Hi Irene,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Pelle Club is a fashion brand associated with urban and hip-hop-inspired streetwear, often confused or loosely linked with the more widely known Pelle Pelle brand. It was active primarily in the late 1990s and early 2000s and featured leather jackets, denim outfits, and urban sportswear in bold colors and cuts.
The name, styling, and product types suggest it may have been positioned as a diffusion line or an offshoot inspired by Pelle Pelle, founded by Marc Buchanan in 1978. However, there is no confirmed corporate connection between the two brands.
While there a few comparable coats listed online currently in the $200-300 range, when these come to auction, they usually sell for between $125 and $175.
