Farfetch
Farfetch is a British e-commerce company focused on luxury clothing and beauty products. It operates as a digital marketplace that sells products from several hundred brands, boutiques and department stores from around the world. In January 2024, the company was acquired by Coupang.
Farfetch was founded in June 2007 by Portuguese businessman José Neves as a marketplace for high-end fashion. The company was based in London and had a launch team of 5 people. Initially registered as Far-fetch.com Ltd from 2007- 2010, then Farfetch.com Ltd from 2010 - 2013, the company's idea was to connect small offline fashion boutiques with a global customer base using technology.
In 2015, Farfetch announced its acquisition of one of the boutiques in its network, London high end retailer Browns. According to Neves, the aim was a closer integration of online and offline shopping in a "seamless experience".
In June 2017, Farfetch acquired fashion e-commerce website Style.com from Conde Nast, the same month Chinese e-commerce company JD.com Inc. had bought a stake in Farfetch for $397 million.
In September 2018, Farfetch (FTCH.N) listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The IPO raised $885 million after the issue of 33.6 million new shares and early investors sold up to 10.6 million shares. It was reported that Neves will net $1.2 billion from the IPO.
On 24 September 2018, animal rights activist organization PETA announced that they had purchased shares that would allow them to attend annual shareholder meetings and stop the company from selling fur products.
In December 2018, Farfetch acquired sneaker reseller, Stadium Goods, for $250 million. Three months later, it agreed to merge its Chinese business with JD.com.
In August 2019, Farfetch acquired New Guards Group, the parent organisation of Off-White designer label for $675million. Immediately following the purchase, Farfetch's shares plunged by over 40 percent.
