Are you longing for a Birkin bag? Aren’t we all? Why not satisfy your craving and, at the same time, show just how much you can laugh at yourself by carrying one of these bad boys?
Until the glorious day comes that I can convince the hubs that a Birkin bag really IS a good investment, I’m kind of loving the idea of showcasing my lust object on a canvas tote. These bags have been floating around for a while now and I think I’m finally sold on scoring one. Am I alone?

I’ve seen these around and they always make me laugh! Hermes bags are so nice but the prices are killer! Guess I’ll be sticking to scarves for now.
[Reply]
Yay! I so want one of these? Ooo I hope they have Chanel!
[Reply]
ha! This is brilliant! xo
[Reply]
Giggling like crazed lady over at my end!
[Reply]
This is too funny and how clever are these totes! This meets my budget much more than a Birkin
[Reply]
Love this! Would be the closest to the real deal that I would ever have!!!
[Reply]
Haha I have seen those before, so funny!

i love this substitute bag, and it is close enough for a double take!
[Reply]
Haha, I actually visited a showroom about a year ago – with these bags, and the people I was with thought this was the most ridiculous idea ever. But it seems like a lot of people like it!

[Reply]

So, are they so popular that they skyrocketed in price? Hahaha!
[Reply]
That is hilarious!
[Reply]
Did my comment go into limbo?
[Reply]
Yep it did.
repost:
That is hilarious, I love it!
Or something like that was said.
[Reply]
See I’d be ok to carry around that kind of “knock off”…
and since by the time I can afford one (if I start saving now) I’ll be to old to remember who the heck “birkin” and “hermes” is…
[Reply]
i love it!!! the best way to make fun of something like this!
[Reply]
Nooooooo….I love that bag and have wanted it as much as a birkin.
Well maybe not. lol.
I dont get the price. i think its outrageous but hey we all want one still.
[Reply]
Haha! Hilarious. Now if only they did one for the mulberry alexa
[Reply]
Yay, love that tote!! Such a fun design.
[Reply]
What a clever (and cheeky!) bag…. fun find!
[Reply]
I’m definitely on board. This is beyond cute! <3 I just love canvas bags with funny designs haha.

Very cute and much more affordable, although I haven’t given up the dream of owning a Birkin one day (fingers crossed one of the children get a scholarship to college may be my only shot at this point).
[Reply]
So cute (and fun)!
[Reply]
This is one of my new favorite things. LOVE it!
[Reply]
Haha! What a fun idea. I’m a bit of a tote bag junkie. And amazingly enough, I seem to use all the ones I’ve collected over the years. I guess I like to carry around a lot of stuff.
[Reply]
these are adorable – i also love their “chanel” series. they’re just fun

A post on Banane Taipei Birkin bags posted on my page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fashion-Blog-La-Mode-by-GV-Miao-an-Oriental-Perspective/277566999964
____________________________
Is it a HERMES or BANANE TAPEI BIRKIN BAG?
I first learnt about Banane Taipei (http://bananataipei.com/) from an Italian blogger/editor I met in Milan. Made in Taipei, Taiwan, Banane Taipei launched in Spring 2011 which signature eco-friendly Birkin Bags may mislead you into thinking that they’re from Hermès at first glance. It’s believed that legal action will be taken against Banane Taipei for violating copyright, but hey wait, let’s look at it from another angle. First of all, it’s just a gimmick. They humorized the Hermès logo to make their customers smile. Hermès Birkin Bags are expensive; Banane Taipei Birkin Bags are a low-end version for the mass. Banane Taipei’s designers are in fact the wisest entrepreneurs. What do you say?
[Reply]
Hahahaa, that is super cute. I’d carry that!
[Reply]
haha…too cute

Much less stuffy than the real thing!
[Reply]
Hahaha!! This is so great. NEED!
[Reply]
I think this is really funny, but I would rather save my money for a bag that looks good and holds up well, even if it isn’t a Birkin. That’s what style is to me–using what you can afford to look the best that you can. I’m not saying I’m a great example of this, but I’m working on it!
