Coogi
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 expensive cost and 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 by rappers The Notorious B.I.G., Riff Raff (rapper), OJ da Juiceman wore it, therefore getting known as “cool gangster/coogi” In addition to clothing, the company’s 1992 international trademark filing registered the brand for cosmetics and toiletries, leather, furniture, textiles, and toys.
