New York, NY (February 8, 2021) – Klarna, the leading global payments provider and shopping service, today announced that it has partnered with boundary-pushing fashion label TELFAR to offer US shoppers the ability to purchase the brands’ iconic unisex bags and other apparel and accessories in four equal, interest-free payments.
“We are all about accessibility, and partnering with Klarna helps make our designs even more accessible,” said Telfar Clemens, Founder and Designer, TELFAR.
The partnership follows the subtle feature of Telfar’s small shopping bag in Klarna’s first-ever Big Game commercial on Sunday, February 7th. Following the Game, TELFAR announced that the iconic bubblegum pink bag featured in the spot would be restocked and available for purchase on shop.telfar.net with Klarna - and the bags sold out in minutes. Klarna will soon launch a Telfar giveaway via Instagram, in which four lucky winners will also receive pink Telfar shopping bags.
“TELFAR is the epitome of inclusive, attainable luxury,” said David Sykes, Head of US at Klarna. “Klarna’s pay-in-four option will further enhance TELFAR's digital shopping experience, ensuring that even more shoppers have access to the brands' highly sought-after bags and products with greater payment flexibility."
Klarna is the global leader of buy now, pay later options and the future of shopping.

About TELFAR
Launching his eponymous line in 2005 at the age of 18, Liberian-American unisex prodigy Telfar Clemens has developed with remarkable fidelity a brand and a design vocabulary which is uniquely democratic and strikingly original. The TELFAR vision is rooted in taking what is most utterly normal in the American wardrobe and culture and accelerating it. Deconstructing its form; re-imagining its function; and projecting it into the future. From his 10-year retrospective at the 2016 Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art to his commission to design the new uniforms for the iconic White Castle hamburger chain – for TELFAR there is no such thing as high and low. TELFAR’s vision for fashion is totally horizontal and radically democratic. The result is a brand that bridges art and culture; music, nightlife, technology and style – known as much for its genre-bending projects, parties and presentations as for its clothes. shop.telfar.net
