Almost Double The Profit For Online Luxury Store – 19/11/09

Italian online retailer Yoox, which sells premium luxury brands like Armani and Prada, has reported a 48.8 percent rise in sales over the first nine months of the year. They also launched an initial public offering (IPO) in Milan this week.

Their award-winning website, yoox.com, seemed full of heavy discounting and what they deemed “accessible prices” – making it a bargain lover’s paradise, and a site to keep our eye on.
