Calf skin is a natural leather made from the hide of young cattle. It has a fine, smooth grain and a soft, supple handle, with a tighter grain structure than adult cowhide. Its combination of softness, durability and refined appearance makes it particularly suited to luxury footwear, handbags and small leather goods.

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.
