Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Pliqo Travel Bag After Dragons’ Den?
Pliqo Travel Bag appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2020, Series 17 Episode 11. The business was a travel bag for suits. They secured investment from Sara Davies on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Patrick Tathem walked into the Den in 2020 with a travel bag for suits. They were asking for £75,000 in exchange for 50% of the business.
The pitch landed well enough in the Den that at least one Dragon decided to back it.
The Deal
A deal was struck on the show. Sara Davies offered £75,000 for 50% (35% when investment is returned), and Patrick Tathem accepted.
It’s worth noting that Dragons’ Den deals agreed on camera often go through further negotiation off-screen. Some complete as shown; others are renegotiated or never finalise at all. The company’s subsequent trading history is the clearest indicator of what actually happened.
What Happened After the Show
Pliqo Travel Bag is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. The business has now been trading for around 9 years since the pitch.
Is Pliqo Travel Bag Still Available?
Yes. Pliqo London Limited appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
