The point of Telfar is the opposite of luxury - their slogan is “it’s not for you, it’s for everyone.” As many others have said, the point is accessibility, not luxury.
LOL what kind of take is this? “You’re better off buying a Birkin than a Telfar” …you’re comparing a bag that typically starts at $8-$10k to a bag that ranges from like $200-$400 max 💀🤣😭
there's nothing wrong about it not being "luxury" material - but leather isn't luxury. you can find exceptionally crafted leather bags by italian artisans that are the same price as telfar bags. it just doesn't make sense. that price point for a bag that's literally plastic is insane imo.
The same thought crossed my mind! But if I remember correctly in the Telfar video he recommends it to those who want a bag that celebrities use but is cheaper compared to other luxury brands. As for the Chanel he compares the lamb skin to Caviar leather then leaves it up to the viewer to decide which we prefer.
At the end of the day, TELFAR is not for everyone. You buy Telfar not only for the bag but for the ethos of the brand. If you’re buying Telfar just because you saw a celebrity wear it than you should definitely choose something else.
I’d stay away from any Fendi Mama bag. Both of mine are from the Fendi store in Rome, Italy and the leather strap on both of them has come apart, even though I don’t carry them very often. I also avoid Hermes because I find the brand to be financially exploitive of its own workforce. Learning the salary of a leather artisan who makes iconic ridiculously overpriced bags for Hermes to sell for $20K and up only makes €1,200 per month or about $1400 USD really repulsed me. That’s just disgusting and I will never choose to spend my own hard-earned money with companies who financially abuse or exploit their own employees. Hell to the no!
As a former LV employee DO NOT buy the Neverfull or Speedy bags! They are not worth the money, lose their shape and the design is very poor for the intended use. I’d you do purchase LV I’d recommend the On the Go in place of the Neverfull and the Alma in place of the Speedy. xx
Im curious as to why the lady dior depreciates so fast so quickly. It's lovely material, very hard to fake exactly, structured, nicely put together... it should not lose value so much
I'm not mad at this list. he's very accurate and I believe his statement. I know bc I own these bags myself except for the telfar bag. 😭 and I'm glad I didn't get the Telfair bag. they don't look high quality.
@@bebop2523 It doesn't matter to me about the cost- poor quality is poor quality. I have Coach and Polene bags around the cost of a Telfar and they are made exceptionally well.
Can you do a video showing us your entire dup collection and maybe shout out some favs and some regrets? I love the pieces you choose! Can't wait to get mine @ *amzrepo*
Telfar bags don’t look cheap, you just know how much it costs and assume it’s cheap. Other brands make bags with cheaper material and inconvenient designs and people are still obsessing over them because they think $$$$$ means quality.
I have the classic double flap and the lamb skin‘s magic. Just rub the area with your hand a few times and ‘ta da’ 🙌🏻 the unfortunate mark fades or disappears completely 😅
Vintage Chanel classic flap in lambskin is amazingly durable. Today's lambskin is delicate, so go with the vintage instead, the resale value is also amazing.
Admitting that Telfar bags aren’t high quality material doesn’t take away from the brand. At this point, Chanel isn’t even that great in regards to quality material lol.
I don’t agree with the Lady Dior ( as long as you aren’t buying to resell), neither do I agree with the lambskin classic flap. Mine is perfect and isn’t scratched at all.
Totally. I agree about both those bags too. I have both as well and they’re in perfect condition. The big problem is these days people are only buying them to resell. It’s sad really
@@luxecollectiveI think it’s all subjective. I personally think anything Louis Vuitton with untreated leather is hard to resell as it patinas quickly and looks old. Anything too trendy such as your suggestions of the Jacquemus minis or Shearling material. My main no no is if the bags don’t fit essential items like my phone.
My bag expenses do not exceed over $2,300 . This is the most I’ll spend of any bag . I’m in Japan loving the pre-loved market. I disagree with Telfar. I would not compare to the other handbags as a big Luxury brand, and it’s reasonable for those , who cannot afford those handbags, or who can and wants to support the Brand. I have two, one just arrived yesterday from the Rainbow release. A large Bronze I plan to use for traveling, beach bag, picnic etc. You can’t use the following listed multiple ways, due to there sz, so Telfar is an excellent choice.
In general I try to remember that people have very diverse tastes. Sometimes they see something and they just want it. I would try not to discourage anyone from buying something that they really want unless there's a serious issue.
Thanks for all of your suggestions Janae! I love the Goyard pieces though would agree the thin straps can be a problem... I just don't put heavy things in 😁
Gucci Soho Disco bag. While it does zip shut, the whole thing keeps flipping upside down. My stuff is tossed all over, and the logo is facing the opposite way I want.
You are almost always on point, but I totally disagree with your first two choices. 1) Lady Dior: if you care about the resale of a bag, then you shouldn’t be buying luxury bags period. They’re not investments-with money if you can’t afford to lose it, then you can’t afford to spend it. Beyond that, the Lady Dior is iconic and it is a stunning piece with magnificent craftsmanship. If you enjoy exceptional pieces, the Lady Dior is wonderful for this. They do Pearl bags way better than Chanel for example. 2) lamb skin is not as delicate as you make it seem. Does it get scratched immediately? Yes, but it looks way better than caviar as it ages in my opinion. Caviar was my go to in my teens/early twenties as I was afraid of damaging the lambskin, but now I only buy caviar in white. I much prefer the luxurious look of the matte lamb to the shiny caviar, especially in a classic flap. Better yet, Lesage tweed. It is finished by hand, never repeated and very limited production. However, I used a lambskin maxi as my diaper bag and it still looks fabulous a decade later, so if you love the lambskin, get the bag, you won’t regret it.
Ohh yes please!! I would that, been looking for a good function but also fashionable office bag for sooo long, please do a video with your recommendations
Try one of the YSL black leather shoppers. Check out Polene bags as well. I love Polene bags and they are a lower price point than YSL, about the same price point as Mulberry, Belstaff, etc
Birkins, it makes everyone look middle aged. Agree on everything in this list. That chanel flap looks so good tho. That telfar bag I will never buy. There are tons of good leather laptop bags with better designs online and cheaper too like Shigetsu.
I have 5 lady Dior bags… I had 6 but gave one to my sister. So my resale was $0 😬. Haha. I have 1 mini Pearl (newest bag), one mini crystal, the OG ultra matte, a soft rose and a beige-both medium. I had a medium navy which had the zipper as it was from 2013 and I never used it bc of the zipper, so I gave it to my sister so I could justify buying the matte blue… which I went in to buy and bought the Pearl instead 🤦🏽♀️. But def not going to make a cent on resale with this selection lol.
I disagree on the shearling bags. Mine are the 2 chanel with pearls in black and beige and every single time im out i get so many complements on it. Besides why would you spill water on it or leave it next to liquids in general??? Just take care of them and you are good.
I think about how far is the story and how they put money back into the community which is why people are willing to buy it. It’s not always about the design it’s about what companies are doing to help others. That’s why people want to invest their money and show their support
Id never buy the larger sized Telfar bags its not worth it for the floppiness. There are much better totes out there. The smallest size actually fits quite a lot and you get the same bang for less buck
The point of Telfar is the opposite of luxury - their slogan is “it’s not for you, it’s for everyone.” As many others have said, the point is accessibility, not luxury.
First it’s not accessible in fact the opposite and it’s not luxury yet the price is nearly up there. So literally the worst thing you could buy
sound like such a hater
Its still inaccessible for many people and for the quality? 😂 youre betting off with a Birkin. At least it'll last lol
LOL what kind of take is this?
“You’re better off buying a Birkin than a Telfar” …you’re comparing a bag that typically starts at $8-$10k to a bag that ranges from like $200-$400 max 💀🤣😭
It's not even accessible like that. Ths price point is lower than an average luxury bag, but the demand makes it inaccessible to the everyday person.
i love my telfar, it’s not “luxury” material but it’s very convenient and cute and fits all my stuff. literally a great ‘shopping bag’
its ugly asf not cute are u blind
there's nothing wrong about it not being "luxury" material - but leather isn't luxury. you can find exceptionally crafted leather bags by italian artisans that are the same price as telfar bags. it just doesn't make sense. that price point for a bag that's literally plastic is insane imo.

Telfar is also a movement of supporting black designers. Which I’m here for.
true!
THAT PART!!!✊🏽💞
THAT PART
Eww
Exactly 👏🏽
You were recommending the Telfar shopping bag the other day though and talking of its resale value 😅
right?? what i was thinking
I thought this too
He also recommended the Chanel in lamb skin if you wanted to wear less frequently.

I love my LV Croissant MM for this reason. Love the structured design
The lady dior is really classy tho I love it
It is stunning, if you're not interested in reselling or an investment bag then it's a great choice!
True. Dior handbags are already expensive and if sell it again it’s going to be a cheaper price..
wore my telfar today, i love it so much!!
I totally agree with you. Most of the luxury hand bags cost a fortune and the material is cheap.
The lady dior is Princess Di's, and I will definitely buy it when I get the chance, no one can convince me not to lol
Thanks for the advice
I'd say anything with a light colour once you get a bit on denim in it they all rubb off onto the colour
Lady Dior is such a classy bag.❤

I'm surprised it's even on the list - it's not a luxury brand and looks cheap
@@lepunksmoothie Sameeee i was thinking: Wait, but they literally only cost like $100-$200 tho....
The telfar bag is only $200, ofc it’s not going to be as high quality as the $5k Chanel lambskin bag
Facts. I feel bad saying I won’t buy a Telfar for myself because of the material. 😩
It's a shame!
I don't feel bad about it at all.
The Telfar is about $200, much less expensive than any of the other bags on this list so ofc the materials are less expensive too
@@bebop2523 Not a fan of the plastic. Its why I'm not interested in Stella McCartney as well.
@@bebop2523 It doesn't matter to me about the cost- poor quality is poor quality. I have Coach and Polene bags around the cost of a Telfar and they are made exceptionally well.
My LV slingbag is safe, good to hear😎
Merci. Chanel wallet on chain..The chains are too heavy
and too long
Lady Dior is the most iconic bags of all time. Lol
Love the Telfar!! Good for the price
it's a great accessible option!

What do you think about Strathberry? I love these bags!!
I love your recommendations and they are so true. Except for the lady dior I don't have one but I want 1
Thanks Donna!! Get one preloved if you can and then you’re not paying as much!

The Neverfull. They’re everywhere, and way overpriced now.
I agree with the Telfair bag , I was so disappointed when I got it for the same reasons what he mentioned
Which one did you go for?
@@luxecollective the small one, I didn’t realize it was that tiny . I like small handbags too. It straps not being adjustable mad me sad
Please do recommendation on mens or unisex luxury baggs 🙏🏻
Noted ✍🏼
Telfar is exactly that! Unisex tote
I don’t agree with the Lady Dior ( as long as you aren’t buying to resell), neither do I agree with the lambskin classic flap. Mine is perfect and isn’t scratched at all.
Wow that's impressive to keep it in fresh condition is so difficult! Are there any bags you wouldn't recommend?
Totally. I agree about both those bags too. I have both as well and they’re in perfect condition. The big problem is these days people are only buying them to resell. It’s sad really
It color transfers!!😢 wore it with my jeans too much i guess

Just buy Dooney and Bourke. Has the same price as Telfar but better.
@@Chinoiserie9839 I have three vintage Dooney and Bourke handbags, I still love and wear amongst my luxury bags. Thanks🥰
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The old chanel lambskin bag 2.55 in white was so good by karl. Someone filmed cleaning it. Today's one sorry I can't promise.
The pink one is so beautiful 😭
TELFAR, whenever and wherever Hunny!
For me the Pochette Metis isn't worth the money considering it holds next to nothing lol
True
My dream bag is the Lady Dior bag!! Do you think I should get it still if it’s my dream bag??
I HATE straps that are adjustable. I don't want to deal with some damn buckle. I want to grab and go.
Prada nylon bag is the top of my list
In general I try to remember that people have very diverse tastes. Sometimes they see something and they just want it. I would try not to discourage anyone from buying something that they really want unless there's a serious issue.
I have the Jacquemus le chiquito but i love it 🥹 I think it’s the only bag that looks good on me and I dont have that much thing to carry around so 😅
Balenciaga down town bag; my favorite bag ever but it’s so delicate and marks so easy it even holds onto finger prints
Givenchy WOC… only a 19-20” drop!
And Goyard totes… for such a special bag, the straps are too too too thin and the leather totally frays.
Same with Chloe Faye- waaaay too short of strap drop so it shouldnt be considered a cross body.
AND the LV epionne leather backpack. Good god- the opening and closing sinch using the straps is so inconvenient.
Thanks for all of your suggestions Janae! I love the Goyard pieces though would agree the thin straps can be a problem... I just don't put heavy things in 😁
Telfar isn’t luxury it’s a $250 bag. It’s absolutely more an accessible item that’s the point
Love the one you think is ugly lol , loving learning from reviews , been to Beijing yashau markets they took me into the hidden room of handbags
I’m confused. He says to avoid Telfar, but recommends it in another video.
Gucci Soho Disco bag. While it does zip shut, the whole thing keeps flipping upside down. My stuff is tossed all over, and the logo is facing the opposite way I want.
All of them..!!! Could have a bag handmade for a fraction of there cost that would last…never buy into big brands…!!!!

Prada bags with hardwares! Omg!
Yes. Completely agree. Poor quality leather,also
Absolutely wrong about the Telfar it's my everyday computer bag. Def not overrated. I use it to travel and go place to place
This guy is super cute lol the way he’s passionate makes it that much better
Agree with the telfar, such an average bag it’s almost ugly
that sherling is sooooo cute tho 😫 (look at the marc jacobs sherling tote & the telfar sherling small shopping bag)
I will DEFINITELY take your advice and stick with I know best... Walmart brand..lol!
I agree with everything you said, except the Jacquemus Le Chiquito... It is NOT ugly! 😭❤️
Thank you for doing your research and being clear cut 🥲
That telfar bag is so cheap I don’t understand it! Just because I see a celebrity carrying something doesn’t mean I’m going to waste my money on it
The Lady Dior is a bag one should get pre-loved since YES it depreciates in value the moment you purchase it brand new
Hating arse. It’s a black owned company and ima support Telfar!
Can you recommend a good office bag that will last ages, looks chic but you can also put your lunch in it? ❤
Ohh yes please!! I would that, been looking for a good function but also fashionable office bag for sooo long, please do a video with your recommendations

Do your research well. Lady Dior adds value. It went up to $6000 to 8500 lately depending on the size. It used to be $300 to $4500 six years ago.
I agree with u on the channel, but I'm actually impressed with my telfar. I got the large and literally holds everything well structured.
glad to hear it Cynthia! what colour do you have?

tyyy
I just knew he was full of it when he said Telfar ‼️‼️‼️😤😤
This list seemed a bit random - it’s not an apples to apples comparison. If you start with Lady Dior, I’d stay with the luxury comparisons.
Can we get any bag?
Chanel classic flap
Anything with ponyhair
Id never buy the larger sized Telfar bags its not worth it for the floppiness. There are much better totes out there. The smallest size actually fits quite a lot and you get the same bang for less buck
Fair enough!
I agree with everything you said!

Finally someone called Teflar for what it is... a logo for brokies
In no way is Telfar overrated.

it's literally plastic. how is that not overrated.
