By GlobalData"This investment comes after strong inbound interest from investors, some of which we felt could really help Farfetch in our largest and fastest growing markets, or had exposure to marketplaces and luxury fashion."
Last March, the company expanded the site’s roster of retail partners to include direct contracts with brands.
