Khaite

About the brand

Khaite is an American fashion brand founded in New York City in 2016. Its creator and creative director is the talented designer Katherine Golsteyn. The brand's name is pronounced "Kate" and comes from the Greek word χαίτη, which means "waving long hair" and also sounds like a shortened name for Katherine.

Khaite offers a wide range of clothing and accessories, from spectacular evening gowns and luxurious cashmere sweaters to jeans and comfortable sportswear. The brand's products are now sold in more than 150 retail stores worldwide, and the Khaite official website delivers to more than 200 countries. The company is headquartered in New York City in the SoHo neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, between Spring and Broome Streets.

Khaite brand DNA

Khaite is a brand that reimagines classic casual womenswear, masterfully blending familiar casual with understated chic. Its models are distinguished by their concise design and calm color palette. The brand's creator Katherine Golsteyn has always loved luxurious things, but she realized that she treats them not as clothes in her closet, but rather as paintings in a gallery. That's why she decided to produce luxury pieces that could be comfortably worn every day, and she succeeded perfectly.

Kathryn says that the impression of a piece is 80% dependent on the quality of the fabric, so she doesn't compromise on that. Premium quality materials - ultra-soft cashmere, lightweight silk and durable denim - ensure that a piece will last well beyond a single season without losing any of its appeal.

The Khaite range includes everything a modern woman could need: outerwear, pants, skirts and shorts, dresses, shirts and tops, T-shirts and shirts, as well as denim, shoes, bags, belts and various accessories (gloves, hats, scarves, sunglasses and jewelry). The brand's peculiarity is the absence of high-heeled shoes, as Golsteyn does not want to sacrifice comfort for ostentatious femininity.

History of the Khaite brand

Khaite brand creator Kathryn Golsteyn's journey in the fashion industry began while studying at Parsons School of Design. Her graduation collection caught the eye of Julie Gilhart, a prominent New York shopper at Barneys. Encouraged by this success, Catherine started her own label called Catherine Holstein and launched her first collection, pieces from which were sold at Barneys, Saks Fifth Avenue, Kirna Zabête, Louis Boston and other stores around the world.

But due to the financial crisis of 2008, the Catherine Holstein label didn't last long. From 2009 to 2014, Catherine continued to develop her talent as a designer, working for well-known companies such as Vera Wang, J.Crew, Gap, and The Elder Statesman.

In 2016, Katherine Golsteyn founded the brand Khaite. The idea didn't come to her by accident at all. Katherine often remarked how difficult it was for her to find things that could be worn often and for long periods of time. Among such things she had a cashmere sweater bought by her sister in Paris in 1998, Levi's jeans and Kelly bag from Hermes, inherited from her mother. It's what the designer calls "timeless fashion."

Backed by entrepreneur Adam Pritzker and stylist Vanessa Traina, Katherine Golsteyn launched her debut collection, Khaite, which consisted of luxurious cashmere sweaters and jeans. Khaite's comfortable and sophisticated clothing was noticed and generated considerable interest, so the company began to expand.

The Khaite brand gradually became more and more famous, but few could have foreseen that it would become so successful. The turning point that dramatically increased the brand's awareness and made it mega-popular was a 2019 paparazzi shot of Katie Holmes catching a cab in Manhattan. That day, the star wore a set from Khaite, consisting of a cashmere cardigan and top, which became iconic and remains popular to this day.

As time went on, Kathryn Golsteyn added more dresses and party dresses to her collections, redefining the notion of sexy in womenswear. And to maximize customer satisfaction, the brand launched its own line of accessories.

In 2022, Katherine Golsteyn was named "Women's Designer of the Year" at the CFDA Fashion Awards. This was another testament to the success of the Khaite brand.

In October 2023, Khaite collaborated with renowned French retailer Bonpoint to launch a limited edition children's wear collection, which also proved to be quite successful.

The brand works closely with its customers and is committed to improving the customer experience, which is why it incorporates the latest technological solutions. For example, in June 2021, Khaite began using BODS, an artificial intelligence-based technology that allows customers to virtually try on clothes.

Despite its youth, the Khaite brand has achieved tremendous success, but there's no doubt that this is just the beginning of a great journey.
