What Happened to Ripped Luggage Ltd After Dragons’ Den?
Ripped Luggage Ltd appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2017, Series 14 Episode 15. The business was a six-pack inspired luggage range. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2020.
The Pitch
Adam Stevenson walked into the Den in 2017 with a six-pack inspired luggage range. They were asking for £60,000 in exchange for 20% of the business.
Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.
The Deal
No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Adam Stevenson left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Ripped Luggage Ltd did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2020, only 3 years after the Den appearance.
This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.
Is Ripped Luggage Ltd Still in Business?
No. Ripped Luggage Ltd is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
