Telfar Medium vs Small Shopper Tote | Full Review and Comparison

[@CalebSnell]

Who’s ready for tomorrows drop? And which size do you prefer? Small or Medium?

[@ZaneAnderson1]

The small is cute but not as practical as the medium 🤔 tough call

[@arli6226]

Medium for work, small for errands :))

[@dragamboazulinqiacupuntura122]

I have a medium and it's scratching my itch for an on the go. It's lighter and seems to wear well... So I'll say that's my favorite. I have a large one and haven't worn it cause it's extremely big I regret buying it but love the color so don't wanna sell it. I have other small bags but if I didn't, the small would be nice however I'd cut the straps I never go to clubs anymore so I don't need to crossbody in the evening

[@mikeboyle3734]

Love it 😎 cool.

[@Slightlyneurotic]

I wish they had a size between the small and medium, would be the perfect size for me. Thanks for the review! Good luck snagging one tomorrow! PS not the large, that’s just crazy 😂

[@CalebSnell]

I completely agree with you Heather- I think not having a size between the S and M is a huge missed opportunity. Haha the L is a little too big- even for me 😂

[@ZaneAnderson1]

Great in-depth review 💚 I’m sure this will help people decide if the Telfar shopper is for them 😊

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you! I'm sure it will too!

[@saabguy8809]

The large is seriously so big it’s ridiculous. I bought one when they 1st came out, sold it. Then got the medium in cream color- perfect size. I sold it also because I retired so I have no need for larger bags in general- of course keeping my Birkins & Kelly LOL I am now thinking of the Telfar in the small. Glad to see this review!

[@CalebSnell]

That's really good to know about the Large size. I had a feeling it would be ridiculously large lol! The Medium truly is perfect, but I can understand why you sold it! I'm glad you enjoyed the review!

[@artsandbarts360]

Green one is 🔥🔥🔥…..you NEED the large for the trifecta 😃🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@CalebSnell]

Haha! I know I do! The problem is storing it lol!!

[@_PAIGE94]

I absolutely love Telfar! Great video 👍🏾

[@CalebSnell]

Agreed! Telfar is such a cool and exciting brand. I really like his approach to fashion and inclusivity with unisex designs, not to mention his designs are just so cool! I'm hoping to add some ready-to-wear to my closet this year too!

[@joshyboy1974]

I like small... Very cute bags..

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you, Josh! The small is super cute!

[@arli6226]

I got this bag for Christmas last year in white and always get asked where it’s from! Definitely a head turner.

[@CalebSnell]

I'm jealous! I've been eyeing the white too, it's so chic!

[@YosheaLux]

I really love the Medium size. The green in the medium is so pretty. The small one is adorable. If my phone doesn't fit in my bag I'm ok with that. This was a great comparison. I enjoyed watching.

[@CalebSnell]

The medium size is perfect! I love the small too, but you have to be really smart with how you pack it. I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@mommymarz]

i’m loving the green 😻look at all your gorgeous slg’s! the long straps on the small look like they could be annoying, i def would prefer the medium. hope you’re having a fab day! 💚

[@CalebSnell]

Me too- it's the perfect pop of color with any outfit! 💚 and I use all my fun SLG's with this bag. But I agree, the long straps I could do without. I hope you're having a fab day too!

[@devincristopher3]

such cute bags love the colors!💚🦋☃️

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you, Devin!!

[@Smilingcats_couture]

Great review, glad to see the shoulder straps do relax, the medium is a nice size. Thank you for the tips on how to purchase. I can see you with a baby blue one! I like the colors you have so far 💚🤍

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you, Laurie! I agree, the baby blue would be perfect in my collection!

[@krisabbott6784]

Caleb I really like this bag. The tote is perfect size. I could handle the green. I do like the price also. Now the small is for sure small. My weekend bag would probably be the tote. This is a excellent review. I love the Dooney and Bourke wallet and pouch. The green one does look good on you.

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you, Kris! When I ordered these, I wanted to buy really fun pops of color, and the highlighter green checks that box. And the D&B IT is the perfect monogram to match the bright shade of green!

[@luxpetite]

I love your review Caleb! I would love to find one in a tan or muted color. 😘

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you, Jamie! I can 100% see you with one of the neutral colors- they're gorgeous muted tones are great too!

[@Restless318]

happy new year love the shirt friend I love Field totes by coach more

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you!! Happy New Year!! The Field tote is really cool and more adjustable!

[@YotaStyle]

Wow there is such a difference between small and medium! Good to know that the straps relax. Great review!

[@CalebSnell]

Right?! I wish there was a size in between the two- that would be perfect!

[@MelissaAdams-Wade]

I would love to see how you have all your bags stored. 🤍💚

[@CalebSnell]

You're in luck! I have a little closet tour coming up in my weekend vlog this Friday!

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

Awesome review

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you, Kaylhee!

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

@@CalebSnell your welcome!

[@curvykie89]

Beautiful bags I need both in my collection. I love the colors of your bags. Your shirt looks good on you. Off topic did you see on Fashionphile the Matte Niloticus Crocodile Himalaya Birkin 30 Blanc….it’s so cute but the price 😩. I definitely can see you wearing that bag boo.

[@CalebSnell]

Hey Kie! Thank you!! OMG, the Matte Croc is everything! Wow, it's stunning! They have a matte croc Kelly right now for just under $30k, I was drooling over it last night lol!

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Clearly, you want the large, so you might as well give in and buy it. I suppose it does not matter that you cannot fit yourself into it because you could not carry the bag if you were inside it and even though Zane is clearly devoted to you, I cannot imagine him agreeing to carry the bag with you inside! LOL! And it might even be useful if you go on a road trip sometime! Thank you for the video! Have a gala day!

[@CalebSnell]

Hahaha, I've said it before- but I love the way you think! And you're right- it really could make for a good travel bag. 🤔 trust me, I'm tempted! I hope you're having a great week, Daniel!

[@5ftNothing]

I just watched your video went straight to the website and bought the medium puff shopper in grey. I'm not sure what the puff one is going to be like but the drop for the normal one is at an awkward time for me being in Sydney 😎 I quite like that the puff bags are in nylon, so it should be nice and light. I wish there was a size inbetween the small and medium because I am only 5ft tall so I could probably spend the weekend inside the medium one 🤣 At least I know that crossbody isn't going to be a problem for me...

[@CalebSnell]

Yes! Let me know how you like the puff version- those are really cool! I totally agree- why isn't there a size in between the small and medium?! That would be so perfect! Haha, crossbody should work just fine for you, I bet!

[@MarieJesne]

As a short person I also am not crazy about the non-adjustable straps! I was hoping it would be a smaller drop on the small bag. Still very informative video, I love the colors you picked!

[@CalebSnell]

That's a really good point, Marie, I hadn't thought of the straps from the other end of the spectrum. I think many people would be willing to pay $50-$100 more for adjustable straps on these bags.

[@donnamasotti3810]

Thank so much for doing this video. I was planning on buying the small but it's too small and the med is too big. You saved me money on a bag I would not use

[@CalebSnell]

Hi Donna! That's so disappointing to hear! But I'm glad this helped! I still can't believe they don't have a size in between the small and medium- it feels like a missed opportunity

[@donnamasotti3810]

@@CalebSnell I agree then I would Definitely be buying

[@iamjholloway]

Love the video but a white Chanel lip balm?!? Is it limited edition? I have and only see the black case. This makes me want to try to get a bag but I already know I’m not going to be lucky lol. Great video and thanks for sharing 😊

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you! Haha! So the Chanel Lip Balm is traditionally in a black tube, but Summer '21 they introduced the limited edition white tubes... but it's January '23, and the limited edition is still... going? Not so limited, I guess? haha! Edit: I just realized they sold me the wrong thing 🤦‍♂️ yes, there was the limited edition summer run, but what I have now is the rouge coco baum 912 dreamy white and not the hydrating rouge coco baum. So that's cool, I guess? 🤷‍♂️

[@classicswithaquirk]

the large telfar bag: for the person who wants to take literally the kitchen sink with them

[@CalebSnell]

Hahahah- this is so true!

[@doviemeh]

I love the highlighter green color! It so vibrant. I looked them up and the colors I wanted (white,purple and pink) are all sold out. Do you know if they restock

[@CalebSnell]

Hi Dovie! Yes! They restock periodically throughout the year. The best trick is to follow Telfar on Insta and they'll announce the drops on their stories. It takes work, but they're worth it!

[@pretaporterp]

would you ever cut off the long straps on the silver? im passing on the telfar, not my taste. i thought the black puffed nylon moose knuckles collab looked cool, but if i bought a roomy tote i'd want a top zipper to use for travel.

[@CalebSnell]

I'm such a purist, so I doubt I could alter any of my bags 😬 even though I really hate the straps on the small lol! And I agree- they should offer a zippered option!

[@michaelgrocke5061]

Do you like the way the material feels? I prefer real leather…

[@CalebSnell]

Hi Michael! I do too, but for a vegan leather, this feels pretty good!

[@tristansauvageau3464]

cant justify the price for the materials. if its not leather then its not worth more than $50. cant do it. no matter the hype. they just look like cheap dollar store totes.

[@CalebSnell]

Interesting take, Tristan! Normally I would agree- but I've been pretty impressed with the quality. And for some folks who might be vegan or choose not to wear animal products, this gives them the chance to have a good vegan friendly bag.
