Kmart's new $14 drop is the ultimate alternative for 'must-have' designer versions: 'Looks expensive'
The retail giant has dropped a range of chic octagon-shaped glassware that's already sending fans into a frenzy, with many calling it a perfect dupe for luxury European brands.
The Octagon Hiball Glasses and Octagon Tumbler Glasses retail for just $14 for a pack of six and feature a unique faceted design that gives everyday glassware a modern, sophisticated twist.
The range is made from soda lime glass and is dishwasher safe, making it both stylish and practical.
'The most beautiful glasses I've ever seen - 10/10,' one shopper raved.
'My jaw dropped the moment I saw these glasses. They're stunning, and you would never guess they're from Kmart,' said another.
'I get compliments every time I have guests over. Everyone is shocked when I say they're from Kmart - they look so expensive.'
Design-savvy shoppers were quick to compare the Kmart range to high-end European brands such as Eleish van Breems, whose Murano Glass octagonal drinking glasses retail for a staggering $185 per piece.

Handmade in Italy on the island of Murano, the designer versions come in a range of colours, including white with a blue rim, pink with a white rim, and dark green with an orange rim.
Another luxe option is the Nini Vino glass set by R+D Lab, which sells for $140 for a set of two.
These are also handmade in Italy, using high-quality borosilicate glass.
While the designer options are undeniably beautiful, the price point makes Kmart's version hard to beat, especially for those looking to elevate their tableware without spending hundreds.
And that's precisely why Australians keep coming back to Kmart.
From minimalist kitchenware to stylish furniture and viral home décor, the retailer has earned a loyal following for delivering on-trend products at prices that don't break the bank.

Whether you're hosting a dinner party or just upgrading your glassware for everyday use, this latest Kmart release proves once again that great style doesn't have to come with a designer price tag.
In addition, Kmart also recently surprised shoppers with a secret new range in the lead-up to its eagerly awaited August living launch.
This latest drop is packed with versatile pieces that effortlessly combine function and flair.
Home favourites include the Arch Black floor mirror ($129), a sleek, full-length buy with a minimalist arch silhouette and black frame, promises to add a modern elegance to your home.
Its slim design means it fits neatly into smaller spaces, while the full-length reflection ticks the boxes for practicality and style.
In the kitchen, Kmart continues to impress with smart, affordable gadgets.
Their air fryer oven ($119) has already won fans for convenience and versatility, and now the compact omelette maker ($20) makes whipping up a fluffy, two-portion treat quick and mess-free - a win for busy mornings.
Herb enthusiasts will appreciate the Herb keep savers ($5.50), which prolong freshness and cut down on waste - a small but thoughtful addition that foodies can't get enough of.

It's this combination of style, practicality, and price that keeps Australians coming back to Kmart.
With this new secret drop offering fresh ways to update homes ahead of the full living launch, it's clear Kmart is once again tapping into what everyday shoppers want: affordable pieces modelled off the 'it' buys of the moment.

Zara at 50: how the brand rose to the top – and what it's doing to stay there
In Arteixo, northern Spain, workers are putting the final touches to a gigantic white box of a building, fixing windows and planting greenery in the new global headquarters of the fashion brand Zara, which turned 50 this year. The site, complete with a private high street where the retailer will test out its latest store concepts, is not far from the small store on the corner of a nondescript street in the centre of nearby La Coruña where, in 1975, Amancio Ortega opened his first fashion store. From those humble beginnings grew Inditex, a fashion empire that today boasts seven brands including Zara, Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Pull & Bear and Oysho. It has more than 5,500 stores in 98 countries and an online presence in 116 more – from the US and UK to Zimbabwe and Uzbekistan. Zara, which has been worn by the Princess of Wales, Taylor Swift and, controversially, Melania Trump, was the first brand in the group and remains by far the biggest. It is budget friendly but not super cheap, drawing in shoppers with affordable tailoring and on-trend items, especially dresses – most famously the 2019 polka dot viral dress. Ortega, who at 89 is still regularly seen at the head office chatting with staff, was a local clothing manufacturer who had worked his way up from being a delivery boy at a shirtmakers when he opened his first shop. He is now the 12th richest person in the world according to Forbes, with a net worth of about $120bn (£880m). More than 160,000 people work for the company he founded, more than 5,000 of them at the Inditex HQ in Arteixo, a complex which includes the new, soon to be opened Zara head office. Together they helped ring up sales of €38.6bn (£33.3bn) last year and profits of €7.6bn. As the Guardian was given rare access to the building's gleaming white corridors, staff whizzed past on electric scooters or even bikes to navigate the vast site. But as the company hits middle age, Inditex faces challenges. Sales growth slowed to 4.2% in the most recent quarter, a slowdown from 10.5% in the previous quarter. Like many other retailers, the company is reducing its overall store estate – with a net 136 stores closed in the past year. The slowdown comes only a few years after a changing of the guard at Inditex, when the founder's daughter Marta Ortega Pérez stepped in as chair while former lawyer and banker Óscar García Maceiras became chief executive. Local boy García Maceiras, who joined in 2021 from Spain's Banco Santander, is seen as an outsider with quite a lot to prove. When we meet in his spacious office, the conservatively dressed CEO, in tight-fitting blue suit and shirt, is bullish about the company with which he shares a 50th birthday year. 'We remain very confident in our capability to keep on growing,' he says. While store numbers are reducing globally, the amount of space devoted to Inditex fashions around the world will increase by 5% this year as it shifts to ever larger outlets. In the UK, for example, next month Zara will reopen its doors at Manchester's Trafford Centre with a store that is 40% bigger than before, while Pull & Bear is doubling the size of its outlet there. Meanwhile, Bershka will open its first store in Manchester. Bershka is also opening a new store in Glasgow this summer while Stradivarius, another Inditex brand, is opening there and near Newcastle later this year. The group is also looking for a site for The Apartment, a new concept that combines premium Zara clothing and , in a store laid out like a stylish influencer's home. Right now there are only three in the world – in La Coruña, Paris and Madrid. The UK expansion comes despite retailers' warnings that a rise in taxes might depress new store openings and hit jobs. 'We keep on considering the UK a very relevant and attractive market,' García Maceiras says. Similarly in the US, Inditex's second-biggest market, he says the company will flex its supply base, which includes factories in 50 countries, to deal with whatever tariffs the Trump administration settles on. Inditex doesn't use factories in the US or Americas at present – but García Maceiras doesn't rule it out for the future. Sign up to Fashion Statement Style, with substance: what's really trending this week, a roundup of the best fashion journalism and your wardrobe dilemmas solved after newsletter promotion Part of the challenge for well-established fashion brands is the rise of online fast fashion specialists Shein and its fellow Chinese-founded digital behemoth Temu. García Maceiras shrugs off such upstarts, saying Inditex is competing on style rather than low prices and that the fashion industry has so many players that success is not dependent on a single rival. 'This is a market so highly fragmented that your level of success could depend basically on your own capacity of spotting trends and executing those,' he says. 'The fashion sector is connected with the inspiration and aspiration, and that is something that requires permanent innovation and a permanent mindset of listening to customer needs and customer desires in order to spot trends. 'The idea for us going forward is to keep on innovating every day, to adapt with an enormous level of flexibility to what our customers are looking for.' This is where Inditex thrives – with an almost unique model based on producing about half its stock in relatively small amounts and less than a month before it hits the shop floor. Even if something is incredibly successful, it will never be reproduced exactly again. When the weather or the economic climate turns against them, most retailers must plough ahead with plans made more than six months in advance. At Inditex, every store receives a tailored assortment delivered twice a week. Local managers have considerable control over what flows into their stores – feeding back what is selling, and what customers are asking for. Its new larger stores are, meanwhile, designed to house an ever broadening array of products and services. That includes more premium product to tempt in a broader range of shoppers. The new stores are also given an upmarket feel, using material made from recycled ceramics that looks like marble, and split into departments to house sportswear, footwear and other growing categories. Technology is also helping lower costs and aiming to improve service. In Manchester, shoppers will be able to return or pick up goods bought online with a scan of a barcode thanks to robot-operated systems, while a new gadget will automatically sort unwanted items from the changing rooms. Many of the tills will automatically scan in basket loads of purchases with the use of smart radio-frequency tags. The group is also trying out different kinds of services including cafes, now in a handful of stores in Spain, Japan, South Korea and China. García Maceiras says constant change is the key to the business staying healthy into middle age. 'This is a business in which you should take nothing for granted.'

Eagle-eyed Aldi shoppers notice popular item mysteriously missing from shelves: 'Bitterly disappointed'
Eagle-eyed shoppers have noticed that a popular treat has recently disappeared from Aldi Australia stores. Fans of Choceur Chocolate Milk Mini Bars recently shared their dismay about no longer being able to locate the popular item on shelves. Sold in packs of 11 'mini' chocolate bars, one customer described the milk chocolate that features a luscious milk crème filling as as a 'Kinder replica'. Taking to a Reddit thread dedicated to Aldi Australia, a woman wrote a concerned post under the heading: 'Please don't tell me they got rid of these?' Sharing a product image of the Choceur Chocolate Milk Mini Bars packet, she wrote: 'I feel like they suddenly disappeared from all stores – I've been buying them for years.' 'They're my number one guilty pleasure,' she added, alongside two 'sobbing' emojis. Commenters quickly chimed in, adding that they too had also recently noticed the product's absence. 'Noooo! I was wondering why I couldn't find these anymore,' replied one commenter. 'They're discontinued. For now, they could come back,' read part of another reply. 'My mum will be bitterly disappointed. Think I shouldn't tell her so she has hope they come back,' added another. But in positive news for chocolate-lovers, it seems chocolate's in-store disappearance is only 'temporary'. An Aldi Australia spokesperson told FEMAIL that Choceur Chocolate Milk Mini Bars have indeed been removed from shelves - but only for the time being. 'There has been a temporary disruption to the supply of the customer favourite Choceur Chocolate Milk Mini Bars,' the Aldi spokesperson explained. 'However shoppers can anticipate its return to shelves around the end of September.' Savvy Aldi shoppers rightly predicted that the chocolate treat's discontinuation was unlikely to be a permanent move. 'Whilst they might not be in store now, doesn't mean they are gone forever. All comes down to the manufacture,' explained one reply. Another responder, who appeared to have inside knowledge of the workings of Aldi stores, also shared a hot tip on where to find any remaining packs of the popular chocolate. They wrote: 'When ambient items are discontinued and we need the space they take on the shelves for a new product, we put them elsewhere, usually the specials tables in the middle aisles food section or anywhere else in the store food Special Buys are placed. You might find some there.' The upset comes after Aldi shoppers were left reeling after discovering another product from the Choceur range has been quietly discontinued. One Aussie customer noticed the beloved Choceur White Chocolate Coconut Blocks were nowhere to be found. The creamy, coconut-flavoured white chocolate has been a crowd pleaser for years, with cornflakes as one of its key ingredients for an extra crunch. 'Has this been discontinued? It's no longer on the website, and I haven't seen it in store. I've been wanting to try it for ages and now this happens,' a shopper wrote in a Reddit thread. Many were distraught over the news, with one saying: 'This is a huge loss. My favourite chocolate.' 'My family were regular buyers of it. Easily the best Choceur by a margin. Unfortunately, we haven't seen it around for the past four to five months,' another shared. 'Screaming, crying, throwing up. Regretting not buying it when I had the chance to,' one added. It's since been confirmed that the chocolate was discontinued in November 2024 - as the supermarket giant continues to diversify its product range to provide customers with variety. Content creator Annie Knight previously shared her rave reviews when she taste tested the white chocolate coconut block. 'Are you joking? I think this is the best chocolate I've ever had,' she declared. 'This is a 10. I've been waiting to give out a 10 and I'm giving it to Aldi chocolate. Can you believe it? I don't think you can get any better than that. 'It's the best thing I've ever had in my life. This wins. This slaps.'

Australia's Albanese confirms China visit as Beijing eyes trade deal review
SYDNEY, July 8 (Reuters) - Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Tuesday that he would visit China from this weekend as Beijing looks to build on partnerships on AI, green energy and the digital economy. "I look forward to going to Shanghai, Beijing and Chengdu, which I will visit from Saturday," Albanese told reporters in Hobart. He did not give more details about his trip. This would be Albanese's second visit to China as prime minister, after his re-election in May. Albanese's first visit to Beijing as Prime Minister in 2023 broke a seven-year freeze in diplomatic ties, and he emphasised the need for communication with China, despite differences between the two trading partners. Albanese's trip comes as China, its largest trading partner, suggested a review of the 10-year-old free trade agreement between the two countries to boost ties in agriculture and mining, and explore growth areas in new technologies. "We are willing to review the agreement with a more open attitude and higher standard," Xiao Qian, the Chinese ambassador to Australia, wrote in The Australian Financial Review on Monday. When asked if Australia would look to expand the free trade deal with China to include AI, Albanese said: "We will determine our policy."
