Shein Buys California-Based Everlane, Says It Would Remain an 'Independent Brand'

This photograph shows the logo of the Asian e-commerce giant Shein displayed at the Bazar de l'Hotel de Ville (BHV) department store in Paris on March 19, 2026. A French appeals court on March 19, 2026 rejected the government's demand to temporarily suspend a section of Shein's website in France after the discovery that it was selling illicit products like childlike sex dolls, now removed from sale.

Shein has agreed to acquire California-based apparel retailer Everlane, with both companies saying Everlane will continue to operate as an independent brand focused on sustainability.

The deal will see Shein, the China-founded fast-fashion giant, purchase a majority stake in Everlane from private equity firm L Catterton for an undisclosed sum, pending regulatory approvals.
