Shoppers are stunned to discover an exact copy of a famous $130 blouse for just $40 at Target.
Fashion trends can change in the blink of an eye, and Australian women have struggled to keep up with the latest purchases.
Target’s Lily Loves Paneled Bustier Top Has Been a Huge Hit With Customers: One Melbourne Woman Kacey revealing that it is identical to her Ariel corset top from luxury fashion brand Kookai.
This timeless fitted top is strapless and comes in white, black and sage.
Kacey shared her experience when she found the blouse at her local store and couldn’t believe her luck.
“I have this beautiful blouse from Kookai, but it costs $130. I went to Target today and found the exact same blouse for $40,” she said in a video.
Thousands of people expressed their amazement, with several shoppers saying that Target’s shopping is a “perfect” year-round staple.
“You can wear this all the time,” one said.
Target’s Lily Loves Paneled Bustier Top has been a big hit with customers and is identical to Kookai’s Ariel Corset Top.
Both jerseys have identical fabric compositions and are made from 100 percent polyester.
Kacey said that while the Target version was a little more flared at the bottom, the top was still “beautiful” and she praised the quality.
“My jaw dropped,” Kacey added. “And it only costs $40!”
Tops aren’t the only “tricks” Australians have been obsessed with lately.
Australians have been turning to affordable brands to buy versions of popular designs as the country slowly emerges from the cost of living crisis.
Cotton On recently released a pair of affordable $70 heels that are an “exact replica” of the $200 Tony Bianco shoes, and have been dubbed the “shoes of the season.”
Kmart also surprised shoppers with a $40 version of a $4,000 designer trench coat, and it goes with everything.
Thousands of people have chosen the Everlast Airstyer ($280) from Australian brand BondiBoost over the pricey Dyson Airwrap ($849) since its launch.
This timeless fitted top is strapless and comes in white, black and sage green.
Many shoppers praised the quality of Target’s products and revealed that they have clothing from the department store that has lasted more than a decade.
“It’s a fantastic find and the effect is fantastic,” said one. “It gives it more shape.”
“I’ve never gone online to buy something so quickly,” added another.
“It looks exactly the same… it’s crazy!” one woman gasped.
A fourth revealed: ‘I’m about to return my Kookai top because it’s gorgeous.’
