40 highstreet hero buys that nail the Toteme and Khaite mood
With luxury fashion, what you're often paying for goes beyond the superficial eye. The subtle edge, impeccable tailoring, the way a fabric drapes–it's the small elevated details that give it the edge and make the price tag worth it. Such brands that lend this appeal include Toteme and Khaite, which provide truly timeless pieces worn and loved by the style set. The Stockholm-based and New York-based brands deliver ultra-chic wardrobe items that are aspirational and form the foundations of a modern wardrobe.

Toteme, founded by Elin Kling, is the epitome of Scandinavian minimalism refined for the global modern woman. With a clean, architectural silhouette and a neutral palette that feels anything but boring, Toteme leans into a kind of cool restraint. Think: tailored wool coats, asymmetric knits, and silk separates that glide effortlessly from day to night.

Meanwhile, New York-based Khaite, helmed by Catherine Holstein, brings an edgier energy to modern classics. With sculptural denim, buttery leather, and sleek knitwear, Khaite reinterprets the classics through a sensual, almost cinematic lens—strong, feminine, and wearable.
Of course, these pieces come with price tags to match their craftsmanship and design pedigree. But if investing in these icons doesn't align with your budget right now and doesn't make financial sense right now, the good news is you can still channel their aesthetic. Your go-to high-street heroes are catching on—delivering budget-friendly structured basics, elevated staples, and sophisticated cuts that echo the same aesthetic without the investment-level cost. Because after all, style, at its core, is all about how you wear it and how it makes you feel.

Ena added, 'We look forward to building meaningful connections between MENA-based brands and our internationally celebrated titles.

Built on title such as Cosmopolitan, Harper's Bazaar, Esquire, Men's Health, Women's Health, and Runner's World, Hearst Global Solutions is known for delivering storytelling across lifestyle, fashion, beauty, wellness and food. Through this partnership, agencies and marketers in the MENA region gain streamlined access to brand-safe, premium global platforms, enabling them to scale their campaigns with authenticity, cultural relevance and impact.
