White ppl use race as a scapegoat when arguing with poc it’s very weird. Like a ‘GOTCHA haha racism’ from a racist against someone who actually experiences racism. 🤔 sorry these weirdos find their way on your blog, dude
and it’s extra stupid bc the examples she gave don’t have shit to do with what i was saying 😭 telfar clemens and virgil are actual designers that actually make things like yes they started off poor but they didn’t buy hundreds of clothing articles and resell after doing NO changes to the clothing itself telfar got his big break using materials to make bags, like he did actual hard work and design and made things, the guy i’m complaining about doesn’t do anything to the clothes he buys in mass he doesn’t even wash them he just changes the five dollar price to 80 with 30 dollar shipping and label them “vintage loose pants” it’s a insult to group him in with ppl tht actually had to work for their spots in the fashion world instead of just being a rich white guy living off of daddies money

Fieldwork Activity #1 : Making Telfars Unfamiliar
The history of Telfar
The first Telfar bag was created by self -taught queer black designer Telfar Clemens. Telfar was born and raised in Queens , New York and created his self -named fashion house in 2005. While in high school at New York's P.S. 206, Clemens's teacher wrote monograms for all of their students. The monogram the teacher gave to Clemens later became the brand's signature logo. Clemens won the Vogue Fashion Fund award which led him further into the spotlight. It was very important for the Telfar bag to seen as completely unisex bag that any , and everybody could wear without the labels. In 2014 the first bag was introduced at the Autumn/Winter 2014 runway show , but did not receive a lot of recognition until 2018. For a long period of time queer black people in New York City were ubiquitous supporters of Telfar , that is until celebrities such as Solange, A$AP Ferg, and Kelsey Lu begin to wear the bag publicly. In August of 2020, Telfar introduced the Bag Security Program, a one-day-only online event in which allowed thousands of people to preorder guaranteed bags. During the New York Fashion week Telfar Clemens hosted his first pop-up shop in Brooklyn where thousands of people showed up shutting down traffic for hours. This caused Clemens to host another pop up except this time online. Since the Telfar bag has been launched there has often been conversations about whether it is considered a luxury item or not. Telfar bags typically retail for $200-$500, far less than other highly-desired handbags by the likes of Chanel, Prada. Telfar bags are now one of the most sought after bags in the world.
Manufacturing of Telfar Bags
Telfar bags like most luxury bags are manufactured in China. The logo featured on telfar bags are of a T inside a C, a form of his initials created by one of Telfar’s childhood teachers. Telfar's financial model is unique due to the fact that it is a self financed production. The massive increase in demand, has caused Clemens to have to double the size of the headquarters in Bushwick, Brooklyn, and have leased a 10,000-square-foot warehouse in New Jersey to manage their own fulfillment. To manufacture a Telfar bag factory workers use vegan leather and it features both cross-body straps and handles so it can be worn multiple ways. It contains a 45 degree sticking angle with two types of straps, double top handles and shoulder straps. Every bag contains an additional brand tag that reads "Telfar / EST . 2005, NYC". It comes in a variety of colors and blends fashion and function, and has a decent amount of carrying space.
Impact of Telfar on Me
In the past I would never be caught dead considering myself a purse kind of girl" that is until I discovered Telfar bags. Whenever it came to wearing purses or bags I would avoid it at all cost because it made me feel to girly. When I first ever saw someone with a Telfar bag my initial thought was that it was cute but I would never get one. Fast forward to today and I have now found myself being a collector of these bags. I grew up in a working /middle class household and was not always able to afford designer bags such as Chanel , or Luis Vuitton. As these Telfar bags became more popular I officially decided that I wanted one and once I saw that they were not as expensive as I thought , i never went back. Telfar bags have not only allowed me to express myself but make me feel good anytime I wear it.
Conditions of Factories
There is little to no information on the condition of the factory workers , however Telfar Clemson has stated that there is an exceptional quality of work and flexibility when working with manufacturers.

Recently i found out about Beyoncé having a fashion brand with her mother. Do you know what happened for her to give up and close the brand?
Yes she had a fashion brand with her mom back in the day called “House Of Dereon” which was named after her Maternal Grandmother. It was a sportswear label similar to what Baby Phat was doing and also very similar to what Telfar Clemens brand is doing today with his Moose Knuckle collab. None of the clothes in the ad campaign is what actually went into the stores except for the denim jeans. She even name dropped the brand on “Get Me Bodied” Beyoncé wore a few custom pieces on the press tour for “DreamGirls” and “Pink Panther” movies. She most likely shut down because clothing brands are too expensive and too time consuming if you don’t have a retail conglomerate behind the operations.

Telfar Clemens officially launched the bag we know today during New York Fashion Week in 2014, but Telfar the brand came about in 2004/5 (couldn’t find a specific date for this). The bags put the brand on the global map, but he already had critical success in the fashion world.
No official time for the launch, so we’re putting Saturn on the Ascendant 🧐 the chart for the bag launch has Saturn (what was built) in Scorpio (iykyk) - with Mars in the 12th in Libra.
The Moon is conjunct Jupiter (double dignity with Jup Jup exalted in Cancer and at home in the 9th place) and both of them square that 12H Mars and oppose a Venus-Pluto conjunction in the 3H.
It seems the more successful the bags get, the bigger the hate on the brand - Chiron in Pisces in the 5H of creation trine 9H Jupiter and the Moon - despite aiming to be for the people, as well as ethical and inclusive.
The 9H/Jupiter in a business chart points to reviews (and customer ideals) as well as long range marketing, and the Moon represents the public.

How Telfar Clemens is Redefining Luxury Fashion
Since the inception of his namesake brand Telfar in 2005, the designer has epitomized the slogan, “It’s not for you—it’s for everyone.” Clemens disrupted a gatekept industry with his affordable vegan leather shopping tote, affectionately dubbed the “Bushwick Birkin.” Being Black and queer, the designer hasn’t historically fit the mold of a luxury fashion designer. Clemens’ desire to forge an…
