Agolde
AGOLDE is the Los Angeles denim label that redefined what premium jeans could look like — vintage-inspired silhouettes reimagined with modern proportions, exceptional wash quality, and a fit that feels genuinely effortless. At Kiti we stock a curated edit of AGOLDE's most directional styles, chosen for the same reason we choose every brand: quality, wearability, and a point of view that lasts beyond any single season.
If you already love Citizens of Humanity, AGOLDE sits in the same family — and it shows in the construction and fabric quality. These are jeans built to be lived in, worn constantly, and kept for years.
About AGOLDE
AGOLDE is a premium denim label based in Los Angeles, part of the Citizens of Humanity group and rooted in the same obsession with exceptional denim that defines that broader stable of brands. The label takes its name and its founding principles from the denim lineage of Adriano Goldschmied — one of the figures widely regarded as the original architect of premium denim — and has built on that heritage with a design philosophy that draws equally from vintage references and contemporary culture.
The brand's design collective works from downtown Los Angeles, drawing inspiration from the city's creative community and the authenticity of vintage denim. Every AGOLDE silhouette is developed with the intention of capturing what makes a great vintage pair of jeans feel irreplaceable — the wash, the weight, the way they soften and shape over time — and recreating that feeling with modern precision. Fabrics are sourced globally for quality and sustainability, and production is developed through vertically owned facilities and carefully selected partners.
Sustainability is built into how AGOLDE operates rather than bolted on as an afterthought. The brand uses advanced production methods including laser technology and high-efficiency wash processes to reduce environmental impact, and continues to invest in bio-derived materials and eco-conscious practices as part of its ongoing development.
AGOLDE Jeans: The Key Styles
AGOLDE's strength is in its denim silhouettes, which tend to be relaxed, high-waisted, and rooted in the proportions of the late 80s and early 90s. The 90s Crop is one of the label's most recognised styles — a mid-rise loose fit with a cropped leg that works across every wardrobe. The Riley is a high-rise straight leg with a clean, raw-cut hem that has become a modern classic. The Pinch Waist takes the baggy silhouette and adds a subtle ruched waist detail for shape without structure. The Low Slung Baggy sits lower on the hip for a more relaxed, contemporary drape.
What unites every AGOLDE style is the wash quality — the brand's custom-developed washes are one of its most distinguishing features, producing tones that feel aged and authentic rather than artificially distressed. These are jeans that look as though they have been worn in properly, from the first time you put them on.

How does AGOLDE sizing work?
AGOLDE uses US sizing. As a general guide, the brand's jeans tend to run true to size, though if you are between sizes many customers find sizing up more comfortable given the relaxed, vintage-inspired fits. The waist and hip measurements on the brand's size guide are the most reliable reference point. If you are unsure, please get in touch and we will help you find the right fit.
Are AGOLDE jeans true to size?
Generally yes, though it depends on the style. The more relaxed fits such as the 90s Crop and Low Slung Baggy tend to run true to size or can be sized down for a snugger fit. The straighter styles such as the Riley are typically true to size. AGOLDE's size guide provides waist and hip measurements which are the most accurate way to find your fit.
Is AGOLDE a sustainable brand?
Sustainability is central to how AGOLDE operates. The brand uses laser technology and high-efficiency wash methods to reduce water usage and chemical impact in production, and continues to develop bio-derived materials and eco-conscious practices. Fabrics are sourced from innovative global suppliers with quality and environmental responsibility in mind.
What is the difference between AGOLDE and Citizens of Humanity?
Both brands are part of the same group and share a commitment to premium denim construction and sustainable production. Citizens of Humanity tends toward cleaner, more classic silhouettes, while AGOLDE takes a more directional approach — looser proportions, more distinctive washes, and a stronger vintage-inspired aesthetic. Both are stocked at Kiti.
