Khaite Presents Its New Resort 2026 Collection
Luxferity, 03.06.2025
Propelled by a rebalancing of dark and light, raw and refined, feminine and masculine, Resort 2026 applauds idiosyncrasy. The collection unfolds through playful particularities of form, color, pattern, and texture in pieces that embody or invite juxtaposition, embracing duality and layering.
Rubis Big Bang Handbag
Founder and Creative Director Catherine Holstein, a child of grunge who came of age in the 1990s, looked to the decade’s wildly diverse style, shaped by subcultures that allowed minimalist, grunge, and bohemian impulses not only to co-exist but also to flourish. For KHAITE, complexity is a virtue.
Space Big Bang Handbag
Multifaceted outerwear sets the tone, heightened by exquisite materials such as haircalf—with or without zebra stripes. A strong-shouldered coat of plongé leather defies gravity, floating away from the body as it reveals a cape-like, high-low hem, while the classic trench is relaxed by a dropped waist or cropped deconstruction. Stand-collar cocoon jackets are rounded out by curved sleeves.
Bubble Gum Big Bang Handbag
Dresses, tops, and skirts embrace the flounce through gathering, integrated scarves, and body-skimming, bias-cut fluidity, and provoke with doubled plackets, raw edges, and succinct asymmetry. Pants take cues from denim in more relaxed and slouchy silhouettes, including so shapes detailed by pintucking. Denim defines new directions, led by the low-rise Karo jean, designed to sit low on the hip, and the vivid vintage Lykens wash, a feat of hand-processing that takes 14 to 16 hours per pair. Japanese silks set a new course for jersey, elevating t-shirt dressing through alluring textures that get better with age.
Blue Sky Big Bang Handbag
Burnished hues of leopard-spotted lapin, handdistressed brown lambskin, toffee suede, and sepia-toned wool-cashmere shirting glow through a palette grounded by timeless neutrals. Placed floral prints cascade across skirts and down dresses and shirts, while a full spectrum of color blooms on sheer organza and chiffon in all-over florals.
Tweety Big Bang Handbag
Knitwear is nuanced and focused, with a sculpted quality that accentuates the tactility and versatility of streamlined wardrobe elements. Travel-ready foundations in fine silk are invigorated by a low-slung, billowing pant shaped by knitted pleats and free of central seaming for ultimate comfort. Merino wool shows its range in fluid, floor-dusting cardigans, dresses flared by integral godets, and dense, milano-stitched jackets accented by suede buttons. Luscious cashmere is further so ened by voluminous shapes, from an elongated pullover shadowed by a ribbed hem to collared jackets imbued with the throw-on ease of a favorite cardigan. Hand-knitting continues to push the boundaries of craft, as in a dress of textured stripes: a marled gradient made possible by four different yarns and the skill of New York artisans.
Daktari Big Bang Handbag
Crafted in Italy, footwear aligns finely honed silhouettes with sublime materials, making shape inextricable from surface. A robust selection of boots builds upon KHAITE’s distinctive vocabulary, introducing a sculptural update to the stiletto heel using the brand’s Empire hardware, a sharpened perspective on Western- stitched cowboy classics, and pull-up leather that brings new dimension to styles rooted in precision. Pumps take on a playful edge, veiling the foot in breathable power mesh or topping it with a functional pocket, while flats and sandals balance dynamic and decisive lines with exceptional so ness and flexibility.
Midnight Blue Premier Handbag
Leathergoods are animated by unexpected material combinations, novel techniques, and fresh colors. The structured Blake bag—a compact, flap-front cross-body that opens to reveal a trio of spacious compartments introduced in Fall 2025—arrives as an ideal canvas for tone and texture, from zebra-striped haircalf to gleaming box calfskin. The elongated east-west Kye silhouette is newly faceted by patchwork panels of contrasting materials, and velvety suede versions of the Olivia and Elena are illuminated by the brand’s signature studs. Petite proportions extend the possibilities for cherished shapes, with the Lotus family adding “mini” sizing to the category’s offering.
Fuschia Premier Handbag
Signature forms also evolve into new realms of accessories. The brand’s Empire hardware shines on as architectural earrings, cuff bracelets, and the centerpiece of a sleek belt framed by expertly painted edges in lieu of topstitching. The fluid swoop of the Lotus tote is reimagined in precious metals, its scarf-like drape preserved in lively and lightweight adornments for ears, neck, and wrist.
