On BBC’s “Dragons’ Den,” two Croydon mothers proposed their varied business selling Christmas decorations featuring black angels or black Santas on the Christmas show after their children thought angels couldn’t be black.
Last night’s episode of BBC1’s “Dragons’ Den” saw a pair of Croydon businesswomen receive a £50,000 investment after Peter Jones and Deborah Meaden were impressed by their company’s innovative use of color in decorating, cards, and luxury presents.
March Muses creates a greater range of representational gifts, wrapping paper, and Christmas decorations, and their products were recently supplied by Selfridges.
After struggling to locate gifts that resembled their children, Natalie Duvall and Alison Burton founded their company.
The brand is recognized for its handcrafted Christmas decorations, such as black angels and Santa ornaments, which are tailored to the wearer’s skin tone, hairstyle, body form, and size.
Natalie and Alison both live in Croydon, in East Croydon for Natalie, and Norwood for Alison.
While managing March Muses, both are still working. Alison is a principal recruiting consultant at ICON Global Strategic Solutions, while Natalie works for Red Bull as a culture manager.
Dragons Den Black Christmas Decorations Racist Claims Against Black-Skinned Decorations
Fans of Dragon have been outraged after sharing obscene and racist remarks on Twitter in response to an episode on April 7.
Some supporters were overjoyed to hear that the entrepreneur had secured deals with dragons Deborah Meaden and Peter Jones, while others were less thrilled.
On Twitter, several harsh remarks were made, with some people questioning whether black Christmas decorations were essential.
Meanwhile, Deborah Meaden and Peter Jones requested minority ownership in the company after deciding to invest, which was eventually agreed upon by the entrepreneurs.
Deborah congratulated the two on their achievements and the essential work they are doing.
Afterward, she remarked, “The Black Lives Matter movement really did underline the significance of representation, particularly with children”.
Dolls and action figures, as well as decorations, cards, and wrapping paper, should come in a range of colors and patterns.
