Fashion fans are fighting to get their hands on Walmart's version of the acclaimed Hermès Birkin bag

An Hermès Birkin bag is one of the most coveted and luxurious fashion accessories in the world - but with prices starting at $12,000 a bag, it's not accessible for most. The Birkin cannot be bought over-the-counter at an Hermès store, with customers having to build up a shopping history at the brand to even be 'offered' a chance to purchase it - but now, shoppers are going wild over Walmart's $78 version.
The leather purse looks strikingly similar to a Birkin and comes in a range of colors including olive, black, elephant gray, emerald green, ivory white. It is being lauded by shoppers online, with hundreds of TikTok videos dedicated to the fashionable bag.
'I wonder if the Walmart Birkin bag knew it was going to embody all of 2024,' a TikTok user @yourfinestpardon said in a recent video, while showing a picture of the Walmart tote bag. 'A normal Birkin is $30,000 to $80,000 plus, depending on the bag,' the fashion content creator continued.
'The idea of the Birkin is that you see it, you know you can't afford it - you can't even get an invite into the store to buy the Birkin.'. 'And not everyone invited to the store can even purchase a Birkin - it is that elusive. So Walmart just said well how about we make a Birkin and we make it $80.'.
