Dubai, UAE, June 26, 2016: Since its creation in 1872, the brand founded by Simon Tissot-Dupont has always considered that its exacting standards as “Malletier of Kings” go hand in hand with giving its clients complete peace of mind. Aristocrats sang the praises of its beautiful leather luggage and its legendary robustness, which enabled them to travel without having to worry about their personal effects. In this day and age where technology is ever-present, peace of mind now comes from knowing that personal data is safe. For this reason, in 2016, S.T.Dupont is incorporating an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) protection system into its small leather goods to prevent the theft of personal data. S.T.Dupont is the only luxury leather goods brand to offer this advantage. RFID – A TARGET FOR FRAUDSTERS:
RFID is an electronic method enabling radio identification. This technology has been incorporated into numerous devices. Amongst other applications, it can be used to make contactless credit card payments, and features in some passports, identity cards and driving licences. However, it is also a form of technology that can be easily hacked. No contact is required for hacking to take place; personal data can be captured, read, stored and copied in a just few seconds, while waiting in a queue, for example. Electronic security specialists estimate that 10 million people have their personal data stolen in this manner every year. WALLETS THAT PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA:
S.T.Dupont is breaking new ground by becoming the first luxury leather goods brand to incorporate a device called D-Gital into its “Fire Head”, “Ligne D” and “Défi” wallet lines, indicated by the presence of a specific card. This innovative technology, patented and approved by the German certification laboratory TÜV, is a specific material made from an alloy of nylon and metal integrated into the lining of the card compartments. It blocks the signal emitted by the RFID system and makes it impossible to hack. In accordance with trunk-making tradition, this innovation functions without the slightest compromise to quality or pleasure, as the material is integrated into the structure of the wallet and does not alter its aesthetics in any way. Furthermore, this technique poses no risk of payment card demagnetisation and does not interfere with telephone signals. Finally, the material used offers excellent endurance. D-GITAL, A PERFECT COMBINATION OF ANCESTRAL EXPERTISE AND TECHNOLOGY:
With this innovation, S.T.Dupont is demonstrating once again that the excellent expertise of its master trunk-makers can superbly satisfy contemporary concerns. These new wallets remain true to the principle responsible for the success of the French brand since 1872: giving refined travellers the luxury of high-end leather goods, and the peace of mind that enables them to fully enjoy them.
