Telfar has a handle on the handbag industry . The lifestyle brand continues to give fashion a real show and a run for its money with its inclusive and unorthodox approach to branding.

The iconic brand pushes culture forward in a way that has even been influential in music. So when they dropped their new Shmedium sized bag it was only right to release a Shmixtape. We took all the songs that name drop Telfar and turned it into a collectible vinyl that fits perfectly into their new bag.

Spotify X Shmixtape

Telfar partners with Spotify to push the Shmixtape playlist with a direct link to the Shmedium sized bag on the brands website.

Social

Listening parties and DJ sets are becoming just as popular as traditional concerts and festivals. One of the DJ’s leading the pack right now is comedian and Abbott Elementary star, Zach Fox.

We went to good ol Instagram to post our event flyer/invite to the masses.

The event will be catered by “Sweet Chick” a soul food chain restaurant in NY famously owned by rapper NAS who is featured on the Shmixtape.

We got the word out to world but what they don’t know is that we personally invited a few of New York’s finest who are also featured on the Shmixtape.

OOH

Event Recap

At the listening party people will be able to purchase from limited stock Shmedium bags in every color until they sell out.

Earned media

Talk of the Shmedium bag’s Shmixtape takes media by storm. Historically black magazine Essence covers Telfars newest innovation and descent into the music world .

NON-TRADITIONAL ACTIVATION

During commercial break, Telfar runs an ad that mimics the Grammys announcing nominees for a new added category “New Musical Product.” Later in the show the commercial will reveal The Shmixtape as the winner.
