Australian shoppers are stunned after discovering a $25 copy of a famous designer bag worth more than $2,000.
The Target Angled Shoulder Bag ($25) has been compared to a similar design from Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen’s The Row brand.
The cost of living crisis in Australia has caused many to tighten their pockets and give up luxuries like new suits and accessories.
Fashion fans obsessed with The Row’s Half Moon Shoulder Bag ($2,070) can now get the same style for much less after a trip to their local Target store.
This affordable bag has a leather look with an attached shoulder strap and a unique angled shape.
‘Target has some great bags right now and very affordable too!’ one buyer praised online.
“I love that they are available in so many colors to match any outfit or accessory.”
Another said: ‘Target bags are very affordable and stylish. Who pays more than $2,000 for a bag in this economy?

Similarly, a stylish $15 bag has been flying off the shelves at Kmart after shoppers noticed a strong resemblance to a high-end designer bag that costs nearly $10,000.
The Shimmer Bag ($15) has a unique curvaceous base and sparkly details all around, including along the crossbody strap.
Kmart’s affordable product looks similar to Spanish fashion house Balenciaga’s famous Hourglass XS bag ($9,900).
While the luxury bag is made of suede calfskin and studded with rhinestones, Kmart’s version is a close enough dupe to make anyone look twice.
Hundreds of shoppers shared their love for the budget brand online.
“I went to Kmart to buy an umbrella and spent $200,” one said. “Kmart is ruining me.”
“I’m in love with Kmart bags,” wrote another.
A third said: “I love crossbody bags.”
