Global fashion platform Farfetch has introduced its flagship store on Chinese retailer JD.com, following the merger of JD.com’s luxury shopping platform, Toplife, into Farfetch China in February this year.

The Chinese retailer offered a Level 1 entry point to Fartech on its platform, which allows its 300 million customers to access more than 3,000 brands through the fashion retailer’s network of over 1,000 luxury brand and boutique partners.
