To me, it always symbolised hard-calfed, down to earth, Northern cyclists, with flat vowels.
Now, a strutting and flamboyant bunch, sashaying down the catwalk, clad from head to toe in damp, heavyweight canvas.

apologies, I should have just asked them. But they aren't answering the phone on a Saturday. I found these though, which look like they're from the company itself:

Re: ...how Carradice is pronounced?
It wouldn't have crossed my mind to pronounce it any other way than the way they do in the videos. I've even heard Americans pronounce it that way.
Have we got time for another cuppa?

Mister Google informs me that it is, perhaps disappointingly, of Scots, rather than Italian origin.
PS: if Americans can pronounce it correctly, then the thing to do is change the pronunciation to confuse them. It’s apparently closely related to Carruthers, so saying it like that should serve the purpose.

Clearly Carradice, only a fool would say Carradice.
On the other hand - never criticise anyone for not knowing how a word is pronounced, it's evidence that they have discovered it by reading.

A shortcut has to be a challenge, otherwise it would just be the way. No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse.

Like the chorus of the song ...
"Dreamed of Carra-Carra-Carradice
Carra-Carra-Carradice, Carra-Carra-Carradice,
Every time she rode her bike."
