3 Hermès dupes that are budget friendly
Coming up on their 185th anniversary, the Hermès brand has become ubiquitous with luxury, elegance, and refinement. Recognized around the world for its silk scarves, timepieces, and heirloom bags, the French luxury goods company is home to some of the most sought-after accessories in existence. Unsurprisingly, with high value comes high prices. With some Hermès bags costing upwards of $2 million, the brand is by no means a bargain buy.
As the average Hermès price tag remains out of reach for the majority of us, we’ve combed through Stylight in search of four Hermès dupes that, in our eyes, are just as chic as its authentic accessories.
1. Hermès Birkin bag
The one, the only, the Hermès Birkin bag. As arguably the most-coveted bag in the world, the Birkin can be traced back to a mid-flight conversation between British actress Jane Birkin and former executive chairman of Hermès, Jean-Louis Dumas. As stylish as it is expensive, you’ll need a hefty chunk of change to join club Birkin. Starting at around $12,000 and climbing to six figures for a single bag, sourcing and buying a Birkin can be a notoriously daunting experience. For the Birkin look at a fraction of the price, check out the logo charm tote bag from Parisian brand, Sandro.

2. Hermès Constance bag
Next to the Birkin, the Hermès Constance bag may be one of the brand’s most recognizable models. With its iconic H-shaped clasp and curved flap, the Constance is designed to be passed on between generations, remaining as stylish as the day it was purchased. With pre-owned Constance bags ranging between $13,000 and $27,000 on Stylight, the shoulder bag is without a doubt a luxury purchase. For a less expensive Constance-like bag, check out the ‘Grace’ from French brand A.P.C.

3. Hermès Evelyne bag
At the outset, the Evelyne bag was intended to be part of the Hermès equestrian section, but thanks to its pared-back design and large perforated H-logo, it has grown to become one the brand’s most sought-after designs. Available for just over $4,000 on Stylight, in comparison to other Hermès bags, the Evelyne is downright affordable. However, if $4,000 remains out of reach, check out the perforated vegetarian leather shoulder bag from Stella McCartney.
