  • Coogi is a fashion label known for its colorful knitwear. Founded in 1969 as Cuggi in Toorak, Melbourne, Australia, the label was renamed in 1987 to sound more like an indigenous Australian name.

    While most famous for its textured knitwear (including many of the sweaters Bill Cosby wore on The Cosby Show) in the 1980s, the brand was popularized in the U.S. as urban hip-hop wear. In addition to clothing, the company's 1992 international trademark filing registered the brand for cosmetics and toiletries, leather, furniture, textiles, and toys.

  • Brand

    The brand struggled after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, and was purchased by a joint U.S venture, Coogi Partners LLC, in 2002.
