Their stuff looks lovely (online on skinny models anyway) - have heard a few good things recently as i had written them off a few years ago. Anyone use them and happy with the product, quality, returns etc

i hate online clothes shop but the high street/town centers are dead in many places now so options are really limited often to just M&S, Next, H&M or Primark

They can churn out more than one million products a day. Think of the human and environmental costs to manage that across so many different designs.

clothes are pretty terrible. Some of the swimwear is good and I buy the hair accessories for my daughters

Ordered a dress that was the consistency of a shower curtain. And this wasn’t that long ago. So no. I tired, it was shit, I won’t buy again.

Their products are very low quality, often made in cheap fabrics with shoddy stitching and printing. That's before you even get into their ethical practices and the low pay of their workers being a huge reason why it's so cheap. If you're getting a t-shirt for £2, how much of that £2 do you think is going towards the sweat-shop employee who stitched it? Their staff are exploited, working 12hr shifts seven days a week for the bare minimum of pay. There have been children found working in their supply chain too.

I wouldn’t know, as I stopped even looking at fast fashion years ago.

Slave Labour using, credit card number harvesting, environmental disasters, vomiting out badly made shite.

I wouldn't touch Shein with a barge pole as their ethics are one of the worst. I know it's a spectrum and many other stores have questionable practices but their supply chain is particularly hidden and their treatment of workers particularly poor. Shein and Temu... you've got to ask yourself how can they make some much profit with such ridiculously low prices and who is paying the price?
