'No regrets' for Scots fashion boss who turned down Dragons' Den offers

Cally Russell founded Unfolded in 2021 as a response to the wasteful practices of fast fashion companies. The Edinburgh company produces clothes based on feedback from a panel of thousands of women, claiming to reduce waste and returns.

It says its model makes fashion cheaper, guarantees better wages for workers and funds literacy efforts in India, where the clothes are made. However, Cally went away empty handed after appearing on the BBC series on Thursday, seeking £75,000 of investment from the legendarily stubborn league of investors for a two percent stake in his firm.
