Shein

[Touty]

Has anyone used them. They look like they have some lovely clothes for a good price?
quality?
any feedback?

They use slaves to make their clothes and the clothes have toxic chemicals. I saw a documentary on the BBC a few years ago exposing the truth behind fast fashion and it was awful. Not just Shein but other brands - people working for nothing, living by the factory which was pumping out toxic chemicals and poisoning their water. Some of them had mercury poisoning. Avoid fast fashion.

If you are changing your wardrobe with new clothes twice a year you are buying into fast fashion.

I don't @VivaVivaa due to circumstances I won't go into we didn't have much to start with. I own two coats. A thick one and thin one. I try to do it as cheaply as possible. Plus 2nd hand shops.

I just placed my first order this week! Excited for it to arrive and see what its like.

I've just been somewhere to pick my daughter up and had to brace myself to get out of the car as all the other mums looked so put together. So please don't lecture me on morals.

How long does delivery take

These workers get paid 3p per hour for working 18 hour days. But don't worry about that 🙄

I love the look of the clothes but I can't bring myself to order 🙈 apparently the workers are treated awfully. I read they work 18 hour days and get 1 day off a month. I can't bring myself to order from a company like that.

Even teens don’t buy from there it’s reputation so bad

As is often pointed out on threads, Charity Shops aren't there to make clothing the Poor affordable. They're there to extract the maximum amount of money from middleclass purses out of the things they are given.

When you have people on ZHC, facing huge increases in fuel bills and food inflation running at 20%, it's incredibly insulting to have people who are clearly far more financially secure to have a go at them for wanting clothes in keeping with their restricted incomes.

No, I'm sorry but eff that. The way to feel better about the inequality in the west is not to pile into global inequality. One persons desire for new clothing or to 'keep up with the other mums' does not justify rape and slavery.

If you’re typing this on a smartphone, made in Chinese sweat shops, using cobalt mined by children in Africa, then you can’t criticise people who buy from places like Shein

H&M, Zara, Adidas and Nike are the worst clothing companies for slave/child labour. Teens don't te d to have a problem with them brands do they? Many of you won't either.

@Ohow wow, is that what you get from my post? Talk about speaking from a place of privilege.

I like it. Sizing can be tricky so always read reviews.
Delivery used to be a month, now it's around 2 weeks.
Refunds are quick.

I’ve never bought from them. As others have said, the slave labour and environmental impact is appalling.

Yes I've had a few bits. I'll only buy stuff that has been reviewed though. Quality is good for what you pay.
Stuff always arrives quicker than it states, 1 item arrived within 2 days and originated in the UK, I don't know if maybe they now stockpile returns here so if it's reordered it's sent straight back out.

👏👏👏👏

I’d say I’ve had a 90% success rate but some isn’t great quality eg zip breaking on a dress after two wears. The accessories are great, also party decorations balloons etc.

They are ok. Primary quality and cheap fabric. But I have loads from them They tend to come up small so so for the next size

Literally made by slaves. Hope you just love it.

Like your smart phone

Most people are buying things that have been produced by the exploitation of other people unfortunately.

Avoiding anything made ‘by slaves’ or in sweat shops is impossible

Oh stop it. How many phones do you buy a year? A phone has many functions compared to a pair of leggings, a dress and a skirt that you'll throw away in a few months.

And one bad thing doesn't mean you should never speak about anything else.

Ever been mean to someone in secondary school? Well you have no right to criticise bullies. Ever shouted at your child - then you can't criticise smacking.
