The ‘Walmart Birkin’ is no longer available, but these are pretty close

If you don’t have $40K to spend on a Birkin, how about a ‘Wirkin?’

If you've been on TikTok lately, you've almost certainly seen the Walmart Birkin (or the "Wirkin," as many call it). This affordable dupe of the legendary Hermès Birkin bag has taken social media by storm by offering a slice of luxury at a fraction of the price. The Birkin is infamous for its absolutely unattainable cost and exclusivity — one sold last year at auction for $450,000, and they're known for dangling off the arms of celebrities like the Kardashians. But the Wirkin, a wallet-friendly lookalike from Walmart that quickly went viral, has sparked a frenzy among bargain hunters and fashion enthusiasts alike.

People were drawn to the Wirkin because of how convincing it was — it actually looked a lot like a real Birkin bag, just without the astronomical price tag or the hoops required to jump through to purchase an authentic piece from a Hermès store. Ironically, though, the ensuing frenzy to get one caused Walmart to take down the Wirkin listing, which has made the knock-off exclusive in its own right.

So while the original Wirkin is no longer available at Walmart, its legacy lives on in the many similar-looking handbags that still hit the mark when it comes to both style and affordability. And if you're on the hunt for a bag that echoes the Birkin’s iconic look without the hefty price, we’ve rounded up some of the best alternatives on the list below. If you do have $40,000 to drop on a purse, Walmart sells real Birkins, and you can find those at the end of the list.
