Madonna is the latest celebrity to be seen sporting one of the popular jackets designed and made right in Fall River.

You may already know about the amazing story of Vanson Leathers, which has been nestled on Broadway in Fall River for over 50 years.

Vanson made headlines back in February when it was showcased on what is arguably the biggest stage in the world, the Super Bowl, when DJ Mustard was wearing a Vanson Leathers jacket during Kendrick Lamar's halftime show.

This past weekend, Madonna took the time to drop by Saturday Night Live to see musical guest Elton John performing alongside Brandi Carlile – which was surprising to many, considering the decades-long feud between Elton and Madonna.

Regardless, it was a sweet moment to see the two pictured together. The best part, Madonna was seen sporting a Vanson Leathers jacket in in several photos taken. Here is the post on X of the two music legends and you can see the Vanson logo on her left sleeve.

 


Mike Van Der Sleesen, one of the founders of Vanson Leathers, said these celebrity sightings in their jackets can happen organically.

"None of this exposure is planned or surgical in anyway," he said. "People just like our product and we are thankful for that."

While Vanson creates custom jackets for some celebrities, others are buying them and wearing them as they are created. Remember when Alicia Keyes sported one in her "Show Me Love" video?

It's nice to see a local business get global recognition, especially when it can bring two former enemies (who are also global icons) together in one photo.
