What is the ‘My Birkin’ trend on TikTok?
Charles Gross introduced the audio for the TikTok trend back in March when he showed one Birkin bag and then another, saying: “My Birkin. Another Birkin. But what makes these two Birkins different?”
He was referring to the famous bag made by French designer Hermès, named for British actress Jane Birkin.
Since its creation in 1984, Birkin bags have become one of the most coveted handbags of all time.
They’ll also cost you between $9k and $500k, making them a highly coveted status symbol, often seen on the arms of celebrities.
Charles Gross’ video is just outlandish enough that it’s caught the attention of millions of viewers.
Naturally, other creators on the social media platform decided to use the audio for their comparisons of two similar-but-not-the-same objects.
What are TikTok creators comparing using the trend?
This is where people are getting creative, and it’s hilarious.
One creator from #SwiftTok compared Taylor Swift’s Folklore album to its sister album, Evermore.

That’s one secret he’ll never tell.

He occasionally responds to TikTok trolls regarding his wealth but doesn’t disclose his occupation or whether he comes from a wealthy family.
