Kmart has quietly launched a chic new black bouclé jacket that will look perfect on the streets of Paris – and it’s already selling out in stores across Australia.
The $40 garment is elegantly cut and made from the chic, bouclé-style loop fabric that made Chanel suits famous.
It comes with long sleeves, a button front and mock pocket flaps with button detail.
The classic and timeless jacket is ideal for elegant and formal occasions and also for combining with jeans and everyday outfits.
Short bouclé jackets have been a fashion staple since Coco Chanel launched her first version in 1950.
Fans have noticed that the Kmart jacket is a near-perfect copy of Celine’s coveted bouclé tweed chasseur jacket, also in black, which retails for a whopping $5,600.
Celine’s version is made from wool and cotton, but Kmart’s contains polyester, viscose, acrylic and nylon, making it much lighter to wear and at a much more attractive price.
Instagram account Kmartinsider shared the incredible new find with her followers who were eager to get their hands on the elegant piece.
Kmart’s new $40 bouclé jacket is a timeless classic that effortlessly elevates everyday style.
The Kmart jacket has been called a perfect duplicate of this Celine chasseur jacket that retails for $5,600.
“Kmart is the best,” said one fan.
“Oh my god, I’m running to the website,” another agreed.
One woman gushed: “Perfection! And what a bargain!”
“So, buy running, not walking,” said another.
People couldn’t believe how “impeccable and polished” the Kmart jacket was.
One fan thought the classic black jacket should also be released in other colors, particularly a cream version, which would be “divine.”
Shoppers noted that Target has a similar bouclé jacket in cream and black for $60.
This isn’t the first time Kmart has delighted fans with its clever knockoffs of more expensive designer items.
Their $15 pop-color version of the viral Stanley Quencher drinking cups, which retail for $80, were a huge hit with fans and sparked a buying frenzy.
