The British luxury online fashion merchant Net-a-Porter has raised their revenues in 2008 to the level of 81.5 million pounds ($134 million).
"The strength of online shopping for those that can get the business model right has been underlined by Net-a-Porter, the web-only luxury fashion retailer, which more than trebled pre-tax profits last year.
According to accounts filed with Companies House, the privately held London-based business increased sales by 47.8 per cent to £81.5m in the 12 months to January 31.

Growth has continued into 2009 with trading for the first 13 weeks of the year up 45.3 per cent over the same period in 2008, according to Mark Sebba, chief executive."
