The store's concept dates back to 1948, when founder Bernard Lewis was a humble fruit salesman, and knitted wools for a living. Together with his three brothers, they were able to expand to nine stores, under the name Lewis Separates. In 1982, the company merged with Chelsea Girl to form the well celebrated River Island.
