The selective marketplace we launched on our French website last November continues to show an outstanding performance , already reaching 20 % of our French online GMV in the first half . Our ongoing onboarding of new partners enables us to offer over nearly 600 brands to our customers , with customer experience steadily at par with our own ecommerce activity . As we enter the second half of the year , uncertainty in the environment remains high due to recent and ongoing supply chain disruption in Asia , as well as possible impact of the pandemic on commercial activity . Despite the adverse context , our excellent performance to date enables us to confirm our full - year guidance , and I trust our teams to remain fully focused on everyday operational excellence and our strategic priorities .
