What is the 'Wirkin' trend? The Walmart Birkin Dupe for $78 takes the internet by storm

Walmart is making the headlines due to a raging fashion trend. Luxury dupes are common, especially regarding fashion goods such as shoes and bags. However, the 'Wirkin' trend has left the internet divided. The trend can be traced to when users on TikTok started endorsing affordable bags from Walmart. The bags are reportedly the dupes of high-end luxury brand Hermes' Birkins.

While an original Birkin can cost thousands of dollars, the dupe on Walmart is at an impressive price! The bag soon became the talk of the town, and netizens took to the internet to discuss it. While some clamored about getting their hands on the bag, others seemed not too impressed by the dupe.

One user (@DLVermeer) noted that the name 'Wirkin' can be broken down into 'Birkins for the working (wirkin) class'.

One user noted that the trend highlights the socio-economic divide in the society. They wrote,

Many users appeared excited and expressed the need to get one for themselves. One user commented,

"About to treat myself to a Wirkin bag, ‘cause why not?"

Another user (@_iamjamila) resounded the thought and noted,
