Luxurious Style at Affordable Prices
Within three days fake bags online, someone bought a crocodile Birkin for $97,570. Most of our clients prefer to come to us and get exactly what they want the same day without waiting — and that’s why our bags sell at a premium to Hermès’ retail price. We get rare bags because we’ve spent many years cultivating relationships with clients and VIPs, and they know we’re discreet. Walmart has “blended premium products with their hallmark affordability, making it socially acceptable for higher-income shoppers to say, ‘I got this at Walmart,’” Vahdat said. The Walmart Birkin, which is listed as “KAMUGO Genuine Leather Handbags Purse for Women,” has blown up so much, in fact, that it appears to have sold out on Walmart’s website. Walmart didn’t immediately respond to Fortune’s request for comment on whether the product was completely sold out or would be restocked.
While this approach satisfied many clients due to our affordable prices and top-notch customer service, we knew we could do better. All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors. However, StyleCaster may receive a commission on orders placed through its retail links, and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes. One great recent find is the Dune London H sandal which has lots of color choices and a fancy look without the Hermès price.
Authentic Hermès scarves are made from the highest quality silk. The texture is rich, smooth, and slightly weighty with a subtle sheen. Counterfeit scarves often use polyester or lower-grade silk that feels lighter, shinier, or overly slippery. Compare the logo to known authentic versions to check for discrepancies. Misspellings (like “HERMES PARIS” without the accent) are immediate deal-breakers.
Hermès bags (especially the signature Kellys and Birkins) are made with high-grade metals such as gold or palladium, which feel heavy and substantial. Certain leather types and colors are only used in specific years, and you can tell if a Hermès bag is genuine if the leather, color, and blind stamp coincide. Hermès bags use genuine leather, which doesn’t have perfect patterns, so if you spot a Hermès bag with leather that looks manufactured, take that as a red flag.
