"they are anti- crease, which is really good for the environment"
You learn something new every day
I guess it’s because you’re not using an iron, which uses electricity.
Literally my thought when Deborah nodded at that
Irons and clothes presses use huge amounts of power, like any heating device.
@Paul Blackman what are you on about
@Paul Blackman I mean, the cycle one isn't true if it is done right. Cyclists can go on cycle lanes etc
I love this community. It’s a mix of people saying what they had for lunch and others slating a business/dragon
Vert true, not sure if I'm more excited to see the actual video or read the comments 😎
Ahah indeed, I'm having focaccia with potatoes
I had soup. Theo the fetus.
Gravy Cottage cheese and bread for me
And the other 3rd is people making Jenny jokes
£179 for a polyester jumpsuit?? Who in their right mind would pay that?? Unless they have a dragon-esque bank balance!
Those who pay more than £178,99?!
you using the word esque like you are all that. poser
If my gf came home with this and told me she paid $185 usd for a dress to SLEEP in, i would have sent her to the insane asylum.
I’d sleep naked if I was with my boyfriend ahahaha
The fact they came in wanting Peter, rather than the guy who's made literally hundreds of millions of pounds in the textile and fashion industries, shows they are bordering brain-dead
They remind me of the Harry Enfield sketch with a shop full of wank….’I saw you coming’
Thats exactly what i thought.
I thought their stupidity was obvious from the moment they were talking about affirmations and high fiving in the elevator lol
The fact you think they're bordering brain-dead goes to show you have 0 knowledge of what Peter has in his portfolio of businesses & investments.
Lmao
How can they charge that much money for such Blah clothes? solid boring clothes that I would never wear. The clothes should be 40 pounds at the most. Deborah got it right. Natural material beats manmade.
Toucker has made his fortune in womenswear..no doubt his desk is full of fashion magazines which he flicks through to keep on trend..the second he reacted like that,you know they have a rubbish product
These days he probably has like 20 monitors with tabs from ASOS, Next, H&M, Uniqlo, all just covering his screens
It was obvious even before that.
In Canadian dollars, that red jumpsuit that she's wearing costs over 275 dollars for what looks like oversized, unappealing pajamas. Haha. You ladies are hilarious. Global domination indeed.
In USD it is about $246. I just don't see it.
@@tootsd Yes, I don't understand it either.
I love Touker's flex in this episode :D
Taking off his glasses and all. Lol
Here is a shapeless flat curtain to put on yourself that will probably cool you off a little more compared to an actual dress/shirt that touches your body only for 150 pounds.
You forgot "polyester".
Anyone willing to spend £150 on a nightie wants something nicer than this. These outfits look like they’re off a Walmart rack
Hmm, come on ladies, 160 quid for a polyester frock is never going to be a "global" success. It might work if the technology was radically new, if it somehow kept you cool in the middle of a heatwave, but we all know that it won't do that. Sara's idea of putting them on the TV shopping channels is good, but you need to be punting them out at 50 quid a throw for that to work.
Sarah wants to put them on TV and they didn’t fight for her!!!
no kidding. they were hooked on peter. It just shows how a contestant should have no preference, and no assumptions
.
Anything clothing-related automatically offends Touker 😂
He seems very easily offended in a lot of these. Or if all the other dragons have really slated someone he’ll act a lot nicer and then make them an offer for 49%
He is envious of the high quality and nice designs. His stuff is junk.
@@JoshF848 plus free office space
Well dude is a pro in his field. Same way Peter would berate someone whenever it’s tech related if it doesn’t impress him.
@@ifwecouldvote Funny enough that is true and also wrong. Considering he does cheapen out on the manufacturing but he also has an eye for high quality materials which he points out, like the guy guy with half-backpack and half-brief briefcase.
You gotta admit that at least Touker knows his stuff.
And he has lots of office space.
He has to
What happens if its cold outside
The Dragons really missed an opportunity here. Cucumber Clothing is now worth over 400 billion and has exclusive deals with Jupiter and Mars. These Dragons really don't know what they are doing!!
Thanks Robert. Can you add a link where you found your sources?
@@gdog7391Of course, my source is Jenny Campbell. I was out last night so I inevitably bumped into Jenny as she was also out. She was more than happy to dish some dirt on the other dragons!
@@robertwagner6601 according to companies house they have a net worth currently of 36,000.
@@lukebignell7846 Pretty sure they're joking, hon.
@@lukebignell7846 Companies House cannot include figures acquired from interplanetary deals.
"Nancy and Eileen" sound like a couple of housewives from the 40s
Chicken biriyani and a dose of reality, the mark up on that tat was outrageous.
Sounds like a great lunch!
I just had the exact same right now 😂
Honestly, how on earth can it cost £25 to buy wholesale polyester clothing?
They’re inexperienced
‘I think women will be your core demographic for the women’s clothes you’re selling’
Genius.
No, she's referring to the type of women that watch TV shopping channels.
The way those 2 women reacted as the dragons declared themselves out is why they won’t succeed. They can’t hide their emotions. I thought their reactions were a bit rude. (mainly the one in red)
I kinna agree but I'd be pissed too if someone called my product "blegh" and tried to pass that off as constructive criticism. I know jack about fashion but I always get the impression Touker isn't as adroit in the modern fashion world as he was back in the day
Well tough for you, the brand is now over 400 BILLION!
@@TheManInBlueFlames Are you sure you found the right one?
@@TheManInBlueFlames no it's not. They are about 36k worth.
A guy just posted the update in the comments section.
andouille and boiled potatoes
They were not happy when Sara mentioned QVC lol
I know ('how dare you suggest a tacky shopping for us!')
I thought exactly the same. They’ve got “superior” printed on their foreheads and QVC doesn’t match their ego!
Would you prefer a polyester curtain or something high quality like a beautiful silk dress for probably the same money?
Neither, both those fabrics are hot as hell
I've been on the website and their clothing is so expensive 😩
Just a couple of boiled eggs and toast today.
Surprised at the lack of people wearing their birthday suits for bed! Can't beat that for comfort!
Spot on!
Totally agree, even on the coldest nights I can't wear bedclothes
@@The-D33J I just always worry in case someone breaks in or I go sleep walking 🤣
@@SimplyTheBex I live alone so sleep walking aint a problem and if anyone ever broke in, seeing me sleeping naked is gonna send 'em running for the hills anyway 🤣🤣
I was waiting for Touker's comments on this and finally after 6 minutes and 45 seconds, he finally broke up the silence.
5:05
Leaves Pizza Jones & Sour Davies a little underwhelmed
uhnmm yea they’re right - those designs are _awful._ great idea, bordering on genius, however the execution is just….abysmal.
i’d also argue: the fact that their preferred Dragon was Peter instead of the very, very obvious choice says a lot too. :0/
"These dresses...
*
Do not take into account Brian's figures" 🤣
I don't know why (actually I do it's because of Touka's face pulling) but Tej and Touka remind me of Ren and Stimpy
“Women get hot for so many different reasons.”
👀
Yeah, that caught my ear too. "Women get hot for so many different reasons" made me wince for a second as regards the cucumber reference.
giggles ..yeah that statement cracked me up.
Not only do polyester and polyester blends make me hot, they make me stink too.
And feels gross against the skin once you are hot
The clothes hide layers of blubber
You need some nerve to sell polyester smocks for that sort of cash.
Ohhh yes lunchtime with dragons.. Where my hungry people at?
Pizza.
Touker's stank face this episode 🤣
"Deborah, what do you wear to bed?" 😂😂 Can't believe Peter Jones asked that question!! 😂
I quite like the styles and the idea of their clothes
Loved her response too🤣
I'm thinking they could launch a " we don't like onesies " collection , don't know if it's just me but they look so hot and claustrophobic .
No disrespect for the ladies but the clothing really did look quite awful, and marketing a polyester fabric as cooling seems a bit of a stretch. Additionally polyester is flammable and burns slowly leaving a molten residue which sticks to the skin. The prices are inordinately high. Nice women, but a nasty product both in design and content.
It should not be more thank $50 the price is crazy
Just had a quarter pounder with no pickles and a sprite from McDonalds..
Nice!
2:26 “so many of the conversations with our friends revolve around the issue of getting hot”
I guess when you’re wealthy and don’t have any real problems to deal with or have anything interesting going on, you really have to scrounge for things to talk about haha
Fashion tycoon says "yack 😖"
That sums it up...
Yeah my first thought was "God that's ugly" the concept was brilliant but execution flawed
Deborah you absolute LEGEND!
That little crack at the end was... chefs kiss!!!
Just open the window if you're feeling overheated lol
Went a bit wild and risked reduced sushi from local store.
Madman
How did sushi taste?
Good though little sour but gonna put it down to the rice vinega and pray
Let us know the results tomorrow 😄
sara absolutely right here about the price
Touker was shockingly blunt when he told then they look 'Uackkhh' 🤮
“Ye would go out in nighteyyyyy”
I read that in Shrek's voice
10:57 That should be the thumbnail...
What’s for lunch?
roll and linx can’t beat it
Stop been weird, why do u care what people have for lunch. Your life must be very boring
@@harrylambiebaker5268 if her lifes boring yours must be 10x worse, calm down??
I had soup and a sandwich. That's a meal!
The real OG's know this episode is a repost 😁👍
It's not...
@@TheManInBlueFlames It is, I've seen it
Well i've employed 99999 aliens and they say this is not the case.
@@TheManInBlueFlames Well those aliens are wrong, why do you trust them
The 5th of September 2020.
Cotton is KING, always has been and it's gotten so expensive you rarely see it anymore unless you want to pay over $100 for a good quality blouse. Everything now has polyester added or rayon, etc...man made fibers which do NOT keep you cool.
100% bullshit
The blonde lady has a really pretty smile tho
Do you mean Sara or the entrepreneur?
Why on earth going for Peter, when Touker is sitting right there?!
I just wear whatever I was wearing during the day to bed.
oh and i'm having hungry jacks for dinner
That's hardcore.
Legend. That’s how I operate.
My wife has pyjamas. Ridiculous…
How dare you have Hungry Jack's. One phone call and Ronald McDonald will haunt you for eternity
@@Thundermoney I was gonna have maccas, but the menulog guy took the order LMAO
THe clothes are something like you would get from a supermarket.
Steak bakes aaaaaand wedgeeess :)
ha ha, clothes for people with zero fashion sense
Started on One Pitch, now it's 4AM, Bloody Dragons Den, I'm Doin A Jenny! 😝
At 0:16 if you pause the video and take a good look at the picture of Peter, is it just me or does he look a lot like Tony Blair.
wow creepy
Polyester. LOL.
I love the concept but the clothes look ass. Maybe they could have accessorised them a bit?? Anyway, chicken and gravy pie with beans 😊🍽️
Gravy!? With beans!? I have to know if you’re American or a Brit because my Brit self is baffled 🤣
@@blueribenaberry lol!!! Chicken and gravy pie.. So basically pie with baked beans!!! Brit here, love pies 😍😍😍
Miss C Brown Ahh!! I wondered if you were American & using ‘gravy’ like they say ‘biscuit’ & it was actually something totally different 😂 But this changes everything!! I’d never have thought beans with chicken pie would work but I must try it...I’ll decide if you’ve improved or ruined my life come dinner time 🤣🤣😜
Expensive kit!
It’s the UK!! When does it Ever got hot in the UK to warrant this potato sack dresses
climate change: hold my beer
The designs are indeed looking cheap, the price, on the other hand, is not. It's quite a mismatch. Then the idea of keeping you cool. Well, you really get this with other fabrics as well.
And, eum, I wouldn't want to wear the same thing on the street as I do in bed. Purely for hygienic reasons. Imagine all that dirt from the outside transferred into your bed. I cannot refresh my bed everyday. So, you'll end up with redressing yourself for the night anyway.
In short: I don't get it. I don't like it. I wouldn't pay more than 20 bucks for such a dress.
More than 36k in debt as of the latest fin. statements. Doesn't go well.
meanwhile the younger generation is literally going out in public in pajamas. At least here in Socal
Debra is wrong, cotton is the worse thing to wear in warm weather. Polyester is the recommended material
Here before the people taking lunch comments
The sweats beat you to it
Well what did you eat for lunch? This is a fun Friday I hope it was delicious
At least they stayed cool..
Fish salad for dinner for me. Went for the healthy option
"Smash it" must be the most irritating sentence in the whole world ever.
I think you just need to go to a hot place or athletics and you'll learn what's cooling.
I want to know who the guy is that's charging them £25 a pop for those awful polyester dresses. He seems like a better investment
meatballs for lunch today
Beef noodles for me
Yum!! Spicy
I'm not a women who gets hot but I wouldn't want to wear the long dresses and I wouldn't want to wear them in bed. It would be better to wear t shirts & shorts etc made from the thin fabrics
Of course your not a woman, your iron man
@@ZAINALI-xm8ln exactly 😂
It's a bit like trying to sell an innovative kind of water that prevents you from being thirsty
I agree with Peter.
Pity, as a very good brand name.
They did look awful though.
+ they sound dear to me.
In an already over saturated market .......
Ethereum 💯
Wow what a pampered society we live in . . .
Chicken breast and cabbage salad
Chanel N.5! Love Debra!!!
Pretty in red
It’s so relatable though. I’m always hot 🥵 Always, although I’m underweight, sunny summer or arctic winter, doesn’t matter, I get hot just like that!
Jenny was watching this on her phone, she whispers under her breath I never get warm I’m always out.
Nice one
Cod and chips for today💪🏾
M&S macaroni cheese
Wow, those things were totally hideous. Tell ‘em they’re dreamin’!
I don't think they are anything special or new about the design. They use similar types in the hot eastern countries anyway
Those are awful dresses, they're formless and anemic. They want to expand to younger markets? You think a 25 year old will buy this?? These are menopausal mother dresses, they're the furthest thing from cool and trendy you could get.
Wow!!!...What a GREAT voice!!!
👍😁😁
Sara wearing her favorite dress AGAIN
eggs on toast for me.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
7:42 Just wow...
Some noodles and salmon for lunch today
The price is not good
