Forget cash, now you can pay for your Gucci slides and bags using bitcoin

Italian luxury brand Gucci will start accepting payments in cryptocurrencies in some of its stores in the US.

Customers will be able to pay using crypto including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin.

The popular brand says it will also take payments in Shiba and Dogecoin too.

Customers paying in stores with cryptocurrencies will be sent an email with a QR code to use with a digital asset wallet.

Flagship stores will trial the new payment method but a nation wide roll-out is expected soon.

So later this month, head to Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles and New York’s Wooster Street if you wish to pay with virtual currencies.

Gucci joins Microsoft and coffee chain Starbucks in allowing customers to use crypto in all transactions, alongside the US dollar.
