Shoppers are now heading over to Kmart to cop this $18 designer lookalike!

In the world of fashion, the thrill of snagging a designer look without the hefty price tag is like striking gold.

For savvy shoppers, there's a certain satisfaction in finding that perfect piece that looks like a million dollars minus the actual price tag.

Enter Kmart, the budget-friendly retailer that's become a treasure trove for those in the know.


Recently, the retailer sent style-savvy customers into a shopping sprint with a designer item dupe that typically retails for $840.

Kmart's Moon Crossbody Bag ($18) bore a striking resemblance to Polene's luxe Numero Dix bag.

Kmart's budget version of the bag comes in two colourways—beige and black—great for those who want a clean, minimal look.

The buzz began when a fashion content creator spotted the affordable handbag and shared it online.

'Wow, I need this!' one commenter exclaimed.

'What an amazing dupe,' a second comment read.

'The similarities are unbelievable,' a third pointed out.

Others hailed the find as the 'perfect crossbody bag'.


Yet, it's not just the bag's looks that's causing a stir.

The concept of 'luxury on a budget' has resonated with shoppers, especially during a cost-of-living crunch.

One woman paired the bag with a Kmart dress and showed how to achieve a designer look without denting her wallet.

This is not Kmart's first foray into designer dupes.

The retailer also garnered attention for its Canvas Bucket Bag ($18), which many said was a dead ringer for Loewe's Balloon Bag ($3,990).

One shopper admitted, 'I actually prefer the Kmart one.'

'Kmart's version looks the best,' another fashion enthusiast shared.


The appeal of these dupes extended beyond individual shoppers to families.

Many mums have opted for the Kmart versions of these items for their daughters.

The younger generation, often influenced by viral trends on social media, could enjoy the high-end fashion look without the bill shock.

As fashion trends change faster than the blink of an eye, keeping up with it could get exhausting and expensive.

Kmart's ability to offer on-trend items at a fraction of the cost is a testament to the brand's understanding of its customers' desires for both style and value.

If you want to add elegance to your wardrobe or if you're looking for a gift that won't require dipping into your savings, Kmart's designer dupes could be a budget-friendly solution.
