Celebs who love Telfar bags: Beyonce, A$AP Ferg to Oprah Winfrey, here's the full list
Beyonce was recently papped with Jay-Z on a brunch date in Brooklyn and like always, she broke the internet with her stunning outfit and an all-white Telfar Tote bag which she carried with aplomb. Queen Bey’s designer bag comes at a retail cost of $202 but only if it's available on the official website. This particular piece has been sold out for a while.
The Telfar bag, which also goes by the name of “Bushwick Birkin”, is the brainchild of designer Telfar Clemens who first launched the popular bags during his Autumn/Winter 2014 collection, but they did not gain momentum until 2017. According to The Cut, Clemens described his brand as “genderless, democratic, and transformative”. Celebs such as Bella Hadid, Solange Knowles, Dua Lipa, A$AP Ferg, and a few others have been spotted carrying the designer bag, making it more mainstream and equally difficult for people to get their hands on.
