Amazon’s Birkin-Style Bag Is Still in Stock, Weeks After Walmart ‘Wirkin’ Sold Out

The Walmart Birkin went viral on social media earlier this year after savvy shoppers discovered the Hermes handbag dupe on the department store site. Multiple variations of the iconic handbag were sold — and then quickly discontinued — on Walmart.com, after thousands of shoppers flooded the site to add the “Wirkin” to cart.

Now, a similar Birkin alternative has popped up online — this time on Amazon. The best news: this Birkin-style bag is still in-stock as of this writing.

This Amazon seller is listing a Birkin-like handbag, complete with the signature top flap, buckle clasps and structured boxy design. It even comes with a matching lanyard. Inside, find multiple compartments and pockets to help you organize your stuff. At just under 12 inches wide, the bag is ideal for the office, running errands and fancy nights out alike.

This set includes an adjustable and removable shoulder strap, and we’re partial to the rich brown shade seen above, which gives off an elegant and luxurious look.

This $150 Birkin-like satchel above, is made from a genuine cowhide leather, per Amazon, and looks just like the real thing. The material is scratch-resistant and tear-resistant and easily wipes down for cleaning. It’s a good way to get the Birkin look for less.

Amazon has a number of other Birkin-style bags online, including this above version which measures just over 12 inches in size and is made from a waterproof PU leather and

Oxford cloth. The two-tone design adds visual appeal while offering a classic, Upper East Side look. The removable strap, meantime, lets you wear this as a handbag, shoulder bag or crossbody bag.

If you want the Birkin look but not an exact replica, Amazon shoppers like the “Lock & Charm” bag above. It measures approximately 12 x 14 inches in size and is crafted from a textured vegan leather with durable stitching and reinforced base for durability. The lock closure in the center of the bag is just decorative, though a main zippered compartment helps you close the bag and keep your belongings in place. A bonus: this satchel bag includes a matching wristlet wallet. Choose from more than a dozen colors online.

Of course, even though the Walmart Birkin is no longer in stock (at least as of this writing), you can actually buy a real Birkin on Walmart.com. The site has teamed up with REBAG to offer authenticated, pre-loved luxury handbags and accessories. See their full selection here.

On an earnings call last week, Hermès CEO Axel Dumas officially had “no comment” on the Walmart Birkin, though he let slip that he was “irritated” by copycat bags. Still, the CEO concedes that no one will believe that they are getting a real Hermès bag, since sites like Walmart and Amazon aren’t selling counterfeit versions, but rather similar-looking alternatives. Dumas added that it was “quite touching” to see the desire in shoppers to get their hands on the real thing.

Amazon doesn’t have any authentic Birkin bags that we’re seeing, though Amazon’s Luxury Stores section has other real and verified Hermes bags and accessories. Shop the selection here.
