Introducing House of Dagmar: Scandinavian Minimalism Meets Modern Femininity
A new era of understated luxury has arrived at Shop Bessette with House of Dagmar — the Swedish brand redefining what it means to dress with intention. Known for its clean lines, sculptural silhouettes and elevated essentials, Dagmar delivers a wardrobe that feels both refined and wearable.
Rooted in Scandinavian design, each piece balances structure with softness, creating that effortlessly polished look the “Stockholm girl” is known for.
The Story Behind House of Dagmar
Founded in Stockholm in 2005 by three sisters — Karin Söderlind, Kristina Tjäder and Sofia Wallenstam, House of Dagmar was built on a deeply personal legacy. The brand is named after their grandmother, Dagmar, a tailor whose craftsmanship and strong sense of style continue to inspire every collection.
From the beginning, the vision was clear: to create timeless, high-quality pieces that feel as relevant now as they will years from today. That philosophy has shaped the brand into one of Sweden’s most respected names in fashion -defined by minimalism, femininity and longevity.

Sculpted Tube Tops & Dresses
A signature of recent collections, Dagmar’s sculpted silhouettes bring a modern, feminine edge to minimal dressing. Think clean lines, structured shapes and subtle statement detailing that elevate even the simplest outfit.
Sculpted Tube Tops – crafted in structured, stretch-infused fabrics that contour and hold the body, these pieces are designed to create a clean, sculptural line. Often featuring a bandeau neckline with subtle internal support, they feel secure yet minimal, with a smooth, almost bonded finish that enhances their architectural shape. The result is a sharply defined silhouette that pairs effortlessly with relaxed tailoring or denim for contrast.
Sculpted Dresses – cut from the same body-contouring fabrics, these dresses skim and shape in all the right places while maintaining a refined, minimal aesthetic. Expect strapless, midi lengths, and precise seam placement that enhances the natural form. The material offers structure without stiffness, allowing the dress to move fluidly while still holding its sculpted shape, ideal for transitioning from day to evening with ease.

Elevated Tailoring: The Blazers
Tailoring is at the heart of House of Dagmar, and their blazers are a perfect example of Scandi sophistication. Designed with clean cuts and subtle structure, they bring polish without feeling overly formal. Sharp yet wearable, ideal for layering over denim, dresses or matching trousers. A true wardrobe staple that works across seasons.
Classic Pinstripe Blazer – A refined take on traditional tailoring, this blazer is cut from a structured suiting fabric with a subtle pinstripe running throughout, giving it that timeless, menswear-inspired feel. The silhouette is clean and slightly elongated, with sharp shoulders, a defined lapel and a fluid drape that softens the structure. Lightweight yet polished, it layers effortlessly over everything from denim to matching trousers, bringing an instant sense of sophistication.
DB Brushed Jacket – A softer, more textural approach to outerwear, this piece is crafted from a brushed wool-blend fabric that feels warm and tactile with a slightly fuzzy finish. The double-breasted front adds structure, while the relaxed cut keeps it modern and wearable. With its clean lines and cosy hand-feel, it strikes the perfect balance between tailored and laid-back — ideal for layering through the colder months.
Knitwear: Where the Brand Began
Knitwear has always been central to House of Dagmar’s identity, forming the foundation of the brand from its earliest collections.
Merino Rib Cardigan – Crafted from fine merino wool, this piece offers a soft, lightweight feel with natural breathability. The ribbed knit construction creates a close, flattering fit that gently contours the body, while adding subtle texture and structure. Finished with a clean button front and minimal detailing, it’s an elevated essential that works layered or worn alone for a more refined, pared-back look.
Faded Cable Knit Jumper – A modern take on a classic knit in the colour of the season, Butter yellow. This jumper is designed with a traditional cable pattern softened by a washed, slightly faded finish. The yarn has a cosy, mid-weight feel, giving warmth without bulk, while the relaxed silhouette keeps it effortlessly wearable. It’s the kind of piece that adds depth and texture to everyday outfits, pairing easily with denim or layered over tailoring for contrast.
Two-Tone Statements: The Jacket & Coat
For a more directional take on minimalism, Dagmar’s two-tone outerwear offers a subtle statement while staying true to the brand’s clean aesthetic.
Two-Tone Jacket – A modern layering piece that adds contrast and interest without overpowering an outfit.
Two-Tone Coat – a standout investment piece, combining classic structure with contemporary colour blocking for a look that feels both timeless and fresh.
These styles are perfect examples of how Dagmar pushes minimalism forward — adding just enough detail to make an impact.
