Mytheresa’s sales for the third quarter were up 27.5 per cent on the same period in 2019, to £114.8million. The pandemic has triggered a boom in online shopping. 

Over those three months, Mytheresa made a profit of £8.7million compared to a loss of £3.9million a year earlier.

In the UK online retailers such as Boohoo and The Hut have seen sales hold firm this year.

Mytheresa is owned by Ares and CPPIB. 

The retailer started life as aboutique in Munich, but in 2006 its married founders Susanne and Christoph Botschen decided to take the shop online.
