“In Q3, the company was even able to accelerate its growth rate,” said General Manager Michael Kliger, adding that “we set a fresh record in terms of new buyers in the [third] quarter, and these new customers are showing higher-than-before repeat purchasing rates. Also, we are seeing a strong increase in spending by our top customers, who are beginning to return to pre-pandemic levels of activity, enjoying social events and holidays. We recorded robust growth in nearly all regions, especially in the USA, where we posted a sales rise in excess of 76%.”

The number of MyTheresa’s active customers increased by 24% on an annual basis, up to 621,000. And in Q3, the website posted a record growth in first-time buyers, whose number exceeded the Q2 record of over 100,000.
