The branded Square reader is black lacquer-like, and features the Chinese symbol for double happiness in red. Inspired by Tam's 'China Chic' style and representative of her personal mantra, two characters for happiness (xi) are joined to express the joy of wedded union.

The 'Double Happiness' Square represents the worlds of technology and fashion hand in hand. "I believe this will resonate with customers -- it's cutting edge, and easy to use. It will inspire women to start or grow their businesses," said Tam.
"We're thrilled to partner with a world class talent like Vivienne on the first ever branded Square reader," said Jack Dorsey co-founder and CEO. "She has continuously demonstrated that she applies beautiful aesthetics to technology."
