Telfar Clemens

At this point, either you own a Telfar bag or know someone who does. Telfar Clemens launched the brand in 2005 with a luxurious, yet affordable bag that can be seen on the arms of everyone from Beyoncé to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The “it bag” is just one of the many items to come out of famed designer Telfar Clemens’ arsenal. Even before his brick and mortar store opened in New York’s SoHo, Telfar became an internationally-known brand: he outfitted Team Liberia during the Paris Olympics, appeared at a Guggenheim Museum performance piece donned by Solange Knowles, and partnered with Wilsons Leather for a capsule collection. Telfar is definitely a household name. — J.S.M.
