Keith Salgado - CEO

KakeReady was born from passion, perseverance, and a vision for redefining luxury—layer by layer. In 2022, I launched my first collection, SZN1, featuring three signature hoodies. Not knowing what to expect, I rented a venue in Jersey, and despite the heavy rain, my collection sold out in under an hour. A few months later, I took the leap and launched my first website—selling out once again in just two days.

In 2023, I expanded into men’s and women’s collections, introducing statement pieces like the Neapolitan goose down jacket, a suede leather jacket, the signature KR dress, and three original handbag designs—sketched during my shifts at a restaurant while funding this dream. That same year, I curated my own sold-out fashion show, KakeWalk, with 768 guests in attendance. A single post from that night led to an invitation to walk at Art Basel, where—on my first year—I was honored with the Designer of the Year award.

KakeReady exists because of faith, resilience, and the unwavering support of my family, business partners, and, most importantly, you. Welcome to a brand where luxury isn’t just worn—it’s experienced.

Luxury, layer by layer
