Go to like any large city and people sell knockoffs for cheap on the sidewalk.

Not necessarily complying with all relevant IP laws of course.

“homage Birkin”

A knockoff? Is that what people are calling knockoffs these days?

A fake looks like an original, and is something which wrongfully and illegally misuses the original’s logo or other marks: it lies about what it is.

A homage is something which looks like an original, but does not use the original’s logo or other marks. I have no problem with an homage.

‘Knockoff’ could refer to either of those. What I would like is a well-constructed reproduction of a Birkin bag, which does not misappropriate Hermès’s trademarks.

I can find many results for "Birkin inspired handbags".
