Since being founded as a leather outerwear company in 1978 by Owner and Chairman Marc Buchanan, Pelle Pelle has developed into one of the 21st Century’s leading young men’s lifestyle brands. Pelle Pelle celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, with plans for continued growth and success.

“Thirty years in the fashion world is a remarkable achievement,” said John Green, director of marketing, “but the future of the company appears even brighter than the past."

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. The company was recently honored by some of hip-hop’s founders, when it was asked to design a studded leather jacket for Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. The group wore the jacket during their induction into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. Pelle Pelle will also be featured in the 2009 major motion picture, “Notorious,” chronicling the life of rap artist Biggie Smalls.

Remaining ahead of the trends, the label will keep pace with the high-end market and build on its well established base of specialty retailers.

"The creation of high-end products for men and women using an innovative color selection, intermingled with various embroideries, jewels and studs, sets Pelle products apart from the industry," said Green. "The vision, design sense and achievements of Marc Buchanan are unparalleled in this business.”
