and black. One of these worn over everything is the fastest way into the Totême look. Browse the full coat edit.
Denim that does the everyday
The Original denim is the piece the brand is quietly famous for, cut straight and clean in washed blue and black. Sold by inch waist, it is the everyday half of the Totême uniform. Pair it with a knit and a flat shoe and the look builds itself. See the trousers and denim.
Knitwear to layer
The knitwear runs from fine wool crews to boxy alpaca and cashmere, in ecru, camel, charcoal, and black. These are the layering pieces that sit under the coat and over the denim, the connective tissue of the whole wardrobe. Explore the knitwear edit.
The finishing scarf
No Totême edit is complete without the monogram silk scarf. It is the single flourish in a pared-back wardrobe, knotted at the neck and tied to the bag, and the detail that makes an outfit read as Totême at a glance.
Dresses and tailoring for the diary
For the days that ask for more, the edit carries clean column dresses and precise tailoring that take an evening with a heel. The same restraint that works by day reads quietly striking after dark. Look through the designer dresses.
