The Rise of Telfar

[@MONET8iAM]

I think it’s important to note that the bag security program and sudden explosion of success of the shopping bag in 2020 was in response to the increase in support of Black business owners during the 2020 Black Lives Matter movement. I had been hearing about Telfar for a few years now, and was able to purchase my first bag in the Fall 2019, and my second in early 2020. My next two bags I got after the movement, the orange one through the bag security program because I REALLY wanted that one and missed the SSENSE release of it. I’m glad to see Telfar himself and the brand’s success. When I get a little more coint, I will buy actual clothes because I think it’s important to also celebrate the other aspects of the Telfar brand.

[@DIYQUEENbyRienna]

You hit the nail. I think this is imperative information that’s missing from this video, hopefully it gets pinned to the top.

[@suzettephinn7829]

I will definitely support this brand. I didn't know such a brand existed.

Went to a Telfar party in Paris that was held inside a GAP. It was fucking nuts

“So I guess his customers weren’t the only ones securing the bags” lol 🐐

I cringed making that joke but I had to

[@xoxochann9340]

this video is done so well. The hype + the style of bag definitely made me get one.. i would have endless colors if it wasnt so hard to get lol

I love that his teacher designed his logo. I remember we designed a logo with our initials in elementary. So glad they're doing that

[@NuFrontierVS]

The White Castle collaboration truly speaks volumes, especially since you're clashing with two very different markets, and yet somehow, in the grand scheme of things it worked so flawlessly! Brilliant approach to marketing I'd say!

[@rafeeqwarfield9690]

tbh those markets are culturally closer than you may think

[@ThomasFoy]

"Oprah, Beyonce, and Bobby Shmurda." One of these things is not like the other.

[@AmberAshli]

I swear when I saw this bag, I was like what is all the hype...it's just an E lol but watching this gave me more insight to his story and I am happy for him! I don't have one but will certainly get one soon...

[@janihq8259]

I love the fact that you actually acknowledge all of the black designers. That means the world

[@adrianna9458]

people are really calling his brand basic & tacky because he makes the same tote bag in different colours yet will praise hermes for making the same ole Birkin that's literally $30,000+. it really shows the way people see literally anything black people do. you can never do anything simple as a black person. it needs to be the most Avant garde, over the top creation to get even a little bit of credit, praise, and recognition that these other mediocre, white owned brands get.

[@mscali1839]

But if you notice being basic is boring too blk culture not saying all of them think this way but people are bandwagoners and oftentimes don't even have a mind of Their Own

[@F.R.F937]

The most pathetic comment ever. Comparing a Birkin bag to those tacky Telfar things. You have no education and knowledge of graff and luxury... stop pandering to us pocs with your racist wokeness 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@duncanbrazzil6936]

you have a tremendous way of recording these episodes and narrating. much love to this channel and wishes for all your success. love the matthew williams episode, this one, all of them really. love the track choices it's very soothing to listen and watch these and learn about so many great designers.

[@Threaducation]

Thank you so much!

[@LearningToLove..]

The logo significance alone is 🔥

[@Threaducation]

agreed

[@alexandrerouby8605]

You cannot miss!! Another amazing video. The content is rich, perfectly narrated, with a very smooth tone. It's such a pleasure to watch your videos and learn new things on a regular basis. You made me a fan of Telfar right about now, with his very touching story and the courage and strength he had to never let his dream, of making products for everyone, go. Thank you, have a great day!

[@Threaducation]

thank you for the kind words so glad you like he videos!

[@renatamitchell4437]

Telfar is a GENIUS!!! and I'm so proud of him and wish him continued success ❤️. A black owned company and designer 😊 Magnificent

[@robertobarasa4095]

My girl got herself a Telfar shopping bag and it’s really amazing😤

[@fivesixfive5549]

Still the most underrated channel on KZbin if you forgot

[@Timihaastrup]

Your videos are the perfect blend of therapeutic and informative. I know little to nothing about Telfar and I already know before watching this is going to help me a lot. Threaducation is for the people

[@soundtracksage6672]

the piano version of Bria's interlude playing in the background is so beautiful.

[@coolida23511]

Damn, you have a sharp ear! I didn't even notice.

[@niconatanael]

Your videos are extremely informative, and often includes crucial information that are not present in other videos of the same subject. Telfar is definitely getting more popular by the day, and it deserves the recognition. I have to admit, i have never heard of Telfar until very recently (around the beginning of 2021, maybe?) and this video has everything i needed to know about the brand. Please do one for Heron Preston! keep up the good work!

[@Threaducation]

glad you the enjoyed the video! will definitely be doing Heron Preston soon

[@beegebeeg7079]

So he was always ahead of his time & paved the way🤯

[@Datcreebruh]

telfar seems like a sweet brand i love their earrings already!

[@DarkSideOfTheBrightSide]

My guy never disappoints, these videos are just golden. After watching your videos since the first one, I’ve been conversing with others about fashion- and, now I can add value within the conversations. I’m still somewhat a poser, but I do know a smidgen thanks to this channel. Lol

[@Threaducation]

thank you that makes me so happy to hear, that's why im doing what im doing

[@SabineOh]

3 bags in my collection so far! #supportblackdesigners ❤️

[@jillianwatson9728]

I was rewatching some old episodes of RHONY and he has an appearance in one of the older seasons ( i cant remember which one) but he is at a party with the ladies. I believe sonja is a good friend/client of his as Sonja sometimes sports a telfar bag in the more recent seasons and appears in some of the campaigns. I love seeing him appear in random places and I am dying for one of his bags. great video!!

[@Threaducation]

that's awesome! + glad you like the video 🙏

Jesus Christ I could not fully focus on the first 7 minutes of the video because I was going crazy trying to figure out where I know the background music from 😂. Figured it out and now I have to start the video over to catch everything again 😅. This video is very well done btw.

[@Threaducation]

haha that's great, and thanks glad you like the video

[@wordsbygemm]

I really enjoyed this video, I didn't know much about Telfar prior to this but it was interesting to hear about him as a person and also the brand. I also never knew the origin of the Telfar bags so learning about it has really changed my perception (in a positive way).

[@therealEXMO]

I became more into fashion lately and after seeing this video I've become a new subscriber..and you have given me the education of affordable fashion makes me want to get a bag ?
