Footwear, handbag and accessory brand CHARLES & KEITH is participating in the inaugural Metaverse Fashion Week hosted on Decentraland and with it, the brand is launching cryptocurrency as a payment mode on its e-commerce site. In doing so, CHARLES & KEITH stands out as the first Singapore fashion label to offer cryptocurrency as a transaction mode on its e-commerce platform. This means that customers who own cryptocurrency can purchase goods simply by scanning a QR code at checkout.
For MVFW, CHARLES & KEITH will have a luxury marketplace presence and the first 1,000 avatar visitors to the metaverse booth will get a complimentary Koa bag and Alex sandals wearables. Limited-edition accessories can also be won in the real world by sharing content on social media.
