Selfridges has launched a shoppable app with a personalised home page

Selfridges’ app, which will be available to iPhone users, includes ‘shop-by-Instagram’ functionality that allows users to buy products featured on its Instagram feed.

It also features a personalised home page, which will update users on new products and collections based on their past purchases.

Selfridges’ app also includes a store finder feature and will provide editorial content as part of a move by many retailers to use self-created content to drive sales.

The app has native functionality and users can sync their accounts across mobile and desktop devices.

The department store retailer, which posted a 3.4% rise in its full-year operating profits to £155m in November, opened a Body Studio to cater to the growing athleisure trend as part of its ongoing Oxford Street flagship transformation last month.
