About Farfetch

A distinguishing feature of Farfetch is its acquisition of LUXCLUSIF, a luxury resale platform, which enables it to cater to the growing demand for pre-owned luxury goods. The company's goal is to provide a seamless shopping experience for luxury fashion enthusiasts while supporting brands and retailers in expanding their reach.
