Farfetch operates as 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. Farfetch partners with various luxury brands and boutiques, providing them with a digital space to showcase their products and reach a global audience. 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 its partners. A key differentiator for Farfetch is its acquisition of LUXCLUSIF, a luxury resale platform, which enables it to engage with the growing market for pre-owned luxury goods. 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 managing their online presence.
