Remember Walmart’s Birkin bag, affectionately referred to as the “Wirkin”, that debuted almost exactly a year ago? Yes, it’s back with a vengeance…not that we’re the least bit surprised or disappointed about it.
This Hermès lookalike that just went viral on social media didn’t originate from any particular brand. Instead, they were offered by Walmart’s various third-party retailers, often for less than $100. Unsurprisingly, nearly every last version of the chic, structured carryall sold out on the site in no time, and many legal experts weighed in on its implications (the big buzz at the time was about the potential of the OG) birkin (Based on the latest manifestation of this “duck culture”, values are being reduced).
Despite criticism and sell-outs, the Walmart Birkin dominated the cultural conversation a year later in 2025. Bethenny Frankel is Focused on TikTok In January of this year, she followed up on her instantly popular video, which racked up hundreds of thousands of likes, in which she showed off a real Birkin and a fake Birkin. Allow the viewer to guess Which is legal? (Hint: It’s almost impossible to do this from behind a screen.)
At WWD Shop, we have faithfully tracked the stock levels of the “Wirkin” bag since its full-scale introduction in 2024. And now, it’s back and better than ever, just in time for the pre-holiday season and post-holiday gift rush. For just $59.99 at Walmart, the Dasein Top Handle Satchel Tote is a spacious, sophisticated beauty that will elevate any fall/early winter ensemble. With a removable shoulder strap, gold-tone hardware, and multiple pockets to carry all your everyday essentials from work to happy hour, this bag has the looks and functionality to make a stranger ask you, “How much?”
Authentic leather-clad Birkin handbags typically cost between $20,000 and $35,000. Imagine your luck as this special alternative is on sale for over 80% off as we speak. And when it comes to aesthetic integrity, the vegan leather has the same pebble-patterned look, and its central lock embellishment mirrors the signature details of a real Birkin. Birkin is a fashion icon that was the direct result of Jean-Louis Dumas, former CEO of Hermès, having a chance encounter on a plane with actor, singer, and eventual fashion house muse Jane Birkin (the rest, as they say, is history and you can go read all about it).

Not only that, the brand Dasein also offers shoppers another wristlet that is identical to the larger one but comes with the purchase. You can use it as a clutch, a wallet, or something to carry in place of a large shoulder bag on nights when all you need is your lipstick and credit card. Best of all, the silhouette is available in 17 different shades. This is more than most Hermès Birkin models can claim. Whether you choose a dark, moody coffee in line with the 2025 Pantone Color of the Year, a pink hue over wrinkled faux ostrich leather, or a deep red that promises to bring a welcome pop of color to your monochrome capsule wardrobe, know that the Dasein Top Handle Satchel Tote is sure to be a crowd-pleaser ( ah and ah Christmas morning).
Budget-friendly enough to get yourself, all your best friends, your mom, and all the other important women in your life, Walmart Birkins are gloriously back in stock and here to make your holidays the best of the best. It also includes bank accounts.
