My 14 year old dd fav place to shop (yes, I’m no fan of fast fashion either!) but how to you actually pronounce it?
Most people I know say ‘Sheen’ but I’ve heard ‘Shine’, ‘Sheyene’, ‘Shayne’ etc,
I did hear that it was originally called ‘She Inside’ then the company changed it to ‘She-in’!

From the horses mouth - SHE-in

Thanks to TikToker @caramalizedhijabi, we now know that the official Shein Twitter account confirmed how the brand's name should be pronounced - and we're in shock.

In response to a tweet, the Twitter account said: "It's pronounced SHE-in". But many of us had no idea this was the correct way to say it.

In my head it's Shiiiinnneee in a Liam Gallagher accent.
Fully aware this isn't correct though.

Their own confirms “she in”, but I’ve only ever heard it pronounced as “Sheen”
