What to know about Kuyichi
Started as an NGO proof point
Development organisation Solidaridad launched Kuyichi in 2000 to show jeans could be made with organic cotton at commercial scale, not as a niche experiment.
Five-pocket jeans are the core
The range is built around men's and women's straight, tapered and wide-leg five-pocket jeans, with jackets, T-shirts and knitwear filling in around them.
Supplier details are published
Fabrics use organic, recycled and regenerated cotton blends, and the brand lists its suppliers and materials rather than leaving sourcing vague.
