Shein

They were apparently using forced labour - not "just" sweatshops!

I wouldn’t touch Sheen or Temu, I’m also aware that a number of ‘high end’ brands manufacture in China now, good job I don’t buy many clothes.

Nothing on this earth would induce me to buy from them.

My DiL had on a stunning silk dress at the weekend, I thought it was either high end high street or designer which is where she usually buys her clothes, I was astounded when she said it was from Shein and would never have guessed it wasn’t designer.

Horrible cheap poorly made clothes that are worn once and then chucked into landfill not the sort of company we should be lauding - the USA don’t want them because they are linked to the Chinese government.

I’d never heard of it, but the BBC have an article.

Do they mean using foreign sweatshop labour? If so, there are other big companies using that same process. Adidas, Primark, H&M, Gap and Nike to name just a few. Are people going to boycott their goods? I daresay their work conditions are far from ideal but it may be the only job available to them to help support their families.
