“The fashion and beauty categories, together, form an extremely fragmented market, still little digitized and with a total size of BRL 223 billion a year. Its online potential could reach 67 billion soon”, said the Magazine Luiza’s Fashion and Beauty executive director, Silvia Machado.
Magazine Luiz entered the fashion segment in 2019, with the acquisition of Netshoes and Zattini – conquering a relevant market share right from the start. Last year, it bought Hubsales, starting to connect fashion manufacturers directly to the final consumer through its marketplace.
