I came across this as I was browsing today:

http://www.duendecouture.com/Leather%20Gallery.htm

Click on the thumbnails for the Indy Jackets.

Anyone know this company, just out of interest?

That jacket looked a little too familiar, so I started looking at the others. I blew up this pic for all to see. It's a little blurry, but it's something many of us have seen before. I'm still curious what the company is though.

Look at the jackets and hats and compare to the ones in the pics in this thread

Looks like Peter supplies them with all their products.

Someone found this back in September. They are just a retailer for Wested. I think Wested only supplies their leather jackets, or at least most of the styles.

Look at the pics in the "trip to Swanley" post, this looks like Wested's/Peter's showroom in both pictures. Look at the walls and signs, they are the same.

Wested has a deal with Duende, in one of the pictures somewhere, you can see a picture of the manager of Duende (Brandon) with Mr. Botwright. Duende just marks up Westeds jackets by $100 or $200 bucks....

On second thought, maybe not, the floor is different, and the signs not the same after all.

Don't feel bad, MS. I suspected the same thing when I was looking at both posts pictures.

A chinese gentleman, name of James Chung walks inot my place and buys a jacket, took some photo's and gave me his business card.
He asks if I make othet jacklets and specials and I say yes. and I have done. His company is Duende Couture.
