In this bold new chapter, Mytheresa, NET-A-PORTER, and MR PORTER will preserve their distinctive brand DNA, each maintaining its curated point of view and loyal clientele, while leveraging shared back-end infrastructure for smarter scalability.
Meanwhile, the off-price players (YOOX and THE OUTNET) will operate as a fully separate division, creating cleaner brand architecture. It will also curate a more focused, efficient business model across both luxury and value segments. How will this changing the online shopping game?
For the discerning Emirates woman, this means unparalleled access to the most coveted labels, sharper curation, and an elevated digital shopping experience. Michael Kliger, Mytheresa's CEO, calls it a 'game-changer,' promising multiple distinguished storefronts under one umbrella, each retaining its unique identity while leveraging shared infrastructure.
Imagine the best of Mytheresa's sharp edit, NET-A-PORTER's runway-ready selections, and MR PORTER's menswear mastery, all with the operational precision that luxury shoppers demand.
Financially, the ambition is as grand as the vision. Mytheresa's CFO, Martin Beer, projects €3 billion (over Dhs12 billion) in annual sales, scaling to €4 billion (over Dhs 16 billion) with industry-leading profitability.
