Okay, let’s talk about getting my hands on that small Telfar shopping bag.

Figuring it Out
So, I kept seeing these bags around, you know? Online, sometimes out and about. Looked neat, simple. Decided I wanted one, the small one specifically. Seemed like a good size for just carrying the essentials without lugging a huge thing around.
First step, obviously, was figuring out how to even buy one. Heard they sell out super fast. Not like just walking into a store. Found out they do these drops on their site. Had to keep an eye out for announcements, which felt a bit like trying to catch smoke.
The Waiting Game and The Drop
Signed up for their newsletter, followed them on social media, the whole nine yards. Just trying to get a heads-up on when the next release for the small size in a color I liked would happen. Took a bit, honestly. Patience isn’t always my strong suit, but hey.
Then, finally got the notification. Set an alarm, maybe two alarms, just to be safe. When the time came, I was ready at my computer. Refresh, refresh, refresh. You know how it goes.
Getting it Done

The site loaded, found the small bag, color I wanted was there. Clicked add to cart faster than I thought possible. My heart was kind of pounding, not gonna lie. Went straight to checkout. Filled in my details like my life depended on it. Address, payment, all that jazz. Hit the final button and just hoped.
Got the confirmation email! Felt like a real win. Seriously, the hype is real, but mostly the process is just stressful timing.
Arrival and First Thoughts
Then came the shipping wait. Felt longer than it probably was. Watched the tracking like a hawk.
Finally, the box arrived. Pretty basic packaging, which is fine. Opened it up. There it was. Pulled out the small Telfar bag. Checked it over. The material felt sturdy, kind of different. Vegan leather, right. The logo is right there, bold. Simple design, clean lines. Just like I expected.
- Size felt right for phone, wallet, keys, maybe a lip balm.
- The straps seemed okay, both the short handles and the longer crossbody one.
- Color was good, matched what I saw online.
Been using it for a few weeks now. It does the job. Holds my stuff, looks pretty cool. It’s simple, practical. Happy I went through the effort to snag one.
