I agree, it's extremely insidious to choose plus size and women of colour to promote their sweatshops. Shein are not blind, they are well aware that plus size people love their brand for affordable and size-inclusive clothing. They are trying to sweep slave labour under the rug by saying 'yes, we use sweatshops and slave labour, but where else are you going to get X size clothing for under £10?'
Abby I’m so glad you’re talking about this!! The fact that this lady actually believes that a company that sells most of its clothes for less than 20 bucks CAN treat its workers well and is selling that idea to her followers is crazy.
I always thought it was weird that none of these people questioned that clothing prices keep declining while prices of groceries and other necessities keep rising.😭
This is wild to me. Dani comes from a family drowning in privilege and doesn’t even have the excuse of “this is the only brand I can afford” This was a cash and fame grab from Dani and it’s incredibly disappointing. Her whole platform is based on “being real and loving yourself as you are” etc. This brand trip was far from “real.” I have watched her for a while and I thought she was a lot more self aware than this. Yikey yikes.
I've actually worked with her a few years back. We hired her to model for the company and do some social media work. She was pretty cool and didn't want to mislead her followers and was pretty up front about it. I wonder what changed. This was before her tiktok days so I'm guessing she just makes way more money now. It's disappointing that she sold out so badly.
I've been talking about this (and Shein, in general) with people at work. I work in an office, of mostly women aged 40-60. I was surprised to hear how many of them bought from Shein since I assumed it was younger girls who were buying into it. But people of all ages and sizes are buying from Shein and enjoying their items, people buy their whole holiday wardrobe off Shein, for example. And people (in real life, not influencers) are so supportive and defensive of Shein. Almost all people I talk to about it love Shein, love that it's affordable, accessible, inclusive, and easy-to-wear. We discuss fast fashion, living conditions of garment workers, but people always circle back to wanting affordable clothing in a cost of living crisis. It's so unexpected to hear people offline not understand the negative impact of Shein, but it has opened my eyes to how people perceive Shein, and whilst I consume a lot of sustainability content, the general public are not aware of it. It's a bit disheartening maybe, because you feel like the internet is making strides away from fast fashion, then you hear stuff like this, then you hear what the general public consensus is, and realise fast fashion is not going anywhere anytime soon. BTW I'm from the UK, so this is a non-american perspective, and I'm not a perfect eco-fashion consumer, I only learnt about it a couple of years ago, so I hope I don't sound like I'm standing on a soapbox.
Thank goodness I don't have TikTok, I guess, because this is the first I've heard about this. It reminds me of that one youtuber that "worked" for like an hour at McDonald’s for $2,000 and talked about how GREAT it was while all their employees were still being paid poverty wages.
I agree. I fell out of makeup youtube and makeup drama due to me being in college (Chemistry doesn't give you many options to glam up lol) but since I've graduated and gotten back into it again seeing stuff like this is discouraging. Tiktok seems like it's own beast nowadays with misinformation and that's disheartening- I'm glad I don't have Tiktok either.
TT is actually a really amazing app, I follow a lot on antifascist, POC and BPOC feminism (I'm not yt) food, ambientalismo... AND ALSO I love how a lot of things are not accepted and everything is called out
They also claim that they weren't paid which is absolutely wild. Imagine spreading propaganda for a free vacation rather than cash money. And the fact that Shein didn't even pay these influencers only further validates how little they pay their actual workers. Marketing is often where a significant portion of a brand's spending goes and they're skimping on even that....
‘You would have done the exact same thing’? People like this truly can not comprehend that other people have integrity and don’t value money over all else.
Loved this topic! One of the creators I follow had a Temu sponsorship in their last video and I'm pretty disappointed. :( There were a lot of comments expressing disappointment so hopefully they take accountability for not doing thorough research. Temu is icky.
Stephanie Soo and Film Cooper both accepted, so disappointing as they claim their content I highly researched and accurate. How you can think you're ethical but accept a temu sponsorship is beyond me
I totally understand the buying multiples and the frustration. Currently on the hunt for new jeans to fit my big hips/booty and when I find ones that fit, I will make sure to buy at least 3 or 4 pair. The last time I bought jeans was about 15 years ago and I bought 6 pairs of the same jeans because it's such a mess to find ones that fit.
Shein has been the center of controversy for so long. I went through a hardcore Shein era. The clothes are garbage. I ended up spending more money to make up for every top, pant, sock, pair of underwear that disintegrated in the washing machine. I resorted to thrifting, but the “haul culture” of thrifting has inflated the price of most affordable stores. I’m battling some 19 year old starting a fashion company with hoards of thrifted items. Not trying to be salty, but it’s low to take opportunities to afford sustainable clothing from folks who don’t have the means to buy half the store. At this stage, I don’t know where you can find attainable, ethical clothing. I’ve been stalking my local Marshalls - few gems to be had there. A slightly irregular stitch on an otherwise decent skirt? Score. But man oh man. Clothing is getting weird and it’s even weirder to be aware of it.
Honestly just the fact that there are people going to bat for a literal corporation. And what is shein doing to help these girls? Nothing. Because they used you as a pawn in their marketing scheme so why are you defending them ??? Brands are not your friends people
i'm not particularly plus size, but im not the slimmist and just an awkward shape, so I understand the whole "when i find something that fits i buy multiples of them" mindset hahaha!
The more I learn about fast fashion the more I'm convinced that I need to completely cut it out of my life. The ways these workers are treated is so unfair and no article of clothing is worth their horrendous suffering. I would rather wear a gunny sack than support such appalling work conditions. No article of clothing is worth it. Again not a single garment is worth the ongoing mistreatment of another human being.
I have seen quite a bit of coverage on this fooolishness but I’m so here for the ABBY TAKE! ❤️ thank you for risking your sanity and ranting about this hot mess. You make me feel sane in this reckless world.
I used to work in the garment industry I left in around 2007 (it wasn't for a fast fashion company). I used to travel to Asia to see factories and it was frustrating because we would be shown a pristine facility but sometimes they would try and work it into our contracts that they could "subcontract" to other factories and that pretty much meant it would be going to a sweatshop. One of the reasons I left was because we got a new GM who started to be more lenient with allowing subcontracting and I didn't think it was right ethically because the manufacturers didn't have to show us the subcontracted factories. I can't believe that it's 15+ years later and people are still falling for this shit. Of course they're going to show you the best "warehouse" and not the horror shows that are described in the news.
I’m thankful that you are chiming in because all the straight size influencers telling their plus size viewers to boycott SHEIN hurt my brain. I’m trying not to shop there but we are in a recession and plus size ppl can’t find cute clothes normally. On the off chance that you do read this, any suggestions to get over the nihilism of “everyone’s manufacturing practices suck I should just give up on trying to find ethical solutions?” I have worked in manufacturing (not clothing, but gives me an idea of the dismal average working conditions all over the world) for years and I can’t help feeling like there is no good solution other than buying second hand or just not shopping. Which if you are plus size, second hand is not always possible.
I had a thin friend low key shame me for shopping at Shein and I was like ‘this is a thin person problem to fix y’know. It’s wrong to put the moral failure on fat folk.’ She’s super open to this sort of thing and we had a talk about it after, so it was all good. But thin people need to get out there and do the work on this stuff; they have the privilege.
But I know of a lot of sustainable brands who are eco conscious that produce plus size? Maybe in America it's different but in Australia it's no excuse to shop Shein when so many amazing brands are plus size friendly. I don't judge people who are poor who shop Shein, only influencers and people who film those $1500.00 Shein haul" So gross, I'm allowed to hate on Shein too because I bought two dresses years ago and they were see through and fell apart after one wash! I still have the fabric and use them as rags for cleaning the kitchen! Just the worst
I dont understand how she didn't think this through. Of course there would be backlash. Maybe she could have phrased it like... Shein is committed to improving its practices instead of blanket "this is great" statements.
Run The Jewels for the win! excellent recommendation! As a plus size Queen, I be the same with clothes shopping. Find something affordable, fitting and cute = buy in every colour! Coz that shit be impossible sometimes! This situation also reminds me of the documentary on Walmart factories and their workers a few years back. They basically sign their lives away to survive in squalor, continuously exploited and trapped by these billion-dollar profit corporations. Sad that these are still the industry standard and "fast fashion" has only seen growth over the years...
Even a factory with excellent conditions will never be that spotless. I work in the apparel industry and received factory pictures recently from a visit one of the higher ups made, plus there's a sewing room here in HQ. I've also worked in theatre costume shops doing sewing. Sewing is messy at the best of times. The machines looked like they weren't being used.
I live in the UK and our charity shops are FULL of Shein items. The only Shein items I have are ones I got secondhand where I didnt check the brand label, but just bought it because it was cute.
for those who don't struggle with EDs the best thing I have found is knowing my measurements and using individual listings sizings charts to make sure I fit in the clothes I'm going to buy
Currently finishing a PhD on social impact measurement in the fashion industry. This from shein and influencers is utterly revolving and backwards. I am *so* mad.
Here's the thing, even an ethically run warehouse is not going to be filled with smiling employees. It's just not. No company ever will. I liked working at Costco, but I didn't spend my days singing and smiling. So the fact that they went to a warehouse where everyone was smiling should have been a tip off that it wasn't a regular warehouse.
I'm in the middle of a wardrobe declutter and reorganization for all my clothes and cosplay props, I've been doing it for two days straight, I am wearing the most extra makeup to do Ursula the sea witch next weekend but I'm still in my pajamas, this is mayhem XD Thanks for the content to look while I'm doing stuff. Uugh, Shein is getting evern shadier, I always hated those brand trips even before people disliked makeup hoarding. I personally stopped buying on big websites almost completely, but for a piece or two in months I have been buying mostly second hand clothes on Vinted. Witch. I got the best witchy/cottage core makeover of all times there. I got my claws on some original Austrian clothes and my skin loves that stuff, it's all light and breathable coton and linen. I'm so happy! Being autistic makes me overheat so easily it's insane T.T I HAAAATE that video. An ukulele? Really??? That's offensive! *facepalm*
Shein knows have evil they are that they don't even sell their products in mainland China, nytimes article states: “Companies like Shein and TikTok move overseas both to reduce their U.S. regulatory and reputational risk, but also to reduce the likelihood that their founders and staff get intimidated or arrested by Chinese officials,” said Isaac Stone Fish, the chief executive of Strategy Risks, a consultant on corporate exposure ...
I'm lucky enough to have about 15 years of sewing experience behind me in order to make my own shit if I need to, but I understand a lot of people don't have that option, AND buying things from someone who makes garments on their own without a factory is astronomically expensive, especially if you're (god forbid) not a 28 inch waist. I also appreciate when content makers don't shame people who have no choice but to buy "fast fashion", it's kind of elitist and classist and I'm so tired of it.
While she should be held accountable for misleading her audience, the actual culprit here is Shein. We collectively should be putting more heat onto the company, who is conveniently basking in the "all news is good news" PR from this while they watch a plus sized influencer gets burned at the stake. I'm just not willing to participate in the pile on used as misdirection.
I always love these rants. you and I are on the same wavelength a lot of the time. I wish more honest and real RUclipsrs got the huge followers instead of the top, big, usually sketchy ones

Like, Shein knew exactly what theyt were doing when they asked for these people to be on this trip.
I died when one of those influencers said that Shein only makes what is necessary! 🥲😂 I'm pretty sure we don't need plastic crap or a chicken nugget necklace
I agree, it's extremely insidious to choose plus size and women of colour to promote their sweatshops. Shein are not blind, they are well aware that plus size people love their brand for affordable and size-inclusive clothing.
