I ordered a mini pink one from the restock at the end of july and it is quite spacious, it fits my iphone xs max (kinda angled) my chanel coin pouch, some snacks and a full bottle of motrin (just trying to see what could fit :lol:), on top of that it doesn't feel plasticky or anything, just nice and smooth

It’s very nice. Does it feel like leather? Is it soft or stiff?

Super cute! I have enough small bags which is why I am going for the medium.

Log on Wednesday (8/19) for the 24 hour pre-order. Here is the info on their site:


INTRODUCING:
THE TELFAR BAG SECURITY PROGRAM
TELFAR is a black-owned, non-gendered fashion project established in 2004. The Shopping Bag first dropped in 2014 — meaning: our bag ain't new — it’s the world that changed. Let’s keep it changing.




We feel all the love we are getting, and we feel the frustration too.

We are not about hype and scarcity. We didn’t set out to make an impossible to get product. The whole point of our bag is accessibility and community.

But the truth is (with or without the bots and resellers) when thousands of bags sell per second we can't even know how many to make. We plan production 6 months in advance. It takes time and money to make bags and we are 100% self-financed.

So, what do we do?




ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, FOR 24 HRS


We will offer EVERY SIZE AND COLOR FOR UNLIMITED PRE-ORDER.
Order the bags you need, AND WE WILL MAKE THEM FOR YOU.
You will get your bag no later than JANUARY 15
PERIOD


We are doing this so that there is a way to guarantee you your bag without you having to deal with the stress of drops. We will continue to do drops and are working on getting more and more product — but this is a way to both support us, buy direct, and GUARANTEE yourself a bag — even if you have to wait for it.

There are SPECIFIC RULES that makes it possible for us to offer this:




PAYMENT

  • THE BAG SECURITY PROGRAM requires PAYMENT IN FULL at checkout. This includes shipping and taxes.
NO REFUNDS

  • THERE ARE NO REFUNDS • NO CANCELLATIONS • NO CHANGES of any kind to your order - NO EXCEPTIONS. We have to actually make your bag FOR YOU. This is the only way we can offer this program. If you are not sure you can wait you can take your chances with the drops.
DELIVERY

  • Your bag is GUARANTEED TO ARRIVE between DECEMBER 15th, 2020 - JANUARY 15th 2021.
  • DOUBLE CHECK YOUR DELIVERY ADDRESS. We are unable to accommodate ANY address changes. Please provide a secure address where you can receive your order at the arrival date (12/15/2020 - 01/15/2021).
  • You will receive UPS tracking info via email once your order has shipped.
SCHEDULE

  • We cannot guarantee a specific date of arrival. It will likely be sooner but January 15 2021 is the LATEST. In the event of an unforeseen delay or disaster (Covid, Tsunami, Asteroids, etc.) you will be the FIRST to know.
PLEASE BE COOL

  • We will continue to do bag drops between now and January. Those are bags we ordered months ago — it may look like your bag, but it’s not your bag. We are making your bag FOR YOU and getting it to you THE SECOND IT IS READY.
  • Real talk — we are a small team and trying to stay lean. Please DO NOT order if you are not sure. Please DO NOT contact us about bag status, all the info is explained here.
  • Once you make your order you are agreeing to the terms and conditions above. We promise to carry out our part and get you your bag.

I'm so torn on what to get! I really want a medium but I tend to wear smaller bags - but I feel like the small might be too small for me. Leaning towards the olive color. I love Oxblood but I have a bag that color already.

The small bags look so small! Like a going out to a party/club bag. I went with medium. How funny I was able to get the Olive yesterday during the drop and ordered the oxblood today. I have WAY too many black bags so I went with colors I do not have yet.

Can you post a photo of the Oxblood?

The bag I have isn't Telfar brand, sorry I was a little unclear. Just similarish shape and very similar color (I think). Agreed on the small. I want it to be just a few inches bigger and it would be a dream. I actually just heard of this brand this morning on IG, so I'm very new to the hype and found out about the bag security just in time!

Yes they sell out so quick and yesterday was the only time I snagged a bag during a drop.

I agree about the small. After seeing photos on IG I decided it was way too small for me. The medium looks a tad bit bigger than a large Longchamp LP so I think it will be perfect.

I ended up going with a medium white! Olive sounded amazing and that was my first instinct but the more I looked at Instagram photos the more white just kept popping out at me.

I felt that way with the red but it may be too bright for me. I also know I will use the green and oxblood more.

I hope they have their belts and jewelry for sale soon. It seemed they also had cool sweatshirts at one point.

Congrats!
