Amazon Is the Latest Retailer Selling $50 Hermés Birkin and Kelly Dupes

variety.com:

dupes of Hermés’s iconic Birkin and Kelly purses, originals of which can cost upwards of $15,000 — that is if you get off the brand’s infamously long waitlists, which are often not expedited even for the most A-list of celebrities.

Discourse surrounding the accessibility of the luxury French house accessory reached a fever pitch late last year, when Walmart launched their own resale program for designer items, in addition to affordable dupes.

As the most coveted, and expensive, purse in the world became available at one of the most accessible stores around the globe, people quickly took to social media to ask if the Birkin allure could survive without exclusivity.

More harsh critics questioned whether the designer bag was chic at all — and worth a $50 price tag, let alone $15,000 for a real one.
