Searches For 'Telfar' Were Reportedly Higher Than 'Birkin Bag' For A Five-Hour Period Thanks To Beyoncé

With the drop of Beyoncé’s latest album, the “Summer Renaissance” is upon us. The 16-track project gives out bops that are likely ideal for a good brunch situation, a vogue competition, and positive vibes. However, the track mentioned above from the album, “Renaissance,” highlights the Liberian American, Black-owned luxury label, Telfar. With that one mention, the already popular bag spiked in popularity, and now millions are on standby for the Aug. 5 drop of its upcoming collection.

Telfar Clemens Reveals His Popular E-Commerce Brand Will Soon Expand To Its First Brick-And-Mortar Store

When speaking on successful Black-owned businesses, Telfar sits gracefully in the top ranking. With each new release, the apparel brand’s popularity continues to spike in fashion. As previously reported by AfroTech, it became the “it” brand during the COVID-19 pandemic and has since gone on to collaborate with the likes of UGG and Moose Knuckles.

Liberian-American Designer Telfar Clemens Handpicked To Design Liberia's Olympic Uniforms

Telfar Clemens is in his bag…literally! As the world prepares to head to Tokyo for the 2021 Olympics, things are a little different than the previous years. From empty stadium seats to backlash from Japanese citizens having their city serve as the host — the games will certainly be nothing like what we’ve ever seen before. Over the past two decades track and field competitors of the Liberian Olympic delegation have been seen sporting Nike, adidas, and other sportswear machines, but this year they’ve taken it up a notch with uniforms produced by Telfar Clemens, The New York Times reports. The Liberian-American designer has singlehandedly disrupted the fashion system with his guaranteed to be sold-out bags, deemed as Bushwick Birkins, and a direct-to-consumer business model which has made him a pandemic success story.
