We analyse what news from the Yoox/Net-A-Porter Group, Jimmy Choo and Farfetch tell us about luxury online and we look at how European expansion is paying off for Gear4Music.
We hear how Boden and John Lewis are using new technologies to make their businesses more efficient and effective across channels, while we also feature research into verification around age restricted goods.
