Why China's Shein is beating ASOS, H&M and Zara at fast fashion

Chinese e-commerce company Shein took the top spot as the most downloaded app in the United States in May, according to a report from intelligence firm Marketplace Pulse. The fashion giant outperformed TikTok and Instagram on the Apple App store and was far ahead of Amazon.
Since 2015, Shein has become a leader in its industry, initiating a new era of fashion experts call “real-time retail.”
“What Shein has done is, it has established a new norm, which is real time,” Allison Malmsten of Daxue Consulting told CNBC in an interview.
“It is very fast, and the products are updated much more frequently and at a higher volume than any other fast fashion brand.”
But its name has also been marred by trademark infringement allegations and questions about the sustainability of its manufacturing process - controversies some experts say could threaten the startup’s investment prospects.
“If it wants to IPO and if it wants to gather investments, then it really has to come clear and people really need to have peace of mind about what is happening at the company,” Malmsten said.
Watch the video above to learn more about Shein’s rise, successes and challenges.

    If we are honest stores like Forever 21, Rue 21, and a lot of the time H&M too, all carry the same quality that Shein does for about 3x the Shein price. Everyone is using the same flimsy/delicate fabrics that fall apart after a handful of washes. That’s why Shein is winning against everyone else, they actually charge a reasonable price for the mediocre quality. Brands need to spend some of the money they spend in marketing on their raw materials and increase the quality to match the prices

    @@yes-gs2rd this is true, and I do think that fast fashion is a bad cycle that includes pollution and improper treatment of workers in third-world countries. However, when social media has a strong influence on everyone's dress decisions, it is the fact that consumers are more likely to choose SHEIN over Zara/H&M. By overpriced, I mean these OG fast fashion companies do not deserve to generate so much revenue as they did in the old days, so having new competitors in the market, in my opinion, can somehow improve the market in the way that these companies will no longer be advertising for fast/cheap but instead quality and design.

    I get that Shein is an incredibly problematic company, probably more than other fast fashion brands, but to a lot of us it is our best option. I'm not talking about tik tokers and other influencers who buy huge amounts of cheap clothes and shoot hauls (don't even get me started with influencers who wear a full Shein outfit and then pose in front of Chanel stores lol), I'm talking about people who don't have the financial freedom to buy clothing from brands that used to be considered affordable such as Zara and now are getting on the pricier side, while not even improving their quality. I have Shein clothes that have lasted me 4, 5 years so far, so I'd say the waste has a lot to do with the fact that trends now last shorter and people just easily throw them away. All in all, shop smart. Be it Shein or Zara, just buy what you need, which fabrics can last a relatively long time and what you see yourself wearing for the next years.

    It's true, but Zara and HnM do the same thing as Shein. The reason why they all sell clothes cheaper is that they don't need to pay for a designer. They just look at what the big name brands are doing and then mimic it, and it is all legal. They can even mimic a wedding dress that costs $10,000 for just 100 dollars.

    Just being honest! I was a nurse that caught Covid in 2020 and haven’t improved. I have no income and went through a long spurt of depression. I said that I would never shop at Shein and when I saw those prices, it opened new doors for me as far as purchasing affordable fashionable clothing items. You definitely need to look at the fabric used prior to purchase. Their 100% polyester items are lower quality but the viscose fabrics hold up longer. Just a thought. It is addicting, especially when they have their clearance for items that you can buy for $4-$7. With that being said, I am trying to stop my shopping at Shein and other brands like it as I explore a more minimalistic lifestyle for my mental health. Blessings to everyone 💜🙏🏾

    It'll work as long as the salaries are accepted, because that's why Zara had to outsource some production out of Spain. I don't know where else, but I think India. While I was still in Spain, a high end Chinese brand was open in Madrid Spain, and I and other friends loved it all. It's Shanghai Tang, of some clothing and accessories, including some home decor. I have a large purse and a type of small handbag, and I sure wish that I would have bought more. The coins and jade used on the straps. So original, beautiful cashmeres and silks. Women and men. Not at all like it used to be. It's gotten boring in the handbags. That was what most attracted us to the brand in Spain

    Every company is responsible for the environment, including American brands like Nike and so on, because they all contribute to the pile. Long before Shien or fast fashion in general, they were saying how Nike, Addidas, and all the big names were doing the same thing. You know where all those clothes go, whether they are sold or not? into the dump like every other article of clothing that becomes out of style or last season's clothing. Of course you wouldn't know that because you don't see the bigger picture, but instead you wanted to say Shien is responsible because it is a Chinese company. Wake up!
