Including Bottega, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton lookalikes from $18 Late last month, the internet nearly broke over Walmart’s $78 Hermès Birkin duplicate, which social media users quickly dubbed the 'Wirkin' bag.

Walmart is not trying to convince anybody it's copying the real deal, said Koyaana Redstar, a luxury handbag authenticator.

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.
