Vintage Knitwear Coogi 3d

The vintage Coogi sweater is a cultural icon with a story that began in Australia in 1969. The brand, originally named Cuggi, became renowned for its intricate, three-dimensional knit patterns and vibrant color palettes. However, its rise to international fame in the 1990s is inextricably linked to hip-hop culture, particularly with the rapper The Notorious B.I.G., who famously wore and name-dropped Coogi in his songs. This propelled the sweaters from being a high-end tourist souvenir to a symbol of luxury, style, and success within the hip-hop community. The sweaters’ unique artistry, which was even honored by being inducted into the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, continues to make vintage Coogi a highly sought-after and influential piece of fashion history.
