KHAITE
KHAITE is a New York womenswear and accessories label founded in 2016 by creative director Catherine Holstein, who combines American sportswear structure with European sensuality: cashmere knits and bralettes, high-waisted denim, sharp tailoring, leather outerwear and slouchy leather handbags. Growth equity firm Stripes took a majority stake in March 2023, reported at about $150 million for roughly 80 percent, funding expansion beyond the first Mercer Street store to Madison Avenue, Dallas and Costa Mesa. Annual sales have passed $100 million.

Does KHAITE run big or small?
KHAITE fits slightly large. Take your usual size for a true KHAITE silhouette, but consider sizing down one in oversized shirting, blazers and leather outerwear if you don't want the intentionally slouchy volume. Most shoppers report that KHAITE is cut generously and intentionally oversized across shirting, tailoring and outerwear, while knits and denim sit closer to true to size, so the label reads slightly large overall.
