Mr Porter launched in 2011 as the men's counterpart to Net-a-Porter. The editorial point of view leans tailored and contemporary, with deep coverage of the European houses, sneakers and contemporary streetwear layered in, and a solid grooming + lifestyle bench.
The Mr Porter experience is unusually polished for menswear: editorial content sits alongside product, the journal pieces are genuinely worth reading, and the packaging and customer service match the women's side. Selection is narrower than Farfetch men's or SSENSE men's, but everything that makes the cut is well-edited.
Fetchi indexes its own network of authorised men's retailers and brand-direct stores. A menswear piece is often stocked by several of them at different prices and with different sale timing. Fetchi shows every retailer in the network that stocks the piece on one row, ranked by live price.
