In a game-changing move at Dragons’ Den, Liverpool-based luxury resale platform Luxe Collective secures a substantial £100,000 investment from renowned entrepreneur Steven Bartlett. The Dragons’ Den panelist’s bid, in exchange for a 3% equity stake, triumphs over offers from fashion industry entrepreneur Touker Souleyman.
Founded in 2018 by brothers Ben and Joe Gallagher, Luxe Collective found inspiration in Steven Bartlett’s podcast, ‘The Diary of a CEO.’ Boasting a substantial social media following with 523,000 on Instagram and 1.6 million on TikTok, Luxe Collective has become a prominent player in the luxury resale space.
The platform distinguishes itself by offering authenticated items from coveted brands such as Chanel, Dior, Celine, and Loewe. Sellers benefit from a stress-free selling experience, while buyers enjoy peace of mind through Luxe Collective’s authentication and order tracking services. The platform extends its reach through product reviews on its YouTube channel and engaging live shopping events.
CEO Ben Gallagher expresses excitement about the national stage recognition on Dragons’ Den, considering it a testament to the team’s dedication. He emphasizes, «This is just the start. You will hear more from Luxe; we promise you.»
