The Hermes Birkin bag is the ultimate status symbol in the fashion world. Known for its structured silhouette, luxe leather, and iconic gold hardware, the Birkin isn’t just a bag—it’s an investment. With prices starting at tens of thousands of dollars and soaring into six figures for the most rare versions, the Birkin’s exclusivity makes them impossible to own. But what if you could channel that same fab aesthetic without spending a fortune? Enter Walmart’s shockingly stylish Birkin dupe (now being dubbed the “Wirkin”), available for the shockingly low price of $89.99. Though, Walmart calls it, the “Fashion Leather Handbag for Women, Ladies Shoulder Bag Fashion Classic First Layer Cowhide Top Handle Satchel.” (I mean, you can tell they packed in the keywords for search purposes.)
About the Birkin Dupe at Walmart

This affordable Birkin alternative, from brand Luckypep, captures the Birkin’s classic shape, elegant handles, and even a similar lock-and-key detail that mimics the original’s signature hardware. (Whether or not, this is okay with Hermes, we highly doubt it.) While this handbag doesn’t carry the Hermes name — or the price tag — the budget Walmart alternative resembles the real deal from afar, at a quick glance. Upon closer inspection, Birkin aficionados know.
Walmart’s site highlights the following features in its “Wirkin” product listing (which we’ve summarized below because the original copy reads like it was written by AI):
- Upgraded hardware made with international cold ironing technology that won’t easily fade
- Exquisite craftsmanship hand-made with raw materials
- Excellent quality with a first layer of cowhide,
- Comes with a golden lock to increase the security of bag anti-theft
- Internal structure is stylish, practical al and simple
It comes in various colors, like: pink, black, green, rose red, yellow, purple, denim blue, sapphire blue, and most notably, orange—just to name a few.
