Pelle Pelle Jackets

The story of Pelle Pelle began in 1978, the brainchild of visionary designer Marc Buchanan. What started in a Detroit basement, driven by Buchanan's desire to blend urban street culture with high fashion, quickly blossomed into an iconic brand. The name "Pelle Pelle" itself, derived from the Italian word for "skin" or "leather," paid homage to the brand's initial focus on crafting premium leather jackets. Buchanan's commitment to quality, innovation, and self-expression laid the foundation for what Pelle Pelle would become – a symbol of individuality and fearless style. By 1983, Pelle Pelle jackets were making their mark, sold in urban specialty shops in cities like Philadelphia and New York, and becoming a staple in the burgeoning hip-hop culture. The brand's intricate designs, detailed stitching, and unique blend of streetwear and luxury resonated deeply within this community.

Pelle Pelle's fashion statement was reportedly discontinued in 2019, a significant moment for its dedicated followers who had relied on the brand for decades as a go-to for hip-hop apparel. However, the legacy of Marc Buchanan and his distinctive designs was too strong to fade away. pellepellejackets.com emerged with the sole purpose of upholding this legacy, dedicated to providing Pelle Pelle lovers with the originality and class they craved. This online store aims to continue Marc Buchanan's dream, offering a range of Pelle Pelle coats, vintage jackets, hoodies, and tracksuits, all meticulously designed with quality and comfort in mind. They emphasize their commitment to using the finest materials and eco-friendly processing, acknowledging their responsibility to the environment. While the original brand was founded by Marc Buchanan, pellepellejackets.com operates as a reseller, aiming to provide jackets that are very close to the original Pelle Pelle designs, catering to those who appreciate the brand's unique aesthetic and its deep roots in urban fashion.
