FARFETCH is a global e-commerce platform for luxury fashion boutiques, that since launching in 2008, has grown to operate in over 190 countries and offer more than 1,200 brands. Founded by Portuguese entrepreneur José Neves simply for his ’love of fashion’, FARFETCH takes an unusual approach for a company of its type and stature – holding no inventory and, instead, acting as a marketplace for brands, boutiques and department stores to sell their wares. In addition to its own online retail entity, FARFETCH provides e-commerce and technology capabilities to other fashion companies such as Browns and Stadium Goods; creates their own luxury products; and helps fledgeling brands to develop through its New Guards platform.
