Pelle Pelle is a distinguished American fashion brand founded in 1978 by Marc Buchanan in Auburn Hills, Michigan. Initially specializing in leather outerwear, the brand quickly became synonymous with urban fashion, particularly within the hip-hop community.
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Pelle Pelle expanded its offerings beyond leather jackets to include denim, T-shirts, and hoodies, solidifying its status as a leading urban fashion label. Celebrities such as 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Redman, Nas, and Ghostface Killah were frequently seen sporting Pelle Pelle attire, further cementing the brand's cultural significance.
After Marc Buchanan's passing in 2022, the brand faced challenges, including a hiatus in 2019. However, efforts are underway to revive Pelle Pelle, aiming to honor its legacy and reintroduce its iconic designs to both new and returning customers.
Today, Pelle Pelle's official website offers a range of products, including leather jackets, denim, and other apparel, reflecting the brand's enduring commitment to quality and urban style.
