Holders of an American Express Centurion[3] card will soon be able to make purchases by linking their card to a wearable contactless payments chip embedded in a leather bracelet created by Italian fashion house Prada[4].
“Crafted from the finest full-grain Saffiano — a Prada speciality — the double-wrap bracelet is all black save for the metal buckle and an imperceptibly small microchip housed within, which facilitates seamless payment in the same way as a contactless credit card or Apple Pay on a phone,” a product preview in GQ magazine says[5].
The bracelet is the first Prada accessory to incorporate wearable payments technology and will be made available only to American Express members with an invitation-only Centurion card.
