Why Telfar Bags Are In High Demand 

I love how committed Telfar is to the principle of accessibility, all the way down to the supply chain and manufacturing. I think this business model is almost one of those utopian fantasies, but Telfar is proof positive that it can work. Most companies just wouldn’t take that risk, and even Telfar was operating at a loss in the beginning. But I hope more designers and brands can start exploring this aspect of luxury; that luxury is about the collective imaginary and the way a product embodies that, more so than an arbitrary exclusivity imposed by an exorbitant price tag. I love my Telfar bag, would love it more so if it was leather-I wonder if there’s other options in terms of a textile that is sustainable, affordable, and vegan? My real major gripe with it is that THE STRAP IS TOO LONG!!!!! But I’m like 5’4 and it’s my fault for being 5’4 and I will carry this damn bag and have it hanging against my upper thigh and still move through the world feeling I have everything I need at hand in my colossal tote with its non-adjustable strap. Either way, Telfar is still relatively new as a brand, and I look forward to seeing what they do next, especially as they’ve refined their business model and made their supply chain a bit more robust. I really vibe with their aesthetic, their ethos, and I find that their creations fit in with the ‘everydayness’ that I like for my wardrobe. Is it too cringe to say that Telfar is one of those brands that reminds me that with the limited agency we have in this neoliberal hell, we can at least buy into an idea and feel like we’re part of something greater than ourselves?

i like his whole message behind the brand and how aggressively he sticks to it. he doesn't just say that it's for the people, he actually means it and it shows.

Telfar seems to be raising so much conversation that's surpassed the bag, the conceptual conversations and the social ones - which you touched on. That's peak artistry to me, makes me more excited about the fashion

I actually really like the bag, and I’m glad Telfar made it affordable so most people could buy it. I’d love to see him come out with more accessories and he the goat for tryna bring in affordable luxury

finally got one with the bag security and i know everyone in my life is so annoyed at me talking about it all the time. i love the brand and the concept that its luxury for everyone

It's mad interesting how much brands rely on accessories to make money, would be dope to see a full video on that topic if you haven't already made one

As someone from Germany, I haven't heard of this brand but I am already interested to invest my hard-earned money on this brand. Thank you for introducing me this brand!

My idea of luxury is how far the material can take the artist...like is the material properly reflecting what the artist wants. LUXURY=ART.

The silhouette makes a lot of sense and the story about the logo is so interesting!

Been waiting on this for a WHILE

I’ve been a fan of him since 2018 I’m so happy he is finally getting the recognition he deserves

I have 2 telfar bags and the hoop earrings! Love the quality of all the items.

I love that for once an authentic brand gets a sold-out it bag!

I been thinking a lot about the culture surrounding luxury and trendy fashion and I hate it. I believe fashion to be an art that tells a story and I love how Telfar promotes that the status symbol of the bag is about identity and experience. That artistic element combined with creating a quality product is what I believe luxury to truly be and what I wanna promote in my future brand. Sidenote, I really reallyy enjoy your videos and how you provide history, relevant quotes, numbers, etc in a way that is informative, interesting and to the point. (You're already a great journalist :) )

Same, I hold a similar standpoint on how (for me) luxury is equivalent to quality, I look at some of my dad’s clothes and gotta say some of them are 20-15 years old, but they still look pretty alright

I just want a Telfar bookbag because I prefer my bag on my back rather than one shoulder

Your explanation of Prada boots - in Croatia we call that: Porez na budale - meaning: Tax for fools ( when something is expensive just by association of brand).

i got one during the preorder and i am literally counting down the days until it arrives

Your channel helps educate consumers.

One of your best videos yet, keep up the good work

I love the focus on accessibility, but I do wonder how high quality the faux leather is? It would be a shame if a few years from now the telfar bags start filling up landfills because they've starting cracking and breaking. I'm pretty ignorant on whether fake leather can be made in a high quality way though so maybe my concern is misplaced. Great video as usual!

I really enjoyed the way you described the purpose of not only handbags but the way fashion is handled. I really am going to consider all of your points when pursing designer products in the future and think about how an item reflects my style. Awesome content. Keep going

Loved the video. Thank you so much for talking about telfar as I think brands like telfar will be the new big name houses. I mean at least I think that in the future they'll hold more relevance than for example LV or Burberry because of their ability to adapt (I mean that bag security system was absolutely ingenious) and generally to speak to a younger more diverse audience who just aren't interested in brands like that anymore. Also congrats on the magazine and the tote bags, really looking forward to support you in that 😍

You just made me a fan of the Telfar Bag...great video!! Wow

This was hella thorough! Thanks!

Really liked this video, very cool to see a brand that feels committed to fashion as a culture and community.

notifications are ON i love this channel

Really like how you explain and narrate stories behind the fashion.

I completely agree about your vision about what luxury should be, that is to say very high quality products rather than a price indicator (Shoutout Virgil I see you). All the things I knew about was Telfar so far was taken from Loïc Prigent's video, so I thank you to still be this informative. I've not studied in depth Telfar's collection; still I think he brings kind of a fresh air in this industry. He seems to have a great personality, ti be humble and above all, genuine and I think that is the main point because nowadays, people favor authenticity, that may sound paradoxical in such a post-Instagram society, but I actually think that among all these fakes, what becomes rare is authenticity. Therefore being authentic and genuine is almost always a winning way to do things. As you mentioned, Clement is really involved in the communities he promotes and his approach of denying exclusivity in a time where everyone looks after exclusivity, demonstrate that he's got values and that's not the majority in his industry e specifically about the Bag itself, I appreciate the design but I don't think I'll buy one any soon, the price though, really surprised me, it's kind of affordable, I mean 257$ at max, that's a statement itself. Well here there is another designer I'll probably support in the future in a way or another Thank you Ayo for another great video, I'm looking forward to seeing your first magazine, I hope it comes very soon, and see you for the next video ! Peace !

I adore your channel- I learn so much. I’ll be a mag & tote bad pre-orderer. I’m older, so hv a good grasp on “older fashion” but you help me stay on top of the ‘younger gens’ which I ❤️. Plus, your sensibility, whether looking at the ‘olds’ or ‘young’s’ is so refreshing. Going to become a Patreon ✅🌻 Please keep the great info/profiles coming- and BTW, I’d love to get a Telfar bag!! While I appreciate high-end bags, my personal Vice is finding fun vintage- cusp brands of the mid-century. The Telfar vibe & bag motto speak to me. May nd to wait until next August to order though 😩(but thx for that info!)

This video was very interesting!! I had no idea about how big their sale were! Incredible for such a young brand

Love tuning into your channel. I work within the fashion industry and I always learn something new from you. Keep up the great work! Now I want a Telfar bag 💼

This tee looks so good on you!

I learn sooooo much from your videos. thank you so much for enlightening me with ur knowledge xoxo

I been seeing these bags all year. Crazy

Ty, wanted to know more about Telfar ❤️

The idea of luxury within the fashion industry/world is definitely changed & people or color are driving it!!!! I love it

awesome video! I've been wanting to know more about this designer and his brand.

Telfar is one of my favs. I was gonna order a bag when he did that thing in august, but i don't love the color options. there's a lot of colors just not what i was looking for. I should have just gotten the black. welp missed my chance.

THANK YOU FOR THIS

Loved this video and how you looked at the topic from all possible angles! When you mentioned the issue of quality, I was wondering: would you consider making a video about brands that still have extremely high quality standards vs. brands whose quality has declined? Sorry if you've already covered this.

I just came across your videos I love them btw subscribed already and I want to buy your merch can’t wait to you release them and keep doing what your doing 💖💖💖

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

I love this channel😭

This video was great thank you so much

Great infos, thanks for the vid !!!

Used the bag security program so I could finally get one lol. Super exited to get it!

Love the idea of authenticity and inclusivity as being part of Telfar’s DNA from the get-go. I just wonder what the quality is like for the faux leather.

this video was super informative and interesting thank youu

Such an interesting brand. I love the meaning of the brand, it's so pure and so inclusive, just real!

Great content, thx 🙏

I got my first bag tuesday on the oxblood restock! I am excited to receive it and use it. However the reselling of the bag at $500 because it is sold out is stressing me LOL people are posting them for sale even though they only have a confirmed order and no bag.

I follow a lot of the fashion gworls on twitter. It was nice seeing the wave of people of wanting it rising up. I want to get one but I don't want to be a beg LOL

After watched your video, I just wanna have Telfar bag more than ever!

Eloquently explained, as usual

Completely agree with this & love this video!

Thank you 🖤

Imo I never understood the hype. The bag is a basic design and based on reviews of the longevity of the bag, the quality seems quite low. The designer and what the brand stands for is amazing. I just feel it’s kinda lacking and the big TC logo is somewhat tacky, but that is just my opinion; I’m not a fan of big logos on merchandise.

this channel >>>

Great video! Can you get more detail about the process of how they made the bag? And the materials that is used? I know some of what I asked is on the website but its vague and I’m interested in the process.

I like you breakdown of the Brand and what it stands for.

I LOVE TELFAR!!

I haven't really caught on to TELFAR. Thanks for the knowledge

Ngl I am tempted to buy it after seeing AOC wearing it. It looks like it would fit all my work stuff! Gonna check out their website now 😂

Wow telfie is really the way to go!!! so happy i got to cop mine before all of this meshy mess! Lol

Very well said.

Ugh the Telfar X Whitecastle parties were THE best! I have an Vlog on my channel if you’re curious. But it was a beautiful space to be in.

imma feel so sick walking around sixth form with my fashion archive tote bag

I literally ordered every bag size this morning in black! I'm so excited to get it !!!

Do more livestreams brooo love ya work!

By studying sociology and branding, I've learned that consumers are not passive, they're active, they have more access to information, they have a bigger knowledge about certain things and they can build easily their opinions and that's way they're expecting from brands to be more engage to important matters like global warming and the black lives Matter movement. They're asking them not to be impartial, instead they should take a position. In a world where unfortunately there are still forms of racism, Telfar is one of the modern fashion brands that are trying to promote inclusivity in a genuine way and that's way the brand is gaining a well deserved success. Other than that, I think telfar's bags are veeeeery practical, they can be used not only by people interested in fashion, but also by the general public. Btw I love your contents! I have to prepare a photography exam and I have to do a fashion editorial, but I still don't know where I could find the clothes, do you have any tips?

Till this day still trying to get one🥺

I think a lot of Luxury brands fake exclusivity, but with the price increases recently involving the major luxury houses, the message I get is that their only inclusive of those who can AFFORD to constantly purchase their products (purchase history, etc.,.)

I don't have a telfar bag; I just purchased one from stock x. I am currently waiting for it .

I agree with your view on luxury louis Vuitton is extremely expensive; I have a couple of pieces what I finally realized is their quality is very poor.

love telfar! He Deserves all the success in the world! AOC was just wearing it!

Hey guys what do you think about my idea of becoming a tailor? Is it a good intro to fashion? Or would I just waste my time? I know it’s not related to the video but I want to talk about this on a fashion minded space :)

Did the teacher design the logo for Tevin Campbell’s best of Tevin Campbell album? I swear they’re so much alike 😭 no shade just wondering.

Lux = quality

Yessirksii

love the video, that goatee is really distracting tho haha

hmm I wonder why it popped off. was there a telfar tipping point?

No idea

Been saving my money on the bag since January 2020 but everytime I get on their website it's always sold out smh 😥

Got my Telfar bag way before the hype (over 1,5 year ago). This was my must-have piece since I'm strictly into vegan fashion. And I just want to point out the great quality of the faux leather used on this bag and encourage anyone skeptical about the material to really look beyond of just seeing leather only as the final product but to go deeper into what's the process like of getting a real leather

i want a bag because it is BLACK MADE AND BLACK OWN!!!!

WTC that shirt? its sick

Okay so, when is the next preorder date to sign up

I like what the designer and brand stand for but for me that is the laziest design I’ve heard and seen.He measured another bag and copied on it a logo that he didn’t even designed wich is uninspired anyways. Anyone can put his initials on a bag but that doesn’t make it fashion.

Telfar makes fucking sick clothing too tho😳

sergio tacchini?

I have 3 Telfar bags and pieces of clothing. I don’t see the fascination.

to me it was black twitter that made this bag viral

Cause I don't understand. They look like shopping bags, however...I love to see that it's a black owned designer

🤚🏽 ✋ Has anyone noticed his LOGO is EXACTLY the same as Tevin Campbell’s “The Best from Tevin Campbell” ALBUM COVER?

Im mexican and i own a telfar bag

I find you beautiful man🥰

I was watching u wayyy back but I just got this video made an assigned watch for fashion school. U making educational shit fr lmaooooo

Rather ingenious to measure a Bloomies bag considering they prob. put a lot of testing to ensure this is the right bag for their needs.
