Fashion giant’s $25 million consumer law fine exposes shopping rights every Aussie should know

Remember when you could rely on Noni B for a reliable frock, or pop into Millers for comfortable basics? For millions of Australian women, particularly those over 50, these weren't just shops—they were trusted go-to destinations that understood what they wanted and delivered it without fuss.




That trust was shattered when Mosaic Brands, the company behind these beloved retailers, was hit with a staggering $25.05 million penalty by the Federal Court—one of the largest consumer law fines in Australian history.



The reason? Nearly 740,000 orders were delivered later than what would be considered reasonable, with wrongfully accepted payments making up almost 25 percent of total online sales during a six-month period.





The Court also found that 4,213 items were never delivered at all, compounding the losses for customers.



But this isn't just another corporate fine story—it's a wake-up call about your shopping rights that could save you money and frustration in the future.



In this article




The brands you knew and loved


Mosaic Brands owned nine familiar fashion retailers that many Australian seniors shopped with regularly:


• Noni B - the original brand, founded in 1977


• Millers - affordable everyday wear


• Rockmans - classic styles for mature women


• Katies - work and casual wear


• Rivers - family fashion and footwear


• Autograph -plus-size fashion


• W.Lane - sophisticated styles


• Crossroads - bohemian-inspired clothing


• BeMe - body-positive fashion


All stores have now permanently closed following the company's collapse.




When promises became problems



The ACCC's investigation revealed that more than half of the questioned items were dispatched 30 or more days after ordering, while about one-third took 40 or more days.



One customer 'experienced the dual disappointment of never receiving the goods they'd paid for and then having to wait six months for a refund'.



These weren't isolated incidents. Mosaic had already been fined $29,000 for underpaying workers and nearly $900,000 for 'excessive and lengthy delays' in delivery between May 2021 and September 2022. The warning signs were there, but customers kept shopping in good faith.



The company's collapse was swift and brutal. After entering voluntary administration in October 2024, Mosaic moved into liquidation by July 2025, with all remaining brands—including the final holdouts Millers and Noni B—permanently closing.





A creditor report in February 2025 revealed Mosaic owed more than $318 million in total debt:


2,800 staff were owed $22 million in wages (likely to be paid in full).


• Secured creditors were owed $54 million (expected to be recovered).


• Unsecured creditors were left with $242 million in debts across 613 claimants, with little chance of recovery.





'Delivery times matter and it is unacceptable to mislead consumers about this aspect of a sale'

Catriona Lowe, ACCC Deputy Chair



The human cost behind the numbers



The real tragedy isn't just corporate—it's personal. Small suppliers who relied on consistent payments from major retail clients to keep their own businesses afloat are particularly affected by the situation. Twenty-three Bangladeshi exporters may not be able to pay factory workers, with $20 million owed to these international suppliers.



For customers, the experience was equally frustrating. ProductReview.com.au reveals the reality: customers trying to get refunds from Katies and Rockmans were left empty-handed after discovering 'back in October 2024 Mosaic Brand have gone bust'.



Gift card holders were left 'in limbo, as there is no clear plan for refunds or redemptions' when the company collapsed.









Understanding your shopping rights



The Mosaic Brands case highlights consumer protections many Australians don't fully understand. Here's what the Australian Consumer Law guarantees you:



Delivery timeframes matter: Businesses must not accept payment if 'they know, or should know, that they won't be able to supply the products or services by the promised date, or within a reasonable time'.



Refund rights without time limits: Consumers' right to a refund for a faulty item does not have a set time limit under Australian Consumer Law—despite what some store policies might claim.









Reasonable delivery expectations: The basic consumer rights known as consumer guarantees apply to all purchases, including the guarantee that services are provided within a reasonable time.



Did you know?


What Does This Mean for You?
If you don't receive online orders within a reasonable time, the seller must provide a solution—either sending the item promptly or offering a full refund. You don't have to accept store credit or vouchers if goods aren't delivered as promised. Contact the business first, but if they won't help, you can report them to the ACCC or your state consumer protection agency.



Protecting yourself from future disappointments



The collapse of such well-known brands serves as a reminder that even familiar names can face financial troubles. Here's how to shop more safely:



Check company health: Look for warning signs like repeated sales, store closures, or customer complaints about delayed deliveries.









Payment protection: Consider claiming a chargeback through your bank if you paid on credit card and don't receive goods.



Gift card caution: Gift cards must have at least three years' validity from purchase date, but they become worthless if the company collapses.



Know the red flags: Unusual website URLs, typos, grammatical errors, and huge discounts that seem too good to be true can indicate problem retailers.










Your consumer rights toolkit



  • Businesses cannot accept payment if they can't deliver within a reasonable time

  • You're entitled to refunds, not just store credit, for faulty or undelivered goods

  • There's no time limit on refund rights for faulty products

  • Credit card chargebacks can help recover money from failed retailers

  • Report persistent problems to the ACCC or state consumer agencies




The bigger retail reality



Mosaic's core customer group was women aged 50+, a demographic that wasn't growing, while younger shoppers weren't interested in the brands. The rise of online 'fast fashion' retailers like Temu and Shein intensified competition, making it harder for traditional retailers to survive.



Administrators determined the company was often competing against itself for the same customers within shopping centres, struggling with high costs and a lack of product differentiation.



This pattern isn't unique to Mosaic. The ACCC recorded at least 2,760 reports of fake online stores in 2023, with online shopping scams costing Australians over $6.2 million.









What happens next?



With administrators confirming there isn't enough money from asset sales to cover debts owed to secured creditors, suppliers and landlords who provided services before October 28, 2024, are unlikely to recover anything.



The $25 million penalty, while symbolic of accountability, comes too late for the thousands of customers and suppliers left out of pocket. As the ACCC noted, the penalties should serve as a warning to other retailers that 'excessive delivery delays after accepting payment can lead to penalties of this magnitude'.



What This Means For You


For Australian shoppers, particularly seniors who valued these familiar brands, the message is clear: knowing your rights isn't just helpful—it's essential protection in an increasingly complex retail landscape.

I stopped buying from these stores quite some time ago. Their range and style of product had become very poor.
I shop on line with Temu now. Their range is enormous, delivered free to your door. On the whole the quality is better than that of most of Mosaic's brands and if you do wish to return something you are given a refund immediately and are usually told to retain the product.
More expensive items can be returned for free also. Unlike many Australian companies where the cost of return sometimes exceeds the value of the item you are returning.
Yes, it's a Chinese website, but where do people think Mosaic's brands came from.
China, Vietnam, Bangladesh, India etc.
The only quality products were stocked by Noni B.
If we were to insist on Oz made we would all be walking around naked.

I’m with you on TEMU. I did order a few things from Katie’s, Crossroads and Rivers, especially when Katie’s had their 7/8 length jeans, the length s perfect as full length for me - I’m sure I will be ok for them for many years to come lol
 
Many, many women relied on Millers in Port Macquarie, NSW.
Buggered if I know where they're going to go now.
More than likely Target & KMart are probably the only ones for them to shop.

I'd love to see that, i.e. getting about naked.
 
It’s all very well to say we must be given goods or refund, but MOSAIC flat-out REFUSED!
I was suckered into the MILLERS heavy advertising targeting its member customers to buy the impossible to find Hand Sanitiser in small “purse size” bottles at $50 per box plus p&h.
Hand Sanitiser was sold out everywhere as people panicked and quickly wiped out supplies

The government repeatedly bombarded us on TV, radio, internet, print media every day with orders to use and carry hand sanitiser (if you wanted to survive Covid-19). People were terrified!
I bought three boxes of the MILLERS hand sanitiser bottles for $179.95
Getting it was another matter!
Multiply phone calls and emails did nothing. MILLERS’ shop staff were continually approached by customers wanting their hand sanitiser but they claimed not to know of any ‘offers’ of hand sanitiser specials by MILLERS stores.

Phone calls told me it impossible to refund online prepaid orders.
Eventually, NINE MONTHS later, this order arrived. The product was rubbish! It was basically water. It was NOT what was advertised and sold. But I still could not get my refunds for this rubbish.
Much later, the ACCC hit MOSAIC with fines for selling its useless product that was missing the legally required levels of Covid hand sanitiser content.
As far as I know, no purchasers received refunds, and there were hundreds of thousands of us in Australia alone.

I wrote to “CHOICE” - they had no suggestions how to force refunds.

When suppliers flatly refuse to obey the law, exactly what can we do?
Do we call the police and demand arrest?
Consumer Affairs is useless, and a nightmare to get through to, their firms are an intentional nightmare.
Government departments are NOT interested and refuse to assist in any way.
So, go on, SDC, you tell us exactly what we can do to get out pension money back after being lied to by unscrupulous, cheating businesses who already know we can do nothing against them.

Standing in a shop, with new handbag and receipt, to be told by an asian shopgirl that the item is over two months old so cannot be replaced or refunded was a beauty as well.
Should I have called the police to that shop, demanding my rights after the stitching and zipper broke? I knew my rights, but I could not get them!

I also do nearly all of my clothing shopping from Temu, Its easy and fast and the range is enormous, no complaints from me apart from fabric description especially with summer clothing, polyester can mean a lot of things, including nylon, so with summer tops it is a bit hit and miss the description is usually one word only so not too many clues there, I would prefer to feel the cloth as the old saying goes not so easy to do when buying from a website but on the whole I am more than happy with Temu shopping, its just amazing the amount of things that you can find that you did not know you needed til you saw them:oops:
 
I clothes shop at Kmart , target. Big w I try for size either in store or at home . These shops apart from big w are easy to get a refund, usually have 30 to 90 days. I know it’s not Australian made , but even DJs and Myers clothing is from o/s. I often use the local op shop for a bit of variety
 
I have bought from Temu, some nice tops a year or two ago, will last some time. I recenty bought from Kmart slacks and pjs, what do they think we are, all about 7 foot tall. I have had to take them up myself. I suppose I was spoiled by Millers short lengths. I recently bought some fleece pants from Black Pepper short length and they appear to be reasonable quality and warm. I will probably buy from them again for summer when on sale (someone will probably tell me they are from China as well).

I tested TEMU and was surprised by the speedy delivery and the overall quality of it.
Sure. some is crap, However it was a cheep buy considering what it was, a cheep foot massager knowing it was to good of a price for what it was.
Other than that I am a happy shopper and who is to blame for me supporting China?
 
I avoid buying clothes online. I tried to shop with rivers many yeats back and I could not geyt the clothes to fit when they arrived .. So did what I should have done in the first place.
Jumped into the car, gone to the shop and tried them on before buying.
they took back the clothes I bought and exchanged them for the correct size and colour ettc.
Maybe they gave me service just to shut me up ... I know I can be annoying when I want to be. :confused: :D :D :D
