They’ve got to get their bag.
Budget fashionistas are flocking to Amazon to snag a designer handbag dupe that looks remarkably similar to an Hermès Kelly.
The satchel, adorned with a top handle and buckle just like the luxury handbag, costs only $42, a fraction of the price tag for an Hermès.
It is available in two sizes and three colors — beige, black and khaki — and is made from polyurethane (PU) leather, a synthetic material meant to mimic the appearance of genuine leather.
Shoppers rave that the tiny tote, sold by the brand Yatoga, is “good quality” and “worth the money.”
“I have dreamed and wished for a Hermès bag as long as I can remember…and honestly can’t see myself spending 50-60K on a bag when I don’t have that, but let me tell you how happy I was when my niece told me about this and man you cannot tell the difference with quality and looks,” one reviewer wrote.
“Yes, no orange box or dust cover but the purse is amazing. Looks so believable that I only use on special occasions.”
“I was truly surprise how nice this bag looks and is function, yet small enough to carry my essentials,” said another satisfied customer. “You cannot go wrong with this ‘Kelly styled’ bag.”
Amazon is now rife with designer dupes. The mania around fashionable faux bags began last year with the “Walmart Birkin.” Nicknamed the “Wirkin,” the $78 purse bares a striking resemblance to the Hermès handbag.
“[For] $80, you can pretend that you got a Birkin,” one “Wirkin” customer previously said in a viral video.
“I mean, everybody’s gonna probably know it’s not, because who the hell has money to spend on a real Birkin?”
Birkins — a notoriously difficult handbag to acquire — are estimated to cost at least $9,000 new, according to past reports, but could ring in at tens to hundreds of thousands on the secondhand market.
For those who want to splurge on the real deal, not a fake from a budget retailer, the brand’s artistic director Pierre-Alexis Dumas revealed that style savants will “have to be patient.”
“You go to a store. You get an appointment. You meet a salesperson. You talk about what you want. It’s not available. You’ll have to wait. They’ll come back to you. It takes a long time,” he previously told CBS News.
“Eventually, it’s gonna happen.”
