About the brand ❤️
River Island is a British fashion retailer known for affordable, trend-driven clothing for women, men, and children. Its origins date back to 1948, when Bernard Lewis started a small London-based store that gradually expanded. Over the decades, as fashion trends changed and retail expanded, the company evolved through earlier incarnations (such as “Chelsea Girl” and “Concept Man”) and in 1988 consolidated under the River Island name. Today, the brand is headquartered in West London, with design, buying, merchandising and other core teams operating from there, and remains owned by the founding Lewis family. River Island offers a wide product range — from womenswear and menswear to kidswear, footwear, bags, and accessories — and operates hundreds of stores across the UK and internationally, as well as an extensive online store. The brand positions itself as a high-street staple, combining fashion-forward collections with accessible pricing, and continues to be a significant presence in the global fashion market.
