European online beauty retailer Feelunique has entered a partnership to launch a Chinese e-commerce platform Secoo.

Scheduled to be launched during the fourth quarter of this year, the store will offer an additional channel for Feelunique to serve China’s fast-growing online beauty market, which already accounts for 20% of Feelunique’s sales.

Through the collaboration, Feelunique will be able to access Secoo’s Chinese customer base of more than 20 million high net-worth members.

Orders placed through the store on Secoo will be fulfilled by Feelunique’s distribution centre located in Hong Kong, which will begin operations this October.

Feelunique CEO Joel Palix said: “Feelunique’s expertise in cross-border beauty and Secoo’s considerable customer base in China is a powerful combination. I am hugely excited by the offering we will jointly bring to Chinese consumers demanding high-quality international beauty brands from a trusted retailer.

“This is an exceptional opportunity to accelerate Feelunique’s penetration of this large and growing beauty market alongside a distinguished luxury e-commerce platform.”

“With Secoo’s base of 20 million members spending an average of $500 per order, this is an exceptional opportunity to accelerate Feelunique’s penetration of this large and growing beauty market alongside a distinguished luxury e-commerce platform.”
