“If there are 31 days in a month, I will work 31 days.”
The Truth Behind Shein’s Meteoric Rise
This is the harsh reality of Shein’s so-called “villages.” The BBC uncovered that workers in Guangzhou are putting in 75-hour workweeks—breaking labor laws in a country not exactly known for lenient standards.
Shein claims to care about employee welfare. The truth? Cheap clothes come at a massive human and environmental cost.
But let’s be real—it’s not just Shein.
🧵 Nike, Zara, H&M—many of these brands manufacture in the same warehouses under similar conditions. The difference? Established brands charge way more while pocketing massive profits.
Fast fashion is built on:
🌍 Environmental destruction—polluting the planet twice: once during production, and again when we throw it all away.
👩🏭 Worker exploitation—the human toll behind those “cheap” price tags.
What can we do instead?
♻️ Buy secondhand or shop from ethical brands.
🏘️ Support local makers—spend a little more for quality that lasts.
🛠️ Repair and rewear—make your clothes go further.
Every dollar you spend is a vote. Let’s stop funding this cycle.
