Kmart Australia shoppers go wild over $22 version of sell-out $650 buy: ‘It looks designer’
Kmart Australia shoppers reluctant to spend hundreds of dollars on a designer handbag have discovered a $22 ‘dupe’ of a $650 luxury tote.
Fashion blogger, known as Kmart Insiderhas found an affordable alternative to Tory Burch’s Ever-Ready handbag, according to her.
‘A designer bag without extras?! It’s a hard YES,” the blogger said.
The handbag-friendly printed model has a removable coin pocket, handles, a popper closure, a main compartment and a zipped pocket.
The brown mono handbag is made of synthetic plastic.
The blogger also pointed out that the $22 item is a great option for those who can’t afford a Louis Vuitton handbag, which can cost more than $3,000.
Many were impressed by her comparisons of Kmart and Tory Burch handbags, with one saying: ‘I literally saw the Kmart bag today… I may have to go back for it again.’
Another said: ‘Oh, wow… this is so cool.’

The purse-friendly handbag seems “expensive,” but it only costs $22
Meanwhile, those who own an expensive Louis Vuitton handbag admitted they can never fully enjoy it because they fear damaging it.
‘To be honest, I have an LV bag that is as good as new because I hardly use it. It just sits there in its cloth cover. Meanwhile, my everyday bag is a Kmart bag,” one person said.
Last month, Kmart shoppers were obsessed with a $10 item that looked almost identical to a $200 pair of Birkenstock sandals.
Bargain hunters said the Kmart sandals were an affordable alternative to the expensive brand’s classic Arizona with gold buckles.
The cheaper glasses are flying off the shelves across Australia – with fans claiming they are ‘better than Birks’ – especially considering their extremely low price.
Both designs of the shoes are similar, but despite the huge price difference, there are many key features that the Kmart version does not have.

Birkenstock is widely known for its high-quality, solidly constructed and durable sandals that provide unparalleled comfort and support thanks to the contoured footbed.
The shoes are made from a mixture of natural cork, latex and real leather.
The budget-friendly slip-on slippers have an almost perfect rating: an average of 4.7 out of 5 stars.
Many claim that the sandals are surprisingly comfortable – and that they are a ‘great alternative’ for those who can’t afford the more expensive version.
‘I love this one, super comfortable, yet easy to combine with most types of clothing. They run a little small I think, so keep that in mind,” one person said.
‘Comfortable sandal and color match most outfits. Looks a lot like Birkenstock sandals,” another enthused.
‘This one looks very similar to the original Birkenstock. It is very comfortable and I wear it everywhere. It’s amazing and looks beautiful too,” someone added.
