Kmart launch $15 dupe of Kim Kardashian’s expensive Skims Cozy Collection
Shoppers are currently raving about a $15 Kmart version of an expensive $215 item, describing it as “perfect” for surviving another lockdown.
With Melbourne thrown into another shock lockdown, some women have revealed they’re turning to a “cosy” Kmart item to help get them through the chilly seven days indoors.
Shoppers have been snapping up a loungewear set from the budget retailer, with some pointing out the fluffy pants, top and dressing gown have a striking resemblance to a range from Kim Kardashian’s Skims.
But while many are raving about Kmart’s “cosy knitted” range, a few have claimed the popular set has an embarrassing issue.
TikTok user @meaghandorgan shared a video on Sunday stating she hasn’t “been able to stop thinking about the rip-off Skims at Kmart”.
After explaining she bought the $15 pants and matching $15 top, Meaghan described the fabric as “quite soft and nice”.
However, she then showed the back of the Kmart pants, revealing a hole on the seam across her bottom.

“But after two days of wearing them, there’s a hole,” she claimed, captioning the video: “Not a great place for a hole.”
Others were quick to respond, claiming the same thing had happened to them.
“That happened to my sister-in-law too,” one woman said.
“OMG, me toooo,” another claimed.
Another said: “OMFG, I have the same hole. I completely blamed my other half for poking me there though when I bent over.”

Cosy lockdown essential
But while some said they’d been disappointed by the discount version of the popular Skims “Cosy” collection, which offers knit pants for $135 and a matching tank top for $80, others said it was “perfect” for winter – especially those who are in Victoria’s 7-day circuit breaker lockdown – which may be extended.
“I am all set for lockdown 4.0 in my cosy PJ set from @Kmartaus,” one woman wrote on Instagram, alongside a photo of her in the cream pants and top.
“These @kmartaus PJs (cosy knitted top $15 and cosy knitted pants $15) are perfect for lockdown 4.0 ... so soft and cosy! Just lounging around the house in these bad boys,” another shared.
While one Perth social media user who entered a snap lockdown in Perth last month said she’d “taken advantage” of the decision to wear hers.
In a separate TikTok, another woman raved about the matching slippers, saying the $14 fluffy shoes were “giving me vibes”.
Captioning her short video, “I’m actually obsessed with these”, the New Zealand woman said Chunky Outsole Slippers – which cost $12 in Australia – were something “everyone needs to buy”.
