Amazon Secretly Running High End Store
from the going-upscale dept
Amazon apparently launched a high-end luxury goods store for eLuxury (a division of Europeaan conglomerate LVMH), but they haven't officially announced the agreement. This seems to be similar to any of Amazon's recently announced outsourcing deals with companies like Toys R Us or Target - except that the type or merchandise is much more high end. Amazon admits that the store was launched in November, but no announcement was made because they're waiting for a mysterious "second phase" to be completed first.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
