If you want to encourage cheap labor and plagiarism, Shein is your quintessential stop!

Shein does not treat its employees well. 11-hours-long shifts on average, one day off per month, around 50 cents per piece for salary, poorly ventilated workplaces littered with bags of clothing and textiles, and no contracts. Please, think about those people. Put yourself in their shoes. Is this a way of living?

I hear you, clothes are getting more and more expensive, and most people can't afford local or eco-friendly brands. I can't.
Well guess what. Shein employees can't afford them either. Life is probably difficult for them as much as it is to you.

Saw an ad on Facebook, 60% percent off « healing crystal pendulums »... « handmade »... « USA based company ». With well written descriptions of each crystals on the website. I bought the opal one with high hopes. How wrong I was. When I tracked my order I saw that it was actually made in China. I received the pendulum almost a month later, with a fake plastic crystal and a cheap chain that's been painted in golden paint. Fortunately my sister liked it and I gave it to her. But here's the thing, if you're stupid and naive like me: I'm pretty sure Ashlen has never been closing off its collection. They're only using that excuse amidst the pandemic to make you believe that they were once a successful little local company... No. It's just the chinese machine. Handmade? Yeah, probably by low-paid women in some giant factory. Conclusion: don't buy from them.
