Its adjusted operating profit rose to €28.5 million (£24.7 million), a colossal 113.3 per cent rise on the previous year.

Mytheresa has expanded its menswear collection and launched exclusive capsule collections and pre-launches with designers including Valentino, Moncler, Dolce & Gabbana, Loewe, Christian Louboutin and Max Mara.

The retailer achieved a record number of first time buyers, totalling over 100,000 in the three months to December 2020.

“Even considering clear tailwinds, the strong results of the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 confirm once more our strategy and unique business model: Mytheresa is about inspiration not aggregation,” Mytheresa chief executive Michael Kliger said.

“It is about an unrivalled, highly curated offering, a focus on high-end luxury customers, sophisticated technologies and a first-class in-house managed service experience.

“Our full commitment to acquire and retain the best customer base in the market creates a reinforcing cycle of outstanding brand relationships that feed a superior customer value proposition to generate strong customer economics, which allows us to stay true to our strategic focus. Therefore, we will continue to deliver growth as well as profitability.”

Mytheresa expects a strong performance for the financial year ending June 30.

However, it is expecting the sales rise to slow down as shops reopen on the high street.

For the financial year, it predicts sales to be in the range of €565 million (£489.9 million) to €580 million (£50.9 million), representing a growth between 26 per cent and 29 per cent.

Last month, Mytheresa raised $407 million (£297 million) in a US IPO after parent company MYT Netherlands Parent sold around 15.65 million depositary shares for $26 (£18.98) each.

The shares begun trading on the New York Stock Exchange on January 21, and the offering closed on January 25.

The listing was underwritten by Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, Credit Suisse, UBS, Jefferies and Cowen.

Eagle Labs launches impirica CBD brand

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Eagle Labs has launched impirica, a new brand of CBD intended to eliminate consumer fear, and increase confidence, in trying the exciting new cannabidiol category. Michael Law Although most Americans have now heard about CBD, many are very confused and concerned about product quality. This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...
