Totokaelo

Wow. Have you ever found a store where, if you could afford it and if the clothes fit you, you would wear practically everything in it? Seattle's Totokaelo is that store for me! Whoever does their buying is a genius. Yamomoto, Rick Owens, Ann Demeulemeester, Rachel Comey, as well as lower priced lines like Complex Geometries. The clothes are mostly in muted palates, gorgeous fabrics, exquisite drapes. The shoes support the clothes, adding, and never distracting, from the total look.I know Totokaelo's aesthetic is not everyone's cup of tea, but it is mine. These clothes are intelligent, beautiful, and carry a gravitas I find really appealing.My husband commutes to work from the Bay Area to Seattle. The next time I'm up there, I will make a pilgrimage to Totokaelo, boutique Mecca of the NorthWest.
