Lewis Leathers’ President Derek Harris passed away on Sunday, 22nd of June.\u00a0He was a very kind, much loved, cool and very charming man who\u00a0was always on the go, talking about Lewis Leathers, art, music, and so much more, and it was not unusual for him to wake up and immediately start talking about work. Everything he told us was detailed, vivid and extremely sensitive, and it is the basis for preserving Lewis’ history.
\nWhenever I complimented him on any one of his many triumphs, he would say, ‘It’s not about me, it’s Lewis Leathers’, and this humble attitude characterised his approach to everything.<\/p>\n

Derek was born in Eastbourne in 1958, on the\u00a0South Coast of England, but had been travelling to London every weekend since he was a teenager, eventually moving here in 1981, where he has\u00a0lived ever since. The people who gathered at his local\u00a0pubs, where he could talk and share pub jokes without any distinction of profession or background, were his most favourite places to relax and have\u00a0fun. He also met many wonderful people in Japan, a place he adopted as a spiritual home in the 1980s,\u00a0and still has many friends there.<\/p>\n

He became president of Lewis Leathers on 2003, 23 years ago, but he first encountered Lewis Leathers in the mid-1960s, as a child, through newspaper and magazine advertisements and he also saw rockers racing motorcycles in the neighbourhood and realised that they must be wearing Lewis Leathers.\u00a0Ten years later, when the punk era arrived, he saw The Clash wearing Lewis Leathers and immediately understood that this was a brand\u00a0not only with a\u00a0historical past, it was still ‘making history’.\u00a0I think it was fate that led him to the company at an early age.<\/p>\n

I will do my best to carry on the gift of his accomplishments, and continue the\u00a0passion that he has left us.\u00a0Derek trusted and loved me with all his heart. It has given me an irreplaceable miracle of life.\u00a0Speaking here\u00a0to Derek from my heart, I tell him that everything in my life has changed 180 degrees since I met you. Thank you and I will remember you forever. I will do my best to protect and carry on the great brand you left us, Lewis Leathers, with all the best staff.<\/p>\n

I would like to thank the many fans of the Lewis Leathers brand and everyone involved, and I will continue to protect the brand in the spirit of Derek Harris.
\nThank you for your continued support.<\/p>\n
