From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coogi is a fashion label known for its colorful knitwear.
[1]. Founded in 1969 as Cuggi in
Toorak, Melbourne, Australia, the label was renamed in 1987 to sound more like an indigenous Australian name
[2].
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.
[3] In addition to clothing, the company's 1992 international trademark filing registered the brand for cosmetics and toiletries, leather, furniture, textiles, and toys.

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

Under it's new ownership, the label has taken a significantly more urban direction. Coogi now produces a wide range of urban t-shirts, jeans and jackets in addition to their trademark knitwear.
