The Telfar Shopping Bag, nicknamed the Bushwick Birkin, is a minimalist unisex tote in vegan leather with an embossed interlocking T logo on the front, dual short top handles and a longer crossbody strap so it can be worn multiple ways. Designed by Telfar Clemens, it made its debut in the Fall-Winter 2014 show and reached cult status from 2017 onward as a symbol of accessible, democratic fashion. It comes in small, medium, and large sizes and a rotating range of colors.

The Bushwick Birkin, modeled on a department-store shopping bag, made for everyone.
Origin
Inspired by a Bloomingdale's bag
Telfar Clemens debuted the Shopping Bag at his Fall/Winter 2014 runway show. The team drew on classic department-store shopping bags, even measuring a Bloomingdale's bag as a reference.
The bag is made of vegan leather with an embossed T logo and designed to be unisex and carried by anyone, in three sizes that nest from small to large.

Nicknamed the Bushwick Birkin, the bag became a symbol of both status and accessibility. The brand's motto is not for you, for everyone, and after a 2017 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund win Clemens scaled it into the mainstream.
