On Thursday, after photos of Beyoncé and Jay Z having lunch in Brooklyn were released, Twitter blew up, and not just because of the Beyoncé and Jay Z spotting. Rather, it was Beyoncé’s bag that had people talking. For the occasion, the Lemonade singer wore a white button-down shirt tied up Britney Spears-style with floral, wide-leg pants from Christopher John Rogers, and — drum roll please — a white Telfar shopping bag.
Given how tricky it was to score a Telfar bag even before it was Beyoncé-approved — the bag drops sell out almost instantly (sometimes because of bots) — many feared that now that it had her stamp of approval, they’d never get their hands on the tote. “Welp. If you haven’t ordered a Telfar bag yet, you can kiss that dream goodbye,” tweeted @DaShaunLH. @Freedddem wrote, “Beyonce? With a Telfar? Oh it’s over. Yall will never get one.” Meanwhile, @overdramatique tweeted, “Love this for Telfar, hate this for the future of that site and my own collection.”
Others on Twitter aired fears that the affordable price of Telfar’s shopping bags would soon increase. “Beyoncé just rose the price of Telfar bags. if you couldn’t get one before you damn sure ain’t getting one now,” wrote @fvckdrvco.
Telfar was quick to quell the rumors floating around on the social media platform, where the brand’s name was trending for the better part of Thursday night. “Price not changing,” read a post on the brand’s Instagram stories, followed by bumblebee emojis, a reference to Beyoncé. “Not for you — for everyone.” And just like that, hope for Telfar shoppers was restored.
Whether or not that feeling of hope will last past next week’s lavender shopping bag drop, which will take place on Tuesday, July 13 at 9AM EST on shop.telfar.net, is yet to be determined. Let the odds be ever in your favor.
