Telfar can’t keep its sought-after Shopping Bag in stock. On August 19, the Brooklyn-based brand launched its Bag Security Program in a bid to make the so-called “Bushwick Birkin” more accessible, after a restock earlier in the month sold out in mere minutes. Created in 2014 by the black-owned, genderless label’s designer, Telfar Clemens, the logo-stamped tote comes in multiple colors and three sizes that retail from $150 to $257 — and it’s not just New York creatives and fashion fanatics who are obsessed. The It bag also has a celebrity following, with famous fans including Solange Knowles, Selena Gomez, Dua Lipa and more. Ahead, see a few of the stars who can’t get enough of the coveted carryall.
