What Happened to Tatty Bumpkin Shop After Dragons’ Den?

Tatty Bumpkin Shop appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2010, Series 8 Episode 3. The business was a organic and bamboo kids clothing. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Sam Petter walked into the Den in 2010 with a organic and bamboo kids clothing. They were asking for £200,000 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 Sam Petter left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Tatty Bumpkin Shop is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2010, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.

Is Tatty Bumpkin Shop Still in Business?
