Lambswool is wool obtained from a young sheep's first shearing, producing fine, soft fibres with a naturally springy handle. It is warm and breathable and is commonly used for knitwear, coats and other cold-weather garments.

Cable knit is a knitted construction featuring raised, twisted or braided motifs created by crossing stitches. The cables form a distinctly three-dimensional surface and are usually set against a flatter knitted background. It is particularly common in substantial sweaters and traditional knitwear.

Founded in New York in 2016 by creative director Catherine Holstein, KHAITE is known for polished womenswear that combines traditionally masculine and feminine elements. The brand places particular emphasis on exceptional materials, craftsmanship and subtle but distinctive details, balancing structured pieces with softer, more sensual silhouettes.
