Shoppers reluctant to shell out thousands of dollars for a popular luxury item have discovered what they claim to be Target’s “perfect dupe” for just $20.
An Australian fashion blogger, known as Kmart Insider on Instagram, she found what she believed was an affordable alternative to French designer brand Van Cleef & Arpels’ jewelry collection, with each piece priced between $4,700 and $7,600.
“These Van Cleef prints from Target Australia will make you feel like royalty,” she said.
Target’s purse-friendly bundle, featuring a shamrock charm design and available in three colors (malachite green, onyx black, and pearl), includes a bracelet, necklace, and a pair of earrings for just $20.
The packaging looks strikingly similar to the high-end jewelry collection.
A bracelet would set you back a whopping $7,600, while a necklace costs $4,700 and earrings are priced at $6,850.
Van Cleef & Arpels is widely regarded as one of the world’s most iconic luxury jewelry brands, famous for its signature four-leaf clover design.
Despite the significant price difference, there are key features that the cheaper style lacks.
Shoppers reluctant to shell out thousands of dollars on jewelry from French luxury brand Van Cleef & Arpels have discovered what they claim to be Target’s “perfect dupe” for just $20.
The designer pieces are made with 18-karat gold and malachite gemstones in distinctive patterns, while Target’s version is gold-plated with stone-like clovers.
Kmart is selling a similar range of shamrock-shaped jewelry, including a $4 bracelet, a $7 necklace and a $4 pair of earrings.
Many shoppers were stunned by Target’s “amazing” deal, with many saying it’s a great alternative for those who can’t afford the luxury price.
“Oh my God,” said one.
“Running towards the goal,” another shared.
“I need them, they’re so cute,” one added.
Last month, the blogger behind Kmart Insider found an affordable alternative to Tory Burch’s Ever-Ready bag at Kmart for just $22.
‘A designer-looking bag without the waste?! It’s a tough YES,’ said the blogger.
The bag-friendly printed style features a detachable coin purse, carry handles, a snap button closure, a main compartment and a zip pocket.

The blogger also noted that the $22 item is a great option for those who can’t afford a Louis Vuitton bag, which can cost more than $3,000.
Many were impressed by her comparisons between Kmart and Tory Burch bags, with one saying, “I literally saw the Kmart bag today… I might have to look for it again.”
Another said: ‘Ohh wow… this is great.’
Meanwhile, those who own an expensive Louis Vuitton bag admitted that they will never be able to fully enjoy it because they are afraid of damaging it.
‘The truth is that I have an LV bag that is like new because I barely use it. It’s just there, wrapped in its cloth cover. Meanwhile, my everyday bag is Kmart,’ said one.
