As part of the deal, Ferragamo will leverage Farfetch technology to power its website and omni-channel capabilities. The brand will also work with Farfetch on digital advertising and expand its presence on the luxury platform’s marketplace.

The aim is to fuel “plans to reach new, younger audiences and accelerate our growth,” Gobbetti said in a statement.
