It seems like Pelle Pelle don't make leathers no more. They don't even have an American website selling leathers no more. All they have is a European site selling JCPenny style urban gear and no leathers. I find it odd that Pelle fell off that quick. NYC and Midwest (Chicago and Detroit) nikkas known for rocking Pelle leathers hard. Pelle's been big in Hip Hop since the late 80's/early 90's. If it's true it's sad because Pelle was one of the last black owned urban brands to have a big following. And Pelle made some leathers over the years that could be considered works of art. Pelle outlasted Fubu, Phat Farm, Sean John and all of the late 90's and early 2000's hot urban brands because Pelle always catered to the black city dwellers in NYC and the Midwest as well as all over the country throughout the 90's and 2000's. Their leathers were distinctive unlike Eurocac leathers which are plain and flavorless. But it seems that now (racist) European fashion houses have become defacto urban brands. Hood nikkas would rather wear Gucci, Louis, Fendi and Versace even though many of them probably wouldn't be allowed to buy anything in person at a racist ass Gucci, Louis or Versace store. I haven't been up to NYC during the colder months in years. I remember at the beginning of the decade Pelle was still going strong up there. Has Pelle really died in NYC, Chicago and the rest of the Midwest which kept the brand alive for literally decades with black dollars going to a black owned clothing label.
