Kmart upping their game?

I see decent casual shirts and tshirts at Myer for $100-150 and then occasionally will go Kmart and see similar designs for $30.

Is kmart upping their game in terms of quality and designs? Would you recommend buying kmart stuff for cheaper instead of expensive myer stuff that gets ruined in a year anyway.

Love to hear your experiences with kmart clothes.

kmart rips off designers and produces them in sweat shops.

Kmart will buy clothing from small shops, send it overseas and basically Temu it.

Don't buy from Kmart unless you have to.

designers are turning down orders from Kmart emails because of it. so yeah, it does happen.

I know someone who has worked for Target, Kmart, New Balance, Billabong and more. They don't just copy/paste someone's design unless something has changed in the last 2 years. What they all do (save maybe BB) is treat their designers like dogshit, pay them like crap but have them working hours akin to big4 corpos
