Is Mytheresa set to acquire YNAP?

After what has been a long and, seemingly, tedious sales process, Swiss luxury giant Richemont may have finally found a buyer for its loss-making e-commerce platform Yoox Net-a-Porter (YNAP). It has been reported that German luxury e-tailer Mytheresa is close to snapping up what had been its online rival after formerly interested parties, Bain Capital and Permira, were understood to have dropped out.
