Lock In A Telfar Shopping Bag With 24-Hour ‘Bag Security Program’ Pre-Order

Telfar has been trending on Twitter all summer long, thanks to overwhelming demand for the label’s famed Shopping Bag silhouette aka the Brooklyn Birkin. Unfortunately for fans of the bag, Twitter has become a gathering place for those who weren’t fast enough to grab a bag during a pre-announced drop.

While having having demand exceed supply is usually viewed businesses as an excellent state of affairs, the brand’s founder/owner Telfar Clemens has consistently emphasized the label isn’t interested in following a scarcity model. In keeping with the brand’s “Telfar Not for You for Everyone” tagline, Telfar has announced plans for a 24-hour Shopping Bag pre-buy described as the Bag Security Program that takes place on August 29, 2020.

According to an announcement on the brand’s website, “We feel all the love we are getting, and we feel the frustration too. We are not about hype and scarcity. We didn’t set out to make an impossible to get product. The whole point of our bag is accessibility and community.”

The statement went on to explain that the main reason the brand is running into shortages is because of challenges of planning production as a small-sized company. The statement adds, “But the truth is (with or without the bots and resellers) when thousands of bags sell per second we can’t even know how many to make. We plan production 6 months in advance. It takes time and money to make bags and we are 100% self-financed.”

In an effort to provide everyone with a bag who wants a bag, Telfar has announced plans for a one-day pre-order Bag Security Program whereby all sizes of the silhouette in all colors will be available for 24 hours. Bags will be delivered no later than January 15th.

The rules for purchase are very specific. The bag must be paid for in full, including shipping and taxes. There are no refunds, cancellations or changes once the order is made. Bags are guaranteed to arrive between December 15th and January 15th.

Following the 24-hour pre-order opportunity, Telfar will continue to drop first-come-first-serve Shopping Bags drops. According to the brand, “We will continue to do bag drops between now and January. Those are bags we ordered months ago. It may look like your bag, but it’s not your bag.”

Telfar’s August 19th pre-order Bag Security Program opens at 9:00 AM EST and shops down 24 hours later. Bags are available in small, medium or large priced at $150, $202 and $257 respectively.

The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her care The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her career as a professional tennis player in the September issue of American Vogue.

In the cover story, which is a must read, Williams shares some thoughts on her evolution away from tennis and says,"Believe me, I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family. I don’t think it’s fair. If I were a guy, I wouldn’t be writing this because I’d be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family. Maybe I’d be more of a Tom Brady if I had that opportunity. Don’t get me wrong: I love being a woman, and I loved every second of being pregnant with Olympia. I was one of those annoying women who adored being pregnant and was working until the day I had to report to the hospital—although things got super complicated on the other side. And I almost did do the impossible: A lot of people don’t realize that I was two months pregnant when I won the Australian Open in 2017."

The cover editorial was styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, who in 2020 became the first black woman to style a U.S. Vogue cover.

This cover was also one of the last projects hairstylist #LatishaChong worked on before  she sadly passed away in July this year.

Make-up by Raisa Flowers, nails by Dawn Sterling, and photography by Luis Alberto Rodriguez.
