KHAITE, a brainchild of Catherine Holstein, emerged in the fashion scene in 2016 with a distinct aesthetic philosophy rooted in contrasting elements—masculine and feminine, strength and softness, structure and fluidity. Based in New York, the brand quickly found its footing in the fashion industry, gaining initial recognition for its womenswear. The brand's profile soared in 2019 when Katie Holmes was spotted in a Khaite cashmere ensemble, making it a go-to label among fashion enthusiasts.

The handbag collection of KHAITE mirrors the brand's overall ethos of blending elegance with functionality. Among the notable designs are the Lotus Bag, Beatrice Bag, Olivia Bag, and Lilith Bag, each showcasing a unique blend of minimalist and sculptural aesthetics. The Lotus Bag, known for its scarf-inspired design, and the Beatrice Bag with its knotted handle reflect a blend of elegance and practical utility. The Olivia Bag, debuting with a sustainably harvested raffia design, and the Lilith Bag's evening versions emphasize the brand’s venture into luxury aesthetics with a touch of avant-garde.

KHAITE's journey from its inception to becoming a recognized label has been significantly marked by celebrity endorsements. Stars like Hailey Bieber and Meghan Markle have been spotted donning KHAITE's apparel, with the brand’s handbags and other accessories also finding favor among the elite. The celebrity endorsements alongside coverage from reputable fashion publications have played a pivotal role in bolstering the brand's image and expanding its clientele.

With a promising trajectory, KHAITE continues to evolve, marking its presence with every new collection. The brand has also ventured into collaborations, like the exclusive accessories collection with NET-A-PORTER in 2019. As KHAITE cements its place in the fashion realm, the handbag collection, in particular, reflects Catherine Holstein’s continuous endeavor to create 'cherished items', merging everyday functionality with a luxurious appeal.
