Prolific Birkin collector Cardi B may be desperately seeking another rare Hermès handbag, but she’s also fond of affordable finds seemingly inspired by the French fashion house.

In a teary-eyed Instagram Stories this past weekend, the “Bodak Yellow” rapper lamented her challenge of tracking down one of the luxury label’s carryalls, among other grievances. “I don’t understand how I don’t got the bag yet,” the Grammy-winning singer says. “Every single day I keep seeing more and more people on my [Instagram] Explore page have the purse, but I can’t find the purse. … Every single day I call my Hermès connect and it’s just still not in the store. … I’m so over it. I’m so tired of everything.” (If you missed it, see fashion influencer Bryan Yambao’s reaction video for a recap.)

Though her first-world problem may not be the most relatable, many of us can identify with the 31-year-old artist’s retail therapy at Target — more specifically, in the shoe department. After bemoaning hard-to-find Hermès, the singer sounds more upbeat while pointing out the Hayley slide sandals from Wild Fable, one of the mass retailer’s on-trend in-house brands. They’re strikingly similar to the Hermès Chypre sandals, which retail for $910. Yup: Cardi B’s favorite Target designer dupes get you the look for 97 percent of the price.

“These are giving Hermès! Thirty dollars!” she exclaims. Indeed, the wallet-friendly slip-ons are only $30 are available in black or white faux leather. They feature a cushioned footbed, a hook-and-loop strap and backless design. (It’s worth noting that the product label seen in Cardi B’s video is for a different pair of shoes.)

For those who want another option, these Nina slide sandals by A New Day offer a similar look for just $20 and come in black, brown and white faux leather, denim and a woven beige.

The “I Like It” singer also honed in on a pair of Universal Thread heeled Western boots ($40) in white that she’d wear with “bootcut jeans and gold hoops,” and these A New Day Maxine ballet flats ($30) that she called “very Chanel.”

The shoes are among Target’s stylish lineup that offers designer looks at a fraction of the luxury price tag, including these Bottega Veneta-inspired woven handbags and tons of luxurious home decor gems.
