I had the opportunity to sit and talk with Kharis Collins CEO of Khavy Official Luxury Head Accessory. Khavy has bonnets and durags. He believed in turning a culture staple into a fashion moment! 

What made you want to create a luxury bonnet & durag line?

Khavy’ was born during the pandemic, and I’ll never forget the day it came to me. I was lying on a bed in Mississippi, staring at the ceiling, when God placed the vision in my heart and mind. I knew at that moment that this would serve a greater purpose.-K.H.A.R.I.S. CEO and Founder

Having struggled with Epilepsy for 16 years, I faced significant challenges finding comfortable headwear. Many store-bought durags caused severe migraines and triggered seizures, making it nearly impossible to wear them for long periods. This personal struggle sparked the idea to create something that not only offered comfort to me but to others facing similar challenges.

Khavy’ was created with the intent to provide a solution—a luxury bonnet and durag line designed for both comfort and style, while being mindful of those with specific health needs. It’s a blend of purpose and passion, crafted to make a difference in the lives of those who deserve to feel good and be comfortable at the same time.

What is the meaning behind Khavy?

The name Khavy’ is an acronym that stands for Keeping Heads Amplified and Versatile for Your Pleasure. This embodies the core principles behind the brand, which revolves around three key aspects: Haircare, Health, and Beauty. Our goal is to create products that not only enhance the health of your hair but also provide comfort and style, all while promoting well-being and confidence.

Where do you see Khavy in 5 years?

In five years, I see Khavy’ expanding far beyond just a fashion brand—it will be a culture. I envision people wearing it not only on red carpets but also in their everyday lives, from urban neighborhoods to global cities. Khavy’ will become a worldwide phenomenon, continually evolving as we move through time, adapting to new trends while staying true to the core values of comfort, style, and purpose.

What sets you apart from beauty store brands?

Khavy’ stands apart from other beauty store brands because our name and what it represents speaks for itself. From the very beginning, we set a high standard, starting with sophisticated packaging that reflects the luxury of our brand. We don’t just create products that look good; we create products that feel good. Our customers can truly feel the difference in the quality of the fabric, both on and off the head. The material we use is pure, designed to elevate your hair care experience and enhance your hair texture.

What truly sets Khavy’ apart, however, is our commitment to using hair care as a platform to highlight health in its entirety. We aim to raise awareness and enlighten lives by supporting organizations dedicated to health and well-being. We are the first headwear brand to make this shift, integrating fashion, comfort, and health in a way that makes a positive impact.

Each headpiece is uniquely labeled with the Khavy’ brand and a handwritten signature, underscoring the personal touch and attention to detail that sets us apart. We are proud to be a brand that is not only versatile but also dedicated to supporting causes that improve lives and create lasting change. The other aspect that sets us apart is cost because we are intentional about creating an experience that costs more than a store bought brand.

What collections do you offer?

At Khavy’, we offer several exclusive collections, each thoughtfully named to reflect the unique personality and needs of our clients. Our collections are designed with a focus on versatility, offering pieces that cater to a variety of occasions and lifestyles.
