Fast fashion retailer Shein has caused a debate online after a Twitter user argued that people who spend $700 on clothing items from the low-priced brand can afford to purchase clothes from more expensive, sustainable brands.
The Chinese e-commerce company is well-known for its inexpensive and abundant clothing options. Since its founding in 2008, Shein is now valued at $100bn, making it as valuable as Elon Musk’s SpaceX and worth more than fashion giants Zara and H&M.
