Dragons' Den star Sara Davies increases stake in business she founded
A star of Dragons' Den is increasing her stake in the crafting company she founded as the owner of WH Smith sells its holding in the business. Sara Davies, a panellist on the popular BBC show, has increased her holding in Crafter's Companion after joining efforts to turn around the company when it filed for administration earlier this year. Davies, 41, founded the business from her bedroom at York University and built it into an international seller of paper craft, art and sewing products, with a reported valuation of more than £25 million in 2019. She returned as chief executive of Crafter's Companion earlier this year when it was sold through a fast-track pre-pack administration to Modella Capital, the investment firm that has since purchased the WH Smith store portfolio. Modella has now sold its interest to Maven Capital Partners, an investment firm headquartered in Glasgow, and Davies, who founded the company 20 years ago. Crafter's Companion swung back to profitability in May following Davies's return. She is now standing down as chief executive and will hand over day-to-day running of the business to Diane Sharp, who was initially brought in as a financial controller and was subsequently promoted to managing director. The company is opening a warehouse in the US in the coming weeks as its products were caught by the Trump administration's decision to end a tariff exemption on imports of goods valued at $800 or less. Davies had stayed as a non-executive with Crafter's Companion when it was sold to Growth Partner, a long-term backer, in 2024. She said the business lost its way when the new management team brought in to run the company shifted its focus from die-hard crafters towards a more general audience. She told The Times: 'We are excellent in our product development and our biggest investment in our company is in product development. They radically cut our product development teams down and wanted to source off-the-shelf product from China. 'Our customers are generally older, retired ladies who have time on their hands and plenty of money. The strategy pivot went after a much broader audience. And in my eyes, we have no right to win there. We don't compete on price; we deliver exceptional products which are at the higher end of the market.' The financial details of the transaction were not disclosed but it is understood that Davies will significantly increase her minority shareholding in the business, with Maven owning a majority stake.

Jewellery chain Claire's UK business falls into administration with 2,150 jobs at risk
LONDON, Aug 13 (Reuters) - More than 2,150 jobs are at risk after the UK business of struggling jewellery chain Claire's called in administrators. Insolvency practitioners Interpath said on Wednesday they had been appointed joint administrators to Claire's Accessories UK Ltd, the operator of Claire's 306 stores across the UK and Ireland. The move comes a week after its parent filed for bankruptcy protection in the United States. Headquartered in Birmingham, central England, Claire's is known for its trend-led accessories and as a destination for ear piercing. The administrators said they intend to continue to trade the business while they assess its options, including exploring the possibility of a sale as a going concern. As such, all UK and Ireland stores will remain open. However, customers will no longer be able to place orders online. 'Over the coming weeks, we will endeavour to continue to operate all stores as a going concern for as long as we can, while we assess options for the Company," Will Wright, Interpath's UK CEO, said. "This includes exploring the possibility of a sale which would secure a future for this well-loved brand."

Ugly, mortifying – and addictive? Tim Dowling's week in the world's most divisive shoes
Back in January, Vogue made a bold headline prediction: 'This Freaky-Chic Shoe Will Be Everywhere in 2025'. It had already been spotted on models and rap artists, and all over TikTok and Instagram. By summer, Grazia declared that 'The split-toe trend that's been quietly bubbling for years just hit the mainstream', citing shopping app Lyst, which named the shoe as one of its top five most-searched items. The freaky-chic shoe in question is the toe shoe – a lightweight, thin-soled trainer with separate, articulated toes. They come in a number of brands and styles, and while they may be popular, I can safely say they are not 'everywhere'. Walking in them in public every day for a week, I never ran across another person wearing them. Anywhere. The original toe shoe is the Vibram FiveFingers, which has actually been with us since 2006. The model I've chosen, the V-Alpha Hydro, has a 3mm rubber outsole and a 2mm foam insole, offering a close-to-barefoot walking experience. They're primarily designed for outdoor training, hiking, barefoot running and general fitness, but they are not designed to look cool. The five separate pockets allow one's toes to splay out more naturally, if not more attractively. Not for nothing did Vogue call FiveFingers 'the fitness world's most divisive shoe'. Vibram is the market leader in a complex footwear category – not all toe shoes are barefoot shoes, and not many barefoot shoes have articulated toes. Some have only a separate big toe, for a more cloven-hoofed look. But they're all meant to represent an improvement on traditional footwear. The putative benefits listed for my FiveFingers include 'zero heel drop keeping you naturally planted to the ground', 'fantastic proprioception and feedback from the feet to the brain' and 'as much natural foot movement as possible'. The FiveFingers may provide a more natural fit, but that doesn't mean they fit naturally. My toes don't automatically slide into their corresponding pouches; they have to be coaxed and prodded in. And yes, if you're going to wear socks, you'll need toe socks, adding another layer of complexity to getting dressed in the morning. Even after I think I have my left shoe all the way on, a cursory squeeze of each toe pocket reveals that the second one along is empty. Where did that toe go? It turns out it's sharing a pouch with its nextdoor neighbour. When both shoes are finally on properly, I take them for a brief trial spin. At first, I feel like a circus clown. My splayed toes look like two hands of miniature bananas, and the rubber soles slap against the pavement like duck's feet. New wearers are advised to transition gradually from regular shoes, because it's a different style of walking (or running, if that's your intention). After a cautious 50 metres or so, I settle into a more barefoot stride – mid-foot strike rather than heel strike, and less noisy. Meanwhile, I'm very in touch with the ground beneath me: my toes grip the pavement; I can feel every tiny bump and crack. The overwhelming sensation, however, is one of horrifying self-consciousness – these are very weird-looking shoes. No one comments as I walk down a busy shopping street, and after a while I begin to hope no one has noticed – after all, I don't tend to notice other people's shoes when I'm out and about. Then I look down and think: yeah, but I would notice these. Any remaining hope that my toe shoes are unremarkable is dispelled as soon as I walk into my own kitchen, where my middle son is sitting at the table. 'What the hell are you wearing?' he says. 'On my feet, you mean?' I say. 'Yes, on your feet,' he says. 'The hot girl shoe of summer,' I say. My oldest son walks in with his girlfriend. 'My God, what are those?' she says. 'The future,' I say. 'They're hideous,' he says. 'They come in other colours,' I say. 'What are they like to walk in?' she says. 'Honestly?' I say. 'They're exhausting.' This is true: after just a few hours my feet are incredibly tired – not sore or achy, just bone-weary. It takes three days to build up enough tolerance to wear them from morning until night. After that, I hardly notice them. The fact that I have them on keeps catching me by surprise: hey! I think. I'm driving in toe shoes! I'm in a supermarket in toe shoes! I am at one with the earth, intensely aware of tiny changes in the terrain – the grout between the tiles, the dry grass poking between my toes. I'm also getting used to the idea that everyone – everyone – notices. My wife is not happy, though, especially when she sees me wearing them just as we're about to set off for a restaurant. 'You said a week,' she says. 'Today is a week,' I say. 'You really don't have to wear them tonight,' she says. 'You're just being perverse.' The truth is, toe shoes are a little bit addictive: comfortable and light, while also offering a Spider-Man-level of grip. They're also so difficult to put on I'm reluctant to take them off. Once we're in the restaurant, the shoes stay under the table, and I feel perfectly normal. It's only as we're leaving, when I pass a waitress and smile, and she smiles back and looks down, and I see her face change, that I know I can't go on like this. The next day, as I'm posing for Alicia the photographer in my local park, a man comes running over to stop his dog getting into the shot. He apologises, and then looks over at me: a middle-aged man sitting on a bench in the watery morning light. 'Is it about the shoes?' he says. 'Of course it's about the shoes,' I say.
