Here\u2019s how Citibank described the combined entity in a note: \u201cNo other players match Yoox\/NAP\u2019s breadth of sourcing, client base, geographic reach, technological know-how, logistics efficiency and luxury expertise and relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yes, presumably that means you, Amazon.<\/p>\n

On the plus side, the combination of the two, which will be most apparent in their back-office operations, may lead to much better, faster delivery globally, more fun content on both sites (the Yoox chief executive, Federico Marchetti, calls the brand an \u201center-tailer\u201d \u2014 i.e., an entertaining e-tailer \u2014 while Net is more editorial in nature) and more personally tailored interaction.<\/p>\n

The latter being, for me, the one eyebrow-raising bit of this marriage of equals.<\/p>\n

After all, just think about the customer information now available to the group, which between the main sites (yoox.com\u00a0and\u00a0netaporter.com) and their fully owned brethren (theoutnet.com,\u00a0mrporter.com,\u00a0shoescribe.com\u00a0and\u00a0thecorner.com) will have a giant foothold in beauty, men\u2019s wear, women\u2019s wear, sale shopping and shoe shopping.<\/p>\n
