Shein decorations

I have had very mixed success with ordering from Shein wondering if anyone has ordered Christmas decorations. Particularly the velvet chain garland. It looks really cute in the photos but not sure they live up to that in reality

You’ll have had mixed success because it is al mass produced by cheap labour in China and then shipped over. And it most likely doesn’t satisfy UK safety standards so could be leaching chemicals into your home.
Why not just buy some nice things made locally or even make your own. Or just use what you already have?

Sorry to be blunt but I just hate Shein, it’s evil.

Do you need new decorations? Have you tried your local charity shops? Or local villages often have craft days making decorations.

Shein uses slave labour, dangerous materials and ships from the other side of the world. Doesn't scream peace and goodwill to all men.

It’s just velvet ribbon and you have to make the chain yourself so you might as well just buy some velvet ribbon.

I looked this up and was pretty shocked to see you are right. Presumably the ribbon is precut to the correct lengths but otherwise it's self assembly. What a rip off.
My experience of Shien and Temu has largely been ok. Some of the Christmas decorations on Temu are lovely. But this... No way. I'd be furious.

A lot of the products don’t live up to reality because they steal a lot of businesses photos! I’ve had my businesses photos stolen twice this month alone and had to report for copyright and have the listings removed. Alot of these photos are taken from sites like Etsy from people who actually make and sell the products (especially personalised!) and the ones on Shein are nothing like them. So please be aware of this x

They don’t try to hide the fact you have to make it.

It says so in the title and in the description in the photos it says 36 pieces of ribbon 25cm by 4cm.
