The short answer is yes, though you will need a different brand name to find the business today.
Full Ask, Then A No
Rea and Carson wanted £75,000 for a 40 percent stake, and the record shows Duncan Bannatyne agreeing to back the pitch at those terms, before the pair chose to walk away from the money once filming ended.
According to earlier reporting, their reasoning centred on wanting to keep steering the brand's direction themselves rather than sharing that control with an outside investor, a trade-off plenty of younger founders on this show wrestle with.
A New Name, A Different Product
By previous accounts, the onesie trend that first got the founders noticed eventually cooled, and the business evolved alongside it into bespoke apparel for teams, clubs and events under a new name, now employing a team of over twenty people.
Building a made-to-order clothing service rather than riding a single fashion trend gives the current business a considerably steadier footing than the original onesie line ever had, which likely explains why it kept growing long after that trend faded.
