during that dead zone between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. The story was that Walmart had begun selling a bag from third-party sellers for around $80 that looked incredibly similar to the and exclusive bag from Hermés.

According to several women who bought it, and whom I later spoke with , the dupe had been available both in store and online at Walmart.They also gave the bag rave reviews, not just as a dupe but as a nice leather tote.“When I received it, I thought it was a very well-made bag,” one happy customer told me. “Even if it wasn’t a dupe or an ‘inspired’ bag, I would still love it.

It’s great for holding a lot of items. I’ve traveled with it, used it for work, and even used it to hold my groceries.”After I finished my story, I had an idea.
