Initially available only to Mytheresa's customers in Europe, the collections will be further distributed to all customers in the U.S., Canada, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific on Wednesday. This development turns Mytheresa into Prada 's partner with global distribution.

"We are very proud to be now able to offer the wonderful collections of Prada worldwide to our loved customers," said Michael Kliger, chief executive officer of Mytheresa. "We are very thankful for our successful and strong partnership with Prada and deeply appreciate the trust in us."

To mark this development, Mytheresa is launching a dedicated editorial story photographed by Jorin Koers and featuring models Sara Blomqvist and Kim Artur.

In 2016, Mytheresa was chosen as one of only two exclusive online retailers to carry a broad selection of Prada ready-to-wear, bags and shoes.

A year later, Mytheresa inked a key collaboration with Prada and Miu Miu, as well as with brands ranging from Gucci and Chloé to Off-White, Dolce & Gabbana and Valentino .

As reported, Mytheresa is set to finalize its purchase of  Yoox Net-a-porter  from Compagnie Financière Richemont on Wednesday, with the aim of creating a luxury e-commerce mega-group comprising Mytheresa, Net-a-porter and Mr Porter. The group will include the off-season discount retailers Yoox and The Outnet, which will be run separately.

Mytheresa will buy 100 percent of  YNAP  and, after the deal is finalized, the parent company will be called LuxExperience B.V. Its ticker will be changed to "LUXE" on the  New York Stock Exchange .

In the medium term, the goal is to become a 4 billion-euro GMV per annum business with an adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization margin of more than 8 percent.

Earlier this month, the Prada Group confirmed it is acquiring 100 percent of  Versace  from Capri Holdings for 1.25 billion euros. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2025.
