Suede is produced from the underside of animal hide, giving it a soft, velvety surface. It is lighter and more flexible than full-grain leather while retaining many of its durable qualities.

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.
