my bsf is buying from shein fairly frequently. she seems to be getting the best luck bc she rarely gets something defective, but the problem is that she has a hoard of clothes she doesnt even wear bc of how often she gets something new. she'll also just toss things that are still usable just bc she doesn't wear it anymore or it has a small tear/breakage (that could easily be fixed). she SWEARS by shein. shes autistic and poor, and ig shein is the "only place" she can find affordable clothing that isnt a sensory issue. Ive been trying to convince her how bad shein is but she refuses to listen to anything I say and will just get mad at me. Ive been trying to give her alternatives and she has an excuse for every one of them. the funny thing is that when I compared shein to temu, she said smth along the lines of shein not being nearly as bad (when theyre essentially the same thing, but she also refused to listen when I said that). if anyone here managed to be convinced or to convince someone else to stop shopping from sites like shein/temu/aliexpress/amazon ect, pls lmk what you did to get them/yourself to stop or at least minimize usage of the site. I wanna hear every argument against fast fashion that you can possibly think of, even the ones you always hear, so I can use it as reference. Id also love to hear what alternatives you guys have. Im so sick of hearing "look at this cute dress I bought!" and then never seeing her wear it more than a few times. Im even more sick of being made to feel like "the friend thats too woke" every time I say that she shouldnt buy from shein.
