SHEIN - Opinions on the brand

Hi everyone
The SHEIN brand gives off the idea that their clothing is high quality and produced in an ethical manner. What are your opinions if you have shopped with the company??

Never shopped, never will https://www.google.com/search?q=shein+modern+slavery&oq=SHEIN+modern&aqs=chrome.0.0i512j69i57j0i10i22i30j0i22i30l7.2609j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&safe=active&ssui=on

Could you explain your reasons in more detail please?

I feel child labour and forced modern slavery to produce clothes doesn't really need an explanation. I also dislike fast fashion for its damage on the environment. I'm not perfect in where I shop, I shopped at primark for a long time until I learnt what they did, I moved to matalan, which after a check done by parliament, showed no signs of modern slavery.

"In the one factory used by Matalan, it was found that there were no instances of forced labour. All workers have been confirmed as permanent, from the local area and are allowed to come and go freely using a standard clock card system."

It's more expensive, sure, but it's worth it.

I sometimes buy dresses from Shein.
They often offer the option of interest-free payment plans in association with Klarna.

The dresses usually photograph well and look good.
But have a limited lifespan and are very unlikely to survive being worn for more than 8-10 months or last beyond 5-6 dry cleans.
The sizings can be a bit off and frequently does not correspond to the measurements on the website.
Female dress sizes 6 and 8 are usually quite a bit smaller & have a very tight fit, even when worn by women who usually wear a size 2 or 4.
While some of the size 10 garments can be quite a loose fit and comfortably worn by taller women who usually wear a size 12-14.
For those with sensitive skin or moderate acute asthma, all Shein garments need to be washed and left to air for at least 48rs before being worn.

Thank you for your reply. Are you bothered by the ethical issues surrounding the company?

No.

How come? They have been outed multiple times for using child labour and exploiting their workers. Why would anyone want to support a brand that does this?

Do you work for Shein or something??? I can't see why anyone would think Shein is high quality and produced in an ethical manner. No clothing that cheap can be high quality or ethically made.

I can't imagine. I'm nowhere near perfect in how I shop, but I'm always suspicious of low prices and fast fashion. Imagine being a child forced to work, not only to work, but in substandard and often dangerous conditions for not much money, and being forced to return to feed your family who are likely also similarly exploited. The terror and hopelessness must be overwhelming, it's awful that it happens.
