Are you down with the faux leather fever? Faux leather is a trend you need to add to your closet now.
What comes to mind when you think of wearing leather? For me, a pair of boots or a must-have black biker jacket.
There are many more options, dresses like this Target Who What Wear faux leather dress I’m wearing in today’s post and previously worn here. How about the Free People high-waisted caramel vegan pants from last week’s post? And the ASOS swing dress which cost only $40.00
This fall, I’ve had my dose of faux leather, with another addition for my 65th birthday from my daughter, Channing. I’m wearing the Telfar small shopping tote in tan.
I must take a detour to talk about the coveted faux leather carryall from Telfar Clemens. This sought-after, “it bag.”
Dubbed the Bushwick Birkin. Why?
NYC Makeup artist Xya Rachel coined the term Bushwick Birkin earlier this year, and I quote, “but for those who don’t have Hermès kinda coins.”
This shopping bag introduction by New York Fashion Designer Telfar Clemens in 2014. Slowly but surely, the bag became a status symbol for all the cool-kids who synced up with the label’s message: “It’s not for you; it’s for everyone.”
The bags are so hard to come by (hence the name Birkin), a flash sale Bag Security Program introduced earlier this year to help secure your selection. The viral sensations made right in Buckwish, a neighborhood in Brooklyn.
The bags retail for just $150 to $257.
Congratulations to the 2017 Council of Fashion Designers of American (CFDA) winner Telfar Clemens for his shopping bag inclusion on Oprah’s annual Favorite Things List.
If you are looking to add a few inexpensive pieces to your closet, consider faux leather, a great affordable chic option for yourself or as a gift.
