Get high-fashion looks for less with Kmart's newest $40 item!

Fashion enthusiasts and budget-conscious shoppers alike gather around!

Kmart has done it again—delivering head-turning looks for a fraction of the price.

The budget retailer's newest item had fans rallying to their nearest Kmart store to score this new winter find.


The retail giant introduced a new Boucle Jacket that's causing quite a stir.

The $40 jacket bears a striking resemblance to Celine’s iconic Chasseur Jacket in Boucle Tweed Black, priced at a whopping $5,600.

The jacket's design echoed the timeless elegance of Parisian chic.

It gave a nod to the classic designs that have graced the runways and streets of fashion capitals for decades.

The Kmart boucle jacket, with its cropped silhouette and woven loop-style fabric, was reminiscent of the luxurious Chanel suits that have become synonymous with high-end fashion since 1950.

The jacket featured long sleeves, a button-up front, and mock pocket flaps with button detail, making it a great addition to any wardrobe.

It's versatile enough to be worn at formal events or to elevate a daily casual ensemble.

The beauty of this piece lies in its ability to blend seamlessly with various styles, ensuring that you look polished and put together.


Kmart's version may not be made from the same wool and cotton blend as Celine's, but its composition of polyester, viscose, acrylic, and nylon meant it was lighter and easier on the wallet.

The social media user behind the account Kmart Insider shared the find online, and it wasn't long before its fashion-forward followers buzzed with excitement.

'Kmart is the nicest,' one comment read.

'Running to the website', several followers said, expressing their eagerness to snag the bargain find.

One shopper gushed about the jacket's 'perfection', while another already planned to 'run, not walk' to get their hands on it.


Several fans called for the release of additional colours, as the Boucle Jacket only comes in black.

American brand Target also dipped into the boucle trend, offering a similar jacket in two colours—cream and black—for $60, giving shoppers options to achieve designer looks for less.

Kmart's knack for producing savvy dupes of designer items is not new.

They previously captured the hearts of bargain hunters with items like their pop-coloured $15 quencher cups, a budget-friendly alternative to the popular Stanley cups.

If you're looking to update your wardrobe with a piece that exudes elegance and sophistication, Kmart's boucle jacket might be the item for you.

According to Kmart's spreadsheet, they source their apparel from 984 different factories based in China, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia and Cambodia, with the huge majority being Chinese.

Whatever quality control systems they have in place, they are substandard to say the least.

Typical Chinese made copy. That's what China does with everything. Just copy cats & use cheap & nasty materials that don't last. There quality is rubbish with everything they are involved in.
