Within the Citizens of Humanity Group, you’ll find Citizens of Humanity and AGOLDE. Two ready-to-wear labels, each of which boasts a uniquely directional voice and clearly carved place in the denim market. We are incredibly proud of each brand’s independence, but even more so of the characteristics that unite them.

Built upon a philosophical foundation of commitment to quality and uncompromising standards, our core values support everything we do. We use only the most innovative fabrics sourced from around the world and facilitate product development in our vertically owned facilities to create denim, knits and outerwear of the highest caliber. We personally and carefully test every fit and fabric, and believe the practicality of a jean is as important as its design.

Companywide, each brand is committed to being thoughtful in the creation of our product and uses advanced methods to reduce our imprint on the environment, including regenerative agriculture, laser technology, ozone machines and high-efficiency wash methods. In short, we invest in the future and look forward to all that is ahead.
