The “Walmart Birkin Bag” has taken the internet by storm, earning its nickname as an affordable alternative to the iconic, luxurious, and expensive Hermès Birkin.
But what is a Walmart Birkin, or as some people call it, a “workin”?
What is a Birkin bag from Walmart?
Birkin bags are synonymous with luxury and luxury.
The Walmart version offers practical options at a fraction of the price.
These totes often retail for prices between $78 and $102, and have gone viral on TikTok as a chic and affordable fashion statement.
This bag is officially sold under names such as “KAMUGO Genuine Leather Handbag Women’s Wallet” and can be purchased on the Walmart website.
However, due to its popularity, it often sells out and prices can soar.
This hype stems from the bag’s sleek design, spacious interior, and striking resemblance to luxury bags.
How much does a real Birkin bag cost? How do you buy a Birkin?
Authentic Hermès Birkin bags start at around $10,000, with rare models fetching more than $500,000.
The exorbitant price is due to premium materials and design, superior craftsmanship (each handmade in France), and exclusivity. Bags are available in limited quantities, so it’s not as easy as walking into an Hermès store.
The brand famously requires customers to build a purchase history and purchase other products before considering purchasing a Birkin. Waiting lists are common and availability is intentionally kept unclear.
And that makes it even more appealing, especially when celebrities and celebrities are seen playing the sport.
For example, incoming first lady Melania Trump is well known for her love of high fashion, and Hermès Birkin bags are a staple in her wardrobe.
She has been photographed carrying a variety of Birkins, including rare exotic skin models, further cementing her status as a style icon with a penchant for high-end accessories.
