A designer look for less: Shoppers grab this Kmart steal mimicking one luxury item!

In the world of fashion, the thrill of finding a bargain that looks like a high-end designer piece is unmatched.

For savvy seniors who appreciate style without the hefty price tag, Kmart Australia has become a treasure trove of affordable fashion finds.


The latest gem to catch the eye of budget-conscious fashion fans was a pair of Buckle Slingback Ballet Flats.

Available for $25, the Buckle Slingback Ballet Flats come in three colours—white, red, and black.

The Kmart flats sport a sophisticated design with pointed toes, metal eyelet detailing, buckle-strap fastenings, and low heels.

Fashion enthusiasts immediately pointed out that the flats bore a striking resemblance to a $595 designer pair by Ganni.

The designer version may feature a double row of eyelets. Meanwhile, Kmart's iteration featured a single row of eyelets.


Fashion content creator Kmart Insider immediately took to social media to share the 'perfect dupes' for the Ganni pair.

Shoppers quickly sang praises about Kmart's affordable alternative.

Some shoppers confirmed that the flats were more than just a steal; they were also 'so comfy' to wear.

'I tried these on. They were really comfortable,' another agreed.

'Love the crisp white on the Kmart side,' another pointed out, comparing it with its designer counterpart.

Other shoppers found the Kmart footwear 'cute', prompting them to head to their nearest Kmart to get a pair.


This is not the first time Kmart has offered budget-friendly versions of luxury items.

The retailer introduced an $18 bag resembling Polene's Numero Dix bag, which costs $840.

Kmart's version had two colourways, which gave shoppers an option between beige and black.

Kmart's dupe items sparked a conversation about the value of designer labels versus their affordable counterparts.

While some argued that nothing could beat the prestige of a designer brand, others found joy and practicality in finding similar items without breaking the bank.

So, whether you're updating your wardrobe for a new season or looking for a stylish yet comfortable shoe, it might be worth taking a trip to your local Kmart.
