Ah, the elusive Birkin bag. Because the world needed another reason to be jealous of Jane Birkin, Hermés had to create a bag in her honor, and as is the case with so many of these icon-inspired handbags, we had to have it. But with a price tag that starts at a whopping $6,000 and a wait list that's probably that many names long, the chances of getting one are about as low as our chances of seeing Posh without one (which is never).
So what are we to do when we don't want to devote our lives and savings to a search for a satchel that we may never even get? Well fortunately, the Birkin style is actually quite simple, making it easy to find similar (and arguably much more affordable) options that in no way scream "fake!" We've put together a slideshow of look-a-likes at a wide range of prices sure to satisfy anyone in the market for Birkin style on a bank-friendly budget.Still hung up on the handbag? I hear Miss Birkin herself doesn't even carry one!
