Is SHEIN Ethical? Deep Dive Into Their Greenwashing

In this video, I'll be deconstructing SHEIN's sustainability and ethics claims, discussing why SHEIN gets so much hate compared to other fast fashion brands, and sharing what to look for in a real sustainable brand.

Some of you may be wondering why this video is even necessary. Isn't it common knowledge that SHEIN is one of the worst fast fashion brands out there? If you're new to sustainable fashion though, it can be easy to fall prey to greenwashing. And SHEIN’s social responsibility page is a classic case of greenwashing (this actually went viral on TikTok, and I was asked by several people to address this).
