Inside Shein - How the Ultra Fast Fashion Brand Makes Clothes So Cheap

Description

Despite Shein’s new sustainability rhetoric, workers are still paying the price for the ultra-fast fashion giant’s success.


To 75-hour working weeks, piece rates and no contracts, we can add secrecy, opaque financial operations and a general air of mystery around its billionaire founder and how the brand does business.


This is the story they don't want told.


But thanks to Swiss NGO Public Eye's meticulous research and undercover reporting, it's now out in the open. So can Shein change for the better? Or is unethical simply part of the business model?
