The budget superstore recently unveiled a line of puffer jackets as part of its autumn/winter ‘21 collection ranging from $20 for kids sizes to $49 for a longline women’s version.

It is also the first ever clothing item from Kmart to be made from 100 per cent recycled polyester.

“We’re pretty excited with this season’s launch because it has got a lot of sustainability product through the mix of our offer,” Natasha Smith, Kmart’s Divisional Merchandise Manager, told news.com.au previously.

“In particular one of our longline puffers has got 100 per cent recycled poly content from reclaimed material.”
