Is Telfar good? According to the reviews, Telfar is well-regarded for its trendy and iconic designs. Telfar bags are praised for their style, inclusivity, and affordability, which makes them a popular choice among users. However, some users have raised concerns about the quality of materials, noting that the pleather can wrinkle easily and has a noticeable smell. The brand is also criticized for shipping delays, especially around the holiday season, and the lack of return or exchange policies. Overall, Telfar reviews highlight both the brand's strengths and areas for improvement, making it important for potential buyers to weigh these factors when considering a purchase.

I have two small Telfar shopping bags and think the colors are all fantastic. I'm really happy to see a company protects buyers against bots when they were so very hard to get a year ago. Great quality but I wish that there's a size between small and medium and some kind of compartment within.

I’ve stumbled across many brands and I feel like something about Telfar stands out. I personally bought a pair of socks and the material and feel was amazing. They fit very nice, feel comfortable, and since the primary material of the socks are cotton the socks are breathable and keep my feet cool and dry. They feel durable and don’t rip but they don’t feel too thick. Not only are Telfar’s products very nice but the message behind the company is also very nice. Telfar Clemens was born to Liberian parents in Queens, New York and has built his fashion brand Telfar up. Telfar’s message of inclusivity, and acceptability are very impactful as well as their slogan, “Not for you - For everyone.”
Love my Telfar bag! I have a black medium sized bag collab with Eastpack, which is perfect for me as I’m constantly on the go! In New York, the weather is a huge factor to consider as it’s a walkable city... If it’s raining, you’re going to get wet. This bag is waterproof, durable, and holds just the right amount.

It’s impossible to get leather bags when they drop. It would be AMAZING if Telfar had a reselling tab on their website. They could approve the condition of the product and resell bags from prior drops... Sustainable and efficient. Personally, I would love that!

Beautiful and black owned, what’s not to love? For high-quality designer bags I love their more affordable price point. Telfar bags not only look great, but are practical!

I purchased the large heather grey Ugg collab bag and I received it with the UGG label upside down. I have not received a response in 2 days in regards to a resolution to this issue since it states NO REFUNDS….. Hopefully I will hear from someone soon to issue me a refund and send me a return label for the bag. HORRIBLE experience this is my first and LAST Telfar purchase. I do not recommend purchasing the bag or the matching bucket hat. The hat is cheaply put together and it buckles under the logo.

I purchased the Telfar clear jelly bag a couple of weeks ago. Two days after this purchase, I bought a set of Telfar earrings. The clear jelly bag is cute if you’re okay with non-adjustable long AND short straps. This detail sort of bothered me the first couple of times I wore my bag because I own authentic Kate Spade and Michael Kor bags that give me the option of a long strap. With this brand, it’s take it or leave it. It’s been a week and my bag is keeping up. The material is really jelly like. Like the straps sometimes remind me of a jump rope. I’m 5’5 and so these straps make me feel ridiculous on occasion. Sometimes I tuck them into the bag which helps but limits the space in the bag. Now to shipping and processing. Because I purchased this clear jelly bag the first time it was released, it was shipped and processed pretty fast. However, the earrings I bought a couple of days later took a week to process. I received my bag before my earrings which was strange since my bag hadn’t fully processed when I purchased them. I thought why not just put the earrings and bag in the same shipping box to save on material and get my items to me faster?? I guess when you’re a famous company, you don’t have to follow certain rules and you can get your items to the customer whenever you feel like it. I had to email them multiple times to check on my earrings because, for a second, I was convinced that they wouldn’t show. They were shipped yesterday and now I can imagine that shipping will take at least another week before delivery. I think this brand prioritizes the new releases over their old products which would explain why my new bag shipped and delivered before one of their older products (a set of earrings) processed and shipped. This is even though I purchased them a couple of days apart. I wouldn’t say that this brand is environmentally friendly just because of the silly packaging situation. My purse came in a big enough box to fit both my purse and earrings yet only the purse was present. I assume that my earrings will come in another box which is quite unnecessary since the earrings aren’t even close to the size of my purse.

I received this bag as a gift, I loved it at first sight!! Unfortunately after carrying the bag (crossbody) for one week the bag began to fade. The edges is peeling and its sad I’ve k my carried it the most 9 days. Please re consider when purchasing this bag. The leather isn’t real. Just very cheap

Love my Telfars, I have two that I use as work bags or catch-all totes and the medium holds everything. The bag security drops are amazing opportunities and the bags are casually fashion forward. I love carrying it :)

I wish there was a size between small and medium, and that the straps were adjustable....but at a 5ft person its surprisingly not bad

I love the Telfar bags. I have 3 different types. The crossbody Eastpak the small shopping bag and the medium jacquard. The only negative I have is the small shopping bag is so small I wish it was a little bit bigger. I'm squeezing my Telfar wallet, glasses and other essentials. There's a big difference between the small and medium bag. The tracksuit is very nice, quality material. Love how you can unzip the pants up the thigh. Gives the outfit a different look. I haven't had a problem with delivery. Once my order is placed I usually receive it within a week. It hasn't been around Christmas. Will definitely keep purchasing Telfar.
High-quality purse at a very affordable price. I've had my mini purse for a few years now & it has held up great. I wish that the long purse straps could be removable though. When I want to use just the shorter handles, I have to tuck the long handles in the purse & it takes up too much space.
My telfar experience is a little different than other people because I don't own one of their bags. I have a pair of their track pants and truly these are the best product ever. First off, they're so comfortable, fit great on my hips, and such good quality. They have cute little Olympic symbols on them, and white stripes down the legs. Highly recommend buying their track pants bc i love mine.

I managed to get a 💮💮💮bubblegum pink bag after trying for months to secure a bag in the drops. I think that its a fine bag for the money ( I have the smallest size ). the staps are versitile and can be worn by poeple of many different heights. Its been a year since I have bought the bag and its still looking brand new. I would not reccomend that you put anything too heavy in the bags if you get a mini size, it can put wear on the straps. Four stars: ⭐Cute and trendy styles and great color variety ⭐Exciting bag programs and releases ⭐Great website ⭐ Protects against bots mass-buiyng bags
Love my bag! I got the small bag in bubblegum and wear it daily - quality for price is great!

Conceptually I adore this brand and teller, and I love that the bags have become iconic. With that said, I don't like the material of the bags - the pleather wrinkles easily and has a noticeable smell.

If it's good enough for Beyonce it's good enough for me!! These bags are trendy, come in amazing colors, and look great when you carry them. I wish there were some other size options, and i wish they closed with more than a magnet, but they're stylish and trendy, and I am not complaining!
“Not for you but for everyone” has to be the coolest slogan I’ve heard in a long time!! These bags are cute! The impact the brand has had on the fashion industry is astounding! It’s pleather but still cute regardless.
I have the Telfar x Ugg collaboration bag and rarely use it because I'm worried about the shearling getting dirty, but I do love it! I think the bag is cute and there are some others in the collection I like, but I specifically bought the bag I did because I saw how the traditional bags CAN fair over time. I love that the bags are positioned as affordable luxury, but I do think people should be clear that it's VEGAN leather, aka plastic. It's not going to be durable in the way that leather is and you can't get it repaired like you would a leather good. My one issue with my experience is the ordering process. They do bag drops to help limit the amount of bags they make in production and help combat resellers (WHICH I LOVE!), but it can make for a messy customer experience. They send emails letting you know of an impending drop and will outline the products in colors, size and prices that will be available a few days before the drop. I ordered my bag in summer and the website said that my bag would be delivered in January (which was fine because they were going to mail out a little postcard in early December in case you wanted to give the bag as a gift during the holidays) and that I could not change the address on my order once it was placed. SPOILER ALERT: I didn't get the postcard until February. It made me nervous that the product would be delayed and I was moving out of the state in June. There was no communication from the brand or response to my customer service questions about when the bag would be shipped when I didn't recieve it by March. The bag was ultimately delivered in May -- two weeks before I moved -- and while I understand that things happen, I think communication is essential when the bag is going to be delayed by 6 months and you can't change your shipping address.
I have two Telfar bags and for the price I think they are perfectly fine. I am sad to see bag security program go as that was the only way I was able to get my bags. Though the bags are nice, they are not the kind of bags I would buy in the resell market as dont believe they are worth the high price. I also wish they had a size between the small and the medium as the difference is size difference is quite a lot. I think they have been smart with the collabs and believe that the quality of the bags matches the cost

super cute bag! only “downside” for me is that my iphone max doesn’t fit in the smallest size that i bought!
