If you’re into quiet luxury, you’ll love Khaite.
Designed in New York and crafted in Italy, Khaite’s handbag collection epitomizes the brand’s elevated aesthetic. Founded in 2016 by CFDA award-winning designer Catherine Holstein, Khaite creates tailored ready-to-wear and luxury handbags with exceptional materials, Italian craftsmanship, and striking details. Khaite is pronounced like the name “Kate.”
Khaite’s Most Popular Bags
The New York-based Khaite offers structural, minimal handbag designs with sumptuous leather. This new cult-favorite brand features structured totes, slim crossbody pouches, box frame bags, and ultra-soft hobo silhouettes. Like other quiet luxury brands, Khaite offers very minimal branding. Khaite’s bags were inspired by early luggage, capable of storing as much as a soft-sided duffle bag. Crafted with ultra-luxe materials, each piece in Khaite’s handbag collections showcases the brand’s commitment to exceptional quality and elegance.
The Khaite Lotus
Inspired by the fluidity of a scarf, the Lotus tote has an open top and a rounded base for stability in a medium size. Khaite offers the Lotus in leather, canvas/leather, and sustainable raffia.
The Khaite Olivia
The Khaite Olivia is a classic slouchy hobo silhouette with a single flat shoulder strap, available in both leather and raffia. The Olivia is made in medium and large size.
The Khaite Amelia
Looking for a new tote? The beautiful Amelia tote features a clean, classic design with rolled top handles and structural, folded leather corners. True to Khaite’s dedication to its quality, the tote is structured enough to stand up on its own and has metal feet on the bottom to protect it from getting dirty.
The Khaite Bobbi
The Bobbi is an envelope-style bag with a stunning circle disc clasp. While Khaite is known for their minimal hardware, the Bobbi is a departure from that ethos and stuns with a large metal circle on the front. The strap on the Bobbi can be removed or tucked in so the bag can be carried either as a clutch or shoulder bag.
The Khaite Elena
Khaite’s Elena bag is one to watch and one to wear. Inspired by the classic ‘90s box bag, the Elena is a studded, sculptural masterpiece featuring metal studs on Nappa leather.
The Khaite Zoe
The unique Zoe tote features a lightweight, open-top patchwork tote in a paneled grid of exquisite textures. Available in a variety of colors, prints, and leathers.
