Walmart seems to have been paying close attention to all the hubbub about its so-called "Walmart Birkin" or "Wirkin"—the under-$80 Hermès imitator that skyrocketed to viral fame after it was tracked down by TikTokers this winter. The mega-retailer is responding not by dealing in more dupes, but helping shoppers get closer to the real things.
Hermès Birkin bags are internationally recognized as a status symbol. The brand markets the bag through its exclusivity, as it can’t be purchased through a standard retail experience. Birkins are bestowed upon those Hermès deems worthy, in back rooms of the store. A sacred exchange between you and your sales associate.

The move follows the viral success of the “Wirkin,” a dupe of the famous Hermès Birkin bag, and marks a significant step in Walmart’s resale business. By offering luxury goods at accessible prices, Walmart aims to broaden its appeal to high-income shoppers who have been driving recent sales growth.
The viral “Walmart Birkin,” an affordable alternative to the high-end Hermès Birkin bag, gained widespread attention on TikTok for mimicking the luxury look at a fraction of the price. Although Walmart has removed the listing, it inspired a market for stylish dupes.
