Ballerific Fashion: A Guide to Getting Your Hands on a Telfar Bag

Queen Bey made it clear when she sang, “this Telfar bag imported. Birkins, them sh*ts in storage,” on “Summer Renaissance.”

Founded by Telfar Clemens, these designated “It Girl” bags are hard to get, so when you see them, you better run–not walk.

If you’ve been trying to get your hands on a Telfar bag, this guide is for you!

Telfar.net: 

First things first–know that Telfar.net is the only site selling Telfars from the house name; there are some fake websites portraying to be the actual house name when it’s actuality, it’s not real.

Social Media:

Telfar bags are known to sell out within minutes upon restocking or new releases. One way to stay prepared is to follow the brand on Instagram and turn on notifications.

Email Listserv: 

If social media isn’t your thing, the TELFAR site allows customers to read up on the latest– also allowing users to subscribe to the newsletters, alerting them of restocks and new arrivals. If you scroll to the bottom of the page, you can click “Subscribe” and add your information from there.

Another subscription you’ll have to do separately is to subscribe to Telfar TV. Telfar TV shows the users receiving their purses, totes, and accessories while alerting new arrivals and restocks. Not only will you get access to Telfar TV, but you can be on Telfar TV.

All you have to do is fill out the inquiry form, and you might get an email back! Make sure to check your Spam!

Bag Security Program:

Say if all else fails, and you still miss the opportunity to get your hands on a Telfar bag. Customers have the option to be a part of the Bag Security Program.

The Bag Security Program usually comes twice a year and lets you reserve and purchase as many shopping bags (no circle bags, duffle bags, or collaborations) and receive them later. No matter the color, size, or shopping bag. The deal typically lasts 4-5 days, and you can pay in full or use Klarna. The shopping bags don’t have a specific schedule but are usually promised to you by a particular date. This may be the perfect opportunity to get a bag–make sure you follow Instagram or subscribe to emails to find out when the next Bag Security Program is.

Third-Party Websites: 

Finally, third-party websites like StockX and GOAT carry the black-owned brand’s bags. The only downside is that Telfar bags retail at a reasonable price on the original site, whereas the third-party sites will indeed upsell the bags since they are in such high demand!

If you are on the hunt for a Telfar Bag, the most recommended option is the Bag Security Program–it’s guaranteed, and you can get as many as you want. However, if you live in a big city like New York City, you can always try your luck at Telfar’s Rainbow bag events.

Residents in the Big Apple were lucky enough to see the pop-up shop in person–however, it’s first come, first serve, so it’s never guaranteed you’ll receive a bag until you cash out!
