K.L.G. WHITE is a diffusion line launched by KIDS LOVE GAITE as its second line. It began in the Fall/Winter 2022 season. While carrying forward the brand’s technical foundations, such as its lasts and Goodyear welt construction, it offers products designed for everyday use by simplifying the designs and adjusting the balance of materials and specifications. At launch, it collaborated with JOURNAL STANDARD, and it has since been developed in earnest as a second line.
