Either's possible. I know Lewis had deviated a lot from the classic models by the tail end of the eighties.... not sure when that started, though. I don't think Derek has revived everything (yet) - certainly they dropped the regular Monza (which they had revived) some years ago. Certainly could be another brand, though, there were so many back in the day. Even plausible it's a Kensington Market or Camden Market special....
Speaking of which, even a decade ago (when I lived halfway between both neighbourhoods so I could walk to both), I could never find anything of interest (clothing wise) in either market. Kensington was good for household things, though, and I regret not picking up quite beautiful Victorian bridle luggage!

They were both past their heyday by then. Camden was never the same after the fire in 2008. I've not really spent time there in a long time, but the last time I was through, it was a fun enough place to wander around, but all the uniqueness had gone, replaced by multiple places selling the same stuff you can find on a dozen websites... Shame. A lot of the good stuff from Camden has migrated to either the market under the Westway flyover, at the bottom of the Portobello Road, or Spitalfields. The real Kensington (indoor) Market, where DeeDee used to buy his clothes when he lived in London after he left the band to concentrate on kicking the smack was shut down in the early-mid 2000s, as memory serves. A tragic loss. It was a shadow of its former self when I knew it (not the Mecca it had been when Ken Calder was selling his own creations there to Hendrix, Brian Jones, Mick Jagger and various Beatles), but it was still kinda fun, and not pricey. Such a shame it's gone. Around 1999, it still had some fairly decent, affordable OTR drapes, albeit more in the punk end of the spectrum than yer hactual Ted gear.
That Victorian luggage is probably selling somewhere on Upper Street now - at ten times the price you saw it going for.

Too pricey for the Finds and Deals thread but I'm enamoured with these two Fourspeed Leathers jackets that popped up on Y!Japan...
This one went for $600 recently
They produce some nice stuff!

Ridiculously gullible people of TikTok. That woman is full of bs, too. She found none of that inside the jacket. None of it ever happened. But the jacket is nice.

Nice jacket. You can have an Al's in super thick steer hide for 1k less.
Oh Yes, I have been exploring these styles! I should have something fun in half a year or so
