It will launch in May.
Luxury conglomerate LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, whose portfolio includes Bulgari and other jewelry and watch brands, is planning a broad-based e-commerce site, the Financial Times reports.
The site is slated to launch in May. It will be called Le Bon Marché, which is the name of a department store that LVMH owns in France.
The site will sell all of LVMH’s brands plus those of other luxury-goods companies, according to the Financial Times.
Business of Fashion reports: “It is unclear if the new online iteration of Le Bon Marché will operate on a wholesale or marketplace model, although wholesale is the likely avenue.”
The new e-commerce effort will put LVMH in competition with sites such as Farfetch, Net-A-Porter and Matchesfashion.com.
In addition to Bulgari, LVMH’s extensive brand catalog includes names such as Hublot, TAG Heuer, Christian Dior and Louis Vuitton.

Four Decades of Excellence: How Wilkerson Transformed a Jeweler's Retirement into Celebration
After 45 years serving the Milwaukee community, Treiber & Straub Jewelers owner Michael Straub faced a significant life transition. At 75, the veteran jeweler made a personal decision many business owners understand: "I think it's time. I want to enjoy my wife with my grandchildren for the next 10, 15 years."
Wilkerson's expertise transformed this major business transition into an extraordinary success. Their comprehensive approach to managing the going-out-of-business sale created unprecedented customer response—with lines forming outside the store and limits on how many shoppers could enter at once due to fire safety regulations.
The results exceeded all expectations. "Wilkerson did a phenomenal job," Straub enthuses. "They were there for you through the whole thing, helped you with promoting it, helping you on day-to-day business. I can't speak enough for how well they did." The partnership didn't just facilitate a business closing; it created a celebratory finale to decades of service while allowing Straub to confidently step into his well-earned retirement.
