Two years ago, Marigay McKee -- then the flaxen-haired fashion forerunner at Harrods – was only starting to grasp the importance of e-commerce to the storied London department store’s future.
“We are just beginning on a journey to develop a site that matches the experience in store,” the fashion executive said in a 2011 interview with the trade website Business of Fashion. “There is an intense interest and a significant investment in developing Harrods.com to add revenue and prestige to the site.”
