A brand new bag from Kmart Australia is flying off the shelves after bargain hunters discovered it was an ‘exact copy’ of an expensive luxury bag.
Shoppers are ‘obsessed’ with the Canvas Bucket Bag ($18), with many saying it ‘looks just like’ Spanish fashion brand Loewe’s Balloon Bag ($3,990).
Both bags have an off-white canvas base and brown leather details and straps.
Thanks to the drawstring, this accessory is an interesting addition to any outfit.
Buyers have shared rave reviews about the bag online.
“I actually prefer the Kmart one,” said one woman, while another added, “The Kmart version looks the nicest.”
Many mothers are also opting for the Kmart bag for their daughters, who have become obsessed with the higher-end version after seeing the bags go viral on social media.
Fashion trends can change in the blink of an eye and Australian women are struggling to keep up with the latest trends due to the cost of living crisis.
