The coveted 'Maya' tote boasts a magnetic closure, dual handles (including short carry handles), an adjustable cross-body strap, and a handy small coin purse attached. Plus, it's available in two classy colours: natural and black, and is steal at just $20.

What's more, there's the added bonus that this tote bears a striking resemblance to recent releases from both Marc Jacobs and Chloe. Basically, if the Chloe and Marc Jacobs totes had a baby, it would probably be called Maya.

When content creator @jemmaexplores introduced this bag on her feed, she captioned it as the "latest Kmart designer dupe" and dubbed it the "perfect bag for summer."

The comments section erupted with eager shoppers who liked what they saw.

"Saw this and ran to Kmart! Got one!" one person replied, with another adding "Kmart is slaying lately!"

"I'M INFLUENCED" admitted a third.

"At only $20 this thing will sell fast," Jemma told her followers.

Many pointed out that it's ideal for use as a nappy bag, thanks to its generous size, while others saw it as the perfect companion for work, uni or the gym. Jemma even confirmed that it's roomy enough to accommodate her 13-inch MacBook.

Before you rush out the door however, tracking one down might pose a challenge, as several commenters have reported that they're already sold out online and scarce in many stores.

Additionally, a few detractors did chime in with one person saying hers broke immediately after she purchased it, and another saying it didn't hold up.

"It does't have any structure to it unless it's full, but I love it for the price," concluded Jemma.
