In January 2024, Coupang Inc. completed its acquisition of Farfetch's business and assets through Surpique LP for $500 million following a pre-pack administration process amid financial challenges, delisting the company from the NYSE under ticker FTCH (now trading OTC as FTCHF or FTCHQ) and enabling operational continuity with investments in technology and global expansion; recent activities include the Fall/Winter 2025 campaign launch featuring brands like Miu Miu, Valentino Garavani, Dolce&Gabbana, and Ferragamo, alongside Holiday Exclusives and Browns initiatives such as Parlour beauty retreat and The Cult of Winter experience in late 2025.
