The Hermes Birkin is one of the most sought-after bags on the market. But let’s face it, it’s not an easy bag to come by. Not only does it come with a jaw-droppingly exorbitant pricetag, the waitlist is also too long and the brand values exclusivity so much that you can't simply walk into the store and expect to buy one even if you have the money.
While it is no doubt a great investment, not everyone can easily get their hands on a Birkin. So if you’re dreaming of owning a Birkin but don’t have the capability to acquire one just yet, here are some similarly designed totes that you might love as well.
SHOP: Designer Bags You Should Consider Adding to Your Wardrobe If You Love the Hermes Birkin
1. TORY BURCH Lee Radziwill Double Bag
Similar to the Birkin, it features leather sangles, lock-and-key hardware, and an optional cross-body strap. It features a more rectangular shape with unique antiqued brass snap stud closures to secure the multiple divided compartments. It’s also made with a mix of German leather and suede and comes with a single top handle.

2. MULBERRY Mini Zipped Bayswater Tote
Featuring belted leather straps and a miniature Postman’s Lock but in an oval shape rather than a rectangle hardware, the Mulberry Mini Zipped Bayswater Tote is another designer bag Birkin lovers are sure to fall for. It also has one main spacious compartment and an internal slip pocket, making it a stylish yet practical catch-all.

3. SAINT LAURENT Sac de Jour
A classic in its own right, the Saint Laurent Sac de Jour has been likened to the Birkin for the longest time, thanks to its similar clochette and padlock. What makes the Sac de Jour stand out is its accordion sides, leather strap embellishment, and zipper compartment, dividing the bag into two sections for better organization.

4. COACH Brooke Carryall
Leaning more towards the classic satchel look is Coach’s Brooke Carryall. Featuring the brand’s signature logo turnlock closure, and four protective feet at the base, it’s a sleeker, more polished catchall compared to the Birkin. Its slightly curved top and rounded sides give it a vintage feel.

5. MICHAEL KORS Campbell Satchel Bag
Out of all of Micheal Kors’ satchel bags, the Campbell is by far the closest style to the Birkin with its M flap, double top handle, clochette, and rectangular push-lock fastening. The Campbell also comes in two sizes, medium and large.

6. FENDI Peekaboo ISEEU
The Peekaboo is another iconic bag in and of itself. Known for its double timeless twist locks, removable and customizable inner pocket, and sophisticated metalware, the Fendi Peekaboo is often likened to both the Birkin and the Kelly. Versatile in its usage, it can be hand-carried or worn over the shoulder, thanks to the handle and the adjustable, detachable shoulder strap.
