Khaite Jett D’Orsay Low Pump in Python-Embossed Taupe
The Jett D’Orsay Low Pump in Python-Embossed Taupe is an authentic Khaite shoe in Multicolour, made in Italy. Khaite is the New York label Catherine Holstein founded in 2016, the house behind the cashmere cardigan and the wide-leg jean that made it a quiet-luxury reference. Its footwear follows the same idea. The toe is square, the line is clean and the heel is one you can walk in, and Italian shoemakers cut it in glazed calfskin, suede, haircalf and stretch nappa. Luxury Handbags authenticates every pair before it ships.
A sleek and striking D’Orsay pump refined to the rich texture of python-embossed calfskin and a pointed-toe silhouette. Curvy cutaway construction designed to reveal the arch of the foot and visually elongate the leg. The heel is 4.5 cm, a low walking height. Wear it with a straight-leg jean and a fine knit by day, then let it carry a slip dress at night.

How to Wear the Jett D’Orsay Low Pump in Python-Embossed Taupe
A low pump that earns its place across dinners, gallery evenings and the working week.
- With denim: Khaite built its name on the jean. A straight leg over a low boot, a flat under a cropped leg, and a pump with a slim dark wash for the evening.
- With tailoring: The pointed pumps and the kitten-heel sandals sharpen a wide trouser and a long coat. Keep the bag structured and the palette to one shade.
- With knitwear: A cashmere cardigan, a midi skirt and a knee-high boot is the house’s own autumn uniform. A loafer keeps the same look easy by day.
- For evening: A slip dress and the glazed-calf pump, the leg bare. One earring and nothing at the neck, so the toe and the heel do the work.

Khaite Shoe Size Guide
Khaite footwear is made in Italy and sized on the Italian (EU) scale. The house sells each style from 35 to 42 in half sizes, and Luxury Handbags lists the whole sizes on the EU ladder from 35 EU to 42 EU. The table below is the conversion Khaite publishes on its own size guide. Most styles are true to size. The Ona and Andee boots run large, and the house recommends going down a half size in those two; the Bella boots fit slightly small, and the house suggests a half size up.

About Khaite
Khaite is a New York label founded in 2016 by Catherine Holstein. The name comes from the Greek word for flowing hair. The house reimagines wardrobe essentials with a sensual, architectural edge, and its cashmere knitwear and denim turned it into a quiet-luxury reference point. Holstein was named CFDA American Womenswear Designer of the Year in 2022 and again in 2023, and Katie Holmes, Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber and Beyoncé have all worn the label.
The shoes are made in Italy and carry the same restraint as the clothes. The Marlene pump and its low and ballerina versions sit on a square, flat-stitched toe with gold-toned staple details at the flexible leather outsole. The Colt family runs from a slip-on loafer to a knee-high boot in soft glazed calf. The Clive boots are cut in vacchetta and suede, the Jane flat comes in suede, haircalf and python-embossed calf, and the Sadie multi-strap and Liria ankle-strap sandals share the house’s narrow line. Heel heights run from a flat sole to 10 cm, with most styles between 3.5 cm and 8.5 cm.
“The Jett D’Orsay Low Pump in Python-Embossed Taupe is a Khaite shoe in the truest sense. The line is clean and the heel is one you can actually walk in. Order the EU size you wear in other Italian houses, and take the house’s own fit note above at its word.”

How Khaite Compares
Shoppers cross-shopping the Jett D’Orsay Low Pump in Python-Embossed Taupe typically also consider Totême, Paris Texas, and Amina Muaddi. Totême is the Stockholm answer to the same pared-back wardrobe, with a softer, rounder last. Paris Texas is the one for a Texan boot and a lower everyday heel, and Amina Muaddi for a flared heel and a crystal strap. Khaite is the one to buy for a square toe on a glazed-calf pump, and for a knee-high boot that sits flat under a wide jean.
