Maybe Hermes is worried that the quality of the Wirkin is not so bad and consumers comparing the two will realize that the price difference is not worth it.

I am pretty sure that the issue isn’t in the design itself, it’s that some of these bags have the Hermés logos stamped onto them. THAT immediately makes it a legal issue. Not all of them had the logo, but some did. I’ve noticed that has caused this confusion (12:14) on social media. Walmart, and Amazon, use to sell the equally popular Daisy Rose LV inspired pieces on their sites and they stopped selling them. Yet, you can still get these pieces directly from Daisy Rose at no issue.

So normally fashion dupes are perfectly legal because fashion is *very* rarely protected by copyright. The Wirkin would only be “counterfeit” if it actually said Hermes on it and they were selling it *as* an Hermes bag. Dupes and counterfeit are two different things. However… The Birkin bag design *is* actually trademarked, I came to find out! It’s kind of rare. For example, Valentino only jussssst recently got protection for their rock stud design. Louboutin has protection for shoes sold with red soles. Tiffany has protection with their specific shade of blue. But in many, many other cases dupes are legal, as long as the brand name and brand logo is omitted from the design. I’m sure that Walmart and/or the third party seller received a cease and desist. And this is sort of hilarious and ironic because in two seconds, something from Walmart is almost as rare as something from Hermes😅😅😅

Here's some insight from nosy me that does like to go to certain websites to see what's being faked and how it differs to the originals: These third party sellers are usually just distributors that don't control the production of the many quality variations fakes, you will usually have the factory doing the whole photo-shoot and presentation that then sellers use in their listings which in turn and depending on the traffic they get will eventually get taken down to avoid being easily tracked by the authorities or the brands. So the store you've shopped a few times will suddenly disappear but it really won't matter to the bottom line because there are already other 15 stores selling most of the things they were selling with exactly the same pictures and descriptions, so this seller disappearing form Walmart is probably just that and not necessarily a C&D. Being banned from selling your fake birkins at Walmart is not the end of the day when you still have other websites that do sell worldwide, including Instagram Further context, my local Walmart does sell Book Tote inspired bags in the palm leaf print with the word Summer instead of Christian Dior and those are produced by Walmart via one of their in house store brands

I do suspect Hermes will sue or has, at least, already threatened Walmart, which is why it’s no longer available on their marketplace. The pattern for the Birkin is probably trademarked which I think could be the basis for a lawsuit. But, I’m not an attorney.

They are replicas. Since this has gone viral I would think Hermes is going to take legal action. Walmart is a huge company in the U.S. and their legal team should have known this.

I know I saw a video somewhere of a lady picking up a yellow one while at a Walmart store? Am I losing my mind? I’m sure I saw that. 🤔 YES I JUST FOUND IT when I searched “yellow Walmart birkin”. This shows her buying one at a Walmart store. London Lamborghini is her channel name

This happened to me with labubu I bought 6 sets and when we sold one set the customer said are these real . All I could say was i bought them from Walmart and then later realized what your saying is so true

The Walmart Birkin just proved how much a Birkin is really cost to make, just like the Dior tote which cost $60 then retails for over $2000. The Birkin from Hermes costing at a ridiculous price because Hermes is controlling the accessibility. DeBeers diamond is the same. DeBeers was controlling the price of diamonds. Now we have lab made diamonds which is a lot cheaper and more accessible. Let me say it again for people at the back, no bag is ever cost more than $10 000.

I’m in support of Walmart selling the wirking because there’s no Hermes logo on the bag. I don’t think the lawsuit would be legal because it doesn’t try to pass it off as a Hermes. It’s not illegal to have the same design but only illegal if you use other business trademark. So I think it’s perfectly fine because it does serves the other people that will never be able to afford it. The seller of wirkin should sue Walmart because they are not doing anything illegal!

I think it’s the use of the name BIRKIN that might not be going over to well with HERMES. IF they decide to take action.

I am sorry but Hermes deserves to be rattled a little bit. They were too snobbish ,arrogant ,discriminating and rude to too many customers ( their right perhaps )Maybe this change them a little bit. I didn’t know any this Wilkins until now but 2 weeks ago I came into my Hermes’ boutique who usually ignore me and to my surprise an SA was was introduced to serve me right away… I served drink and cookies (d’ance butter cookies)…I got to buy some Items…were given some sample of perfumes …in general very well treated and for the first time enjoy my visit at the boutique. Could this has anything to do with it?

I also thought it was WALMART who was selling it. Not a third party.

Despite the "popularity" of Walmart in the US, there are many of us who don't like the family's politics or business practices as it relates to their employees. I choose to avoid Walmart for those reasons. I would fully support any action Hermès might have taken to protect their brand.
@seabreeze4559Күн бұрын
"action" on what? They're not using Hermes trademarks, you all need to study up before acting like all IP is the same thing. Patents are NOT trademarks. Category error.

@@seabreeze4559 If the word Birkin is used anywhere, they have cause. It also sounds like the supplier got busted for counterfeiting or some other issue since they are gone
@patriciateague8677Күн бұрын
@seabreeze4559 The fact that it is being called a Walmart Birkin or referenced as a Birkin and has specific trademarked details of the Birkin is sufficient, in my opinion for Hermès to claim infringement.

They cancelled the orders because the seller was not reputable on the real birkins that Walmart was selling for 20,000. So they cancelled them. Makes sense.
