Telfar left people in skepticism with the bag's price. While all the fans loved the bag's design and wanted to buy it, the price seemed unusually high to the fans, compared to the other bags from the label.

Fans pointed out that the bag will be using real leather and the price seems unfair and high considering the usage of pleather. Fans have been dependent on the label to keep prices affordable and low since the brand promised this will be a label of 'accessible luxury' for those who can't afford luxury brands such as Chanel, LV, Gucci, and more.
