Amazon in Talks to Acquire Luxury Retailer Net-a-Porter

Forbes.com: Amazon.com is in talks to buy luxury online retailer Net-a-Porter but a deal is far from complete. The negotiations could lead to Amazon’s largest acquisition ever. But the talks could still fall apart, as the negotiations remain in early stages. Amazon has long coveted the high-end fashion retail sector and any deal for Net-a-Porter, which is owned by Swiss firm Compagnie Financière Richemont Richemont, would represent a new commitment to an area where the Seattle e-commerce giant lacks a commanding presence.
