Swiss luxury conglomerate Richemont sold a stake in its online retail business YNAP to Farfetch Ltd., taking a $2.7 billion hit from its failed effort to attract rival high-end brands to the digital sales platform.
Following months of talks, e-commerce rival Farfetch will acquire 47.5% of YNAP, which includes the Yoox and Net-a-Porter brands, with Richemont retaining 49.3%.
