Okay, so I’ve been eyeing this Khaite sweater for, like, ever. But the price tag? Ouch. So, I decided to do a deep dive to figure out why this brand is so darn expensive.

My Investigation Begins
First, I hit up their website. I mean, that’s the obvious starting point, right? I scrolled through their collections, looking at all the pretty clothes. And yeah, they’re gorgeous. Simple, elegant, but definitely not your average mall finds.
Then I looked into that famous “made in” label.
Quality Matters
Next, I started digging into the materials they use. I mean, a plain white t-shirt can cost $20 or $200, and it’s usually the fabric that makes the difference.
- Cashmere: Lots of their sweaters are 100% cashmere. And not just any cashmere, but the really good stuff, the kind that feels like butter.
- Fine Cotton: Even their cotton pieces are made with high-quality cotton. It’s like, noticeably softer and drapes better than regular cotton.
- Leather: Their leather jackets and bags? Super supple and clearly high-end.
The “It” Factor
Khaite also put effort to design it, and make people desire it.
My Conclusion
So, after all my “research” (aka online window shopping and reading a bunch of articles), I came to the conclusion that Khaite is expensive for a few key reasons:

- Top-notch materials.
- craftsmanship.
- That cool, minimalist vibe.
Is it worth the splurge? Well, that’s a personal decision. For me, I’m still saving up, but I get why it costs so much. It’s not just a sweater; it’s an investment in quality and style. At least, that’s what I’m telling myself!
