KHAITE

KHAITE is a collection of womenswear and accessories that finds confidence in contrast: of masculine and feminine, strength and softness, structure and fluidity, classic and modern. Designed to be cherished, each piece proposes a fresh balance of opposing elements while embodying a signature sensuality and ease.

Founded in 2016 by creative director Catherine Holstein and based in New York, KHAITE evolves with each new season, building upon a foundation of robust yet polished items distinguished by exceptional materials and subtle yet striking details. The collection (pronounced “Kate”) takes its name from the Greek word (χαίτη) meaning “long, flowing hair.”

Renowned for creating what Vogue describes as “clothes women truly want to wear,” including “jeans that won’t go out of style” (Wall Street Journal), KHAITE expanded into accessories with Luggage—a range of handbags inspired by the power of travel to transform and enrich the lives of women—and footwear. These two categories were introduced with the Fall/Winter 2019 collection, which marked KHAITE’s runway debut and earned Holstein a nomination for Emerging Designer of the Year from the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
