It is Italian ,coming from a Milanese fashion designer. Hence
Car-ah-dee-chay
as in Duce-Doo-chay for Benito Mussolini.
The clever Italians pretended they were made in Nelson ,to appeal to British pride

Re: ...how Carradice is pronounced?
Perhaps my assumption on this (which seems to be correct, judging by the video clip) was based on the pronunciation of Allardyce. Sam Allardyce's mother-in-law used to live close to my parents, so I was familiar with his name from a long time back. And although it uses "yce" rather than "ice", I think I have assumed than the pronunciation is the same. So I have always gone with "ice", as in frozen water, as the ending.

Carra - dice - after Wilf Carradice who started the company. Apparently the staff find it highly amusing if people pronounce it as if it were Italian!!

Morningside might be more like

Bit off-topic, but I came across an Italian café in Scotland recently, called Bacchialdi's – because it's behind a certain supermarket.
