The German luxury e-commerce platform plans to rename itself LuxExperience to reflect its expanded scope, following the ongoing acquisition of the four YNAP sites (Net-A-Porter, Mr Porter, Yoox and The Outnet) from Switzerland’s Richemont.

 

A new luxury e-commerce group, LuxExperience, is soon to be born.

 

New…well, not quite. LuxExperience is the new name Mytheresa has in mind for its entire business, which will add the four YNAP online retailers Net-A-Porter, Mr Porter, Yoox and The Outnet to its initial base.
