TELFAR is a unisex label established in New York in 2005 by Liberian-American designer Telfar Clemens, working from a premise the brand states outright: it's not for you, it's for everyone. It is best known for the Shopping Bag, the vegan-leather tote that picked up the nickname the Bushwick Birkin and carried the label well beyond fashion circles.
Alongside the bags, TELFAR sells apparel, and a global stockist network is listed on its site for anyone shopping outside New York. The brand runs an NYC flagship at 408 Broadway, on the stretch between Tribeca and SoHo, open Wednesday through Saturday from 11am to 7pm and Sunday from noon to 6pm. There is no published phone line or plain-text email address; customer support runs through help.telfar.net and an online contact form instead.
The label is active across Instagram, Twitter/X and TikTok as @telfarglobal. Whether you are after a Shopping Bag or want to see the apparel in person, stop by the Broadway flagship or browse the site.
