Farfetch operates an online marketplace that connects luxury fashion brands, boutique retailers, and consumers from around the world. The platform allows users to buy and sell high-end fashion items, catering to a clientele that values quality and exclusivity.

The company generates revenue primarily through commissions on sales made through its platform, and it also offers additional services like digital marketing and logistics to help brands manage their online presence. A key aspect of Farfetch's business is its acquisition of companies like LUXCLUSIF, which enables it to enter the pre-owned luxury goods market. The goal of Farfetch is to create a comprehensive digital marketplace that enhances the shopping experience for luxury fashion consumers while supporting brands and retailers in reaching a global audience.
