Walmarts $78 Hermès Birkin dupe is a hit on TikTok but fashionistas are divided
The thread used should be of good quality, tightly secured, and seamlessly integrated into the fabric. Each stitch should demonstrate the same level of craftsmanship as the authentic bag, reflecting the brand’s commitment to excellence. When it comes to assessing the quality of a replica Hermes bag, one of the most critical details to examine is the stitching.
Besides the difference in size, TPM Evelyne doesn’t have a back pocket, they don’t slouch as much, and the straps are thinner. The TPM was just so cute, and it’s one of those bags that you just can’t deny the cuteness. The only major difference I noticed is the length of the strap because the authentic is longer compared to the replica. If you’re not familiar with the Hermès Evelyne bag, it’s a very, very functional bag. The authentic one is blue, and I got it 2 years ago (still looks brand new).
The letter will either be stamped on its own replica hermes, stamped inside a square, or stamped inside a circle. For instance, stamping the letter ‘P’ in a square indicates that the bag was produced in 2012. The Birkin and the Kelly have similar structural qualities, but the former has heavier dimensions. Originally made to be a strong, secure carry-on traveling bag (as requested by Jane Birkin), the Birkin is super rigid with a luxurious weight too. The ‘clou’ or metal feet also add to the weight of the Birkin and provide support for sitting, as the bag should able to sit straight always.
The Hermès and Kelly replicas show how our designs pay tribute to these models. Our goal is not to copy them exactly but to respect the spirit of these classics. Every bag we make inherits the influence of these iconic designs in its shape and detail.
The authentic Birkin has larger grains, and the replica has smaller grains. Machine sewing is quicker and costs less, but it’s not as tough as hand sewing. It uses two separate threads, one on top and one underneath, passing through the material in between. In the luxury market, the Birkin bag is seen as a symbol of wealth and taste. This is mainly because they’re only released in limited quantities and you can customize them. It should, for example, run side to side along the length of the bag (as pictured above), not top to bottom.
