Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Vegan Shoe Boutique After Dragons’ Den?
Vegan Shoe Boutique appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2010, Series 8 Episode 4. The business was a online vegan female shoe website. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Claire Charles walked into the Den in 2010 with a online vegan female shoe website. They were asking for £100,000.
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 Claire Charles left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Vegan Shoe Boutique 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 Vegan Shoe Boutique Still in Business?
Yes. Vegan Shoe Boutique appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
