The Welsh handbag designer who starred on Dragons' Den and has hundreds of people on her waiting lists

A woman from Porthcawl who recently appeared on BBC’s Dragons' Den believes that having dyspraxia has been her own superpower when it comes to business success. Moray Luke is a fashion designer who launched an eco-friendly handbag brand from her bedroom just 18 months ago, and has since been going from strength to strength.

Sadly, none of the Dragons opted to invest on the episode aired in February. Steven Bartlett praised Moray on her 'beautiful' handbags but said that she wasn't at a stage where an investment deal would be 'helpful'.

Moray’s dyspraxia is caused by cerebellitis, a rare brain inflammation, and she is an ambassador for The Brain Charity. Her goal is now to shine a light on hidden disabilities, as she says that being neurodivergent has actually helped to inspire her ideas rather than hold her back.
