Legacy Continues @ The Urban Source

Pelle Pelle’s Past and Present

Pelle Pelle was founded as a leather outerwear company in 1978 by owner and chairman Marc Buchanan, and since then it has continually defined the urban clothing segment. A testament to our company values is our dedication to creating quality original menswear that consistently sets trends in our industry.The global brand is recognized for its fashion-forward products, state-of-the-art graphics and high-end collectible jackets, and is a wardrobe favorite among major musicians and stars. Recently, the company was honored by some of hip-hop’s founders, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. The group asked Pelle Pelle to design a studded leather jacket for them, which they wore during their induction into the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame. Pelle Pelle was also featured in the 2009 major motion picture, “Notorious,” chronicling the life of rap artist Biggie Smalls.“More than 30 years in the fashion world is a remarkable achievement and the future of the company appears even brighter than the past,” said John Green, director of marketing.Through continual innovation and design we are confident that our brand will set trends and create new opportunities. The label is positioned to keep pace with the high-end market and build on our well established base of specialty retailers.
