To find the product $$ 2.6 \times 0.59 $$, we can first convert the numbers into a more manageable form.

1. Calculate $$ 2.6 \times 0.59 $$:
   $$
   2.6 \times 0.59 = 2.6 \times \frac{59}{100} = \frac{2.6 \times 59}{100}
   $$

2. Now, calculate $$ 2.6 \times 59 $$:
   $$
   2.6 \times 59 = 2.6 \times (50 + 9) = 2.6 \times 50 + 2.6 \times 9
   $$
   $$
   2.6 \times 50 = 130
   $$
   $$
   2.6 \times 9 = 23.4
   $$
   $$
   2.6 \times 59 = 130 + 23.4 = 153.4
   $$

3. Now, divide by 100:
   $$
   \frac{153.4}{100} = 1.534
   $$

Thus, the product $$ 2.6 \times 0.59 $$ is $$ \boxed{1.534} $$.
The product is 1.534.
