Hermés Birkin Bag Alternatives
15
items Can't afford a Birkin? Me neither! I've collated a list of alternatives, all beautiful in their own right.
This is a beautiful, refined bag that comes in some lovely colours.
At over $3,000 it's not cheap, but this structural design will last a lifetime.
It does not have a closure at the top, which is something to be mindful of in terms of security, but is very fashionable for that ‘open bag’ look.

Ferragamo Hug Bag
This bag is one of the smallest bags on the list, but it has a timeless elegance that makes it very appealing. It also comes in a variety of lovely colours.
Sac de Jour Handbags Collection for Women | Saint Laurent | YSL UK
Absolutely stunning bag - a classic Ralph Lauren piece.
RL50 Calfskin Medium Bag for Women
Celine make the most beautiful structured bags, and this is no exception. I love the fold over fastening, which gives it a vintage look.
Classique 16 Bag in Satinated Calfskin - Black
This bag punches well above it's weight - it is under $1,000 but looks far more expensive. It looks roomy, without compromising on style.
Large Dash Bag in Black
This list would not be complete if I didn't include The Hudson. It's everywhere right now, but the classic shape and refined metal detailing should make this a classic.
The Hudson Collection
Songmont is a Chinese brand that seems to be gaining popularity. The Yore Duffle Bag offers a relaxed take on the Birkin.
Medium Yore Duffle Bag - Golden Brown
A smaller, and much much more affordable alternative to the Birkin! Great running around town, and taking you from day to night.
Clementine Bag: Black Pebbled Leather
An affordable classic, this bag looks like it would wear really well and just get better with age. I love the central zipped pocket, for keeping larger items like an iPad secure.
The London Tote Collection | Tote Handbags
The Mulberry Bayswater is a classic in it's own right, but I prefer this more grownup take on the style. The leather bands give this an artsy feel, contrasting against the structured body.
Soft Bayswater
Another Bayswater option from Mulberry. A classic that always looks the part, and provides extra security with the top zip.
Small Zipped Bayswater
This is maybe the smallest bag on the list - but it is handmade in England and looks timeless. Beautiful for going from day to night.
Tusting Holly 1950's Inspired Top Handled Leather Handbag
A mid-size bag from Jasper Conran that is extremely affordable, and looks far more expensive than the price tag.
Gigi Leather Top Handle Grab Bag – Jasper Conran London
Demellier are having a moment, this is the second bag from Demellier on the list. They have nailed a modern-twist on the classic Birkin style.
The New York Collection | DeMellier
I love the simple style of this tote. It doesn't have a clasp, but it looks perfect for throwing your stuff in before heading out the door.
