Recently, there's been a trend among influencers to flaunt their Hermès Birkin bags, but Cuban influencer Pollito Tropical has opted for a more budget-friendly approach. Instead of splurging thousands on a high-end accessory, he found an alternative that he proudly shared with his followers on social media.
“I bought myself a Hermès Birkin from Walmart,” he announced with a chuckle. "This is the bag that everyone has been talking about for a long time. Lately, Walmart has been stirring up some controversy by offering high-end brands like Gucci and Prada," Pollito explained.
While unboxing not one, but two bags—a caramel and a black one—that he purchased from a reseller of Walmart's offerings, Pollito added, “Let me tell you, a lot of people are buying these.” His enthusiasm for the $100 alternatives was clear as he exclaimed, “We no longer need to buy a $20,000 or $30,000 purse because here it is for just $100.”
He humorously addressed the authenticity of his new accessories, saying, “Tell me, who says it's not real? Well, they look fake, let's be honest, but the material is really good,” he added, ending with a playful nod to the bags' counterfeit nature, “They're pretty, let's leave it at that.”
Meanwhile, other Cuban influencers like La Dura, Camila Guiribitey, and Nayer have chosen to invest thousands of dollars in these luxury brand bags.
