Leading European luxury online retailer MyTheresa.com is aiming to capitalise on thriving demand from customers in South Korea with the launch of a Korean-language site.

The e-tailer, which sells luxury womenswear and accessories from the world’s most coveted brands including Chloé, Gucci, Miu Miu and Stella McCartney, said it has seen “huge growth potential” in South Korea.

“The Korean luxury market is moving quickly to digital. Ever since our first activities in Korea we have seen a massive consumer shift to digital and a triple-digit growth in the market,” said Mytheresa.com president Michael Kliger, adding that the launch was “a natural step” for the company.

The online fashion destination’s Korean website will offer free exchanges and returns within 30 days, including a free collection service, as well reliable 72-hour deliveries. It will also deliver a more personalised customer service and a Korean-speaking customer care team.

Additionally, Korean customers will be able to pay in euros if using Master Card, Visa or American Express.
