Telfar is a multi-award-winning fashion label designed by Telfar Clemens. It has become increasingly popular in recent years, especially since Beyoncé was spotted wearing a Telfar handbag back in 2019. The brand has become a popular choice among celebrities, with many of them opting for Telfar bags as a fashionable and sustainable choice. The bags are made from 100% vegan leather and are also known for their minimalist and modern design.

But who is Telfar Clemens?

Telfar Clemens is a Liberian-American fashion designer based in New York City. He is best known for his unisex fashion line Telfar, which he launched in 2005, and his handbags became more and more popular, they became known as the “Bushwiwck Birkin.” (Some of the fashion girlies briefly got in their feelings about Beyonce’s comparison of the Telfar bag to Hermes Birkin) He has earned praise for his innovative designs, which often challenge traditional notions of gender and identity. He has collaborated with many high-profile brands, including Converse, Gap, and Ugg. He was the winner of the 2020 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund.

Telfar launched his bag in the fall of 2014, but it didn’t really gain traction until 2017 when he won the CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund, and by then Telfar Clemens had been designing clothes for a decade. Clemens describes his brand as ”genderless, democratic, and transformative.”
