About the brand

Founded in 2016 by creative director Catherine Holstein, KHAITE is a New York-based luxury women's ready-to-wear and accessories brand that has redefined modern American sportswear. The brand name, pronounced "Kate," draws inspiration from Holstein's nickname and the Greek word χαίτη, meaning "long flowing hair." KHAITE gained widespread recognition after Katie Holmes was photographed wearing their iconic cashmere twin set, cementing the brand's reputation for creating the perfect wardrobe essentials. KHAITE's design philosophy centers on finding confidence in contrast, masterfully balancing opposing elements—masculine and feminine, strength and softness, structure and fluidity. Each piece embodies the brand's signature sensuality and ease while being distinguished by exceptional materials, exquisite craftsmanship, and subtle yet striking details. The brand offers a fresh perspective on classic silhouettes, creating practically perfect wardrobe necessities that serve as the ultimate hero pieces for the modern woman.

What people are saying

Who What Wear

The viral and often sold-out Danielle jeans have gained immense popularity... These jeans live up to the hype due to their fit and the beautiful black button that elevates them.

InStyle

One of its most viral, sought-after pieces? The Danielle Jean is a straight-leg silhouette beloved by trendsetting celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Olivia Culpo.

Harper's Bazaar

Surprisingly spacious, Khaite's Simona bag is an excellent investment if you want something that works both for everyday and into the evening.

Who What Wear

As well as standing the test of time and being certain the knit isn't just a flash-in-the-pan cult piece, there's also the quality to consider. It is made from the finest Mongolian cashmere, specifically chosen for its softness...we've also heard from first-hand reviews that it lasts well with care.

Who What Wear

In just nine years New York label KHAITE has gone from a relatively underground name to one of contemporary fashion's biggest powerhouses, all with the help of some very well-crafted knitwear and unmistakable accessories.

The quality of Khaite bags is amazing. The leather feels so much softer than other bags I own.

ELLE

Her clothes, she told ELLE last year, “are designed to be combined and recombined, yet each is special on its own, because it's been thoroughly considered. It's a very American approach.”

These are definitely investment pieces, and while the quality is excellent, you can find similar styles for much less. If you do splurge, the Danielle style seems to be the most universally flattering.

I suppose what Holstein did do was to create easy, uncomplicated clothes that with her marketing and campaigns gave the illusion of cool — thus, making the brand cool itself. Then, when you, or I, wear her $800 jeans, we feel like we're part of the cool club.

Mar, 2024

I'm sure the Khaite ones, like basically all modern jeans, have some stretch and won't be all that durable and thus not worth the money. They don't have any unique look - the rises, colors, washes, and styles are the same as every other jeans.

May, 2025

The leather was okay, but the stitching was SO uneven. (Perhaps I'm being picky, but at this price point, I would expect the seams to be even.) I was also sad that the bag didn't hold its shape at all...it literally melted onto the table when I put it down.

May, 2025

I just bought a small augustina, and the zipper pull came off on my first try zipping it up! It also just came in a dust bag, not a box...It just wasn't worth it to me after zipper and the so/so quality of leather, so I returned it.
