“Deadly social and environmental practices”

Present only on the Web, the Shein brand multiplies its ephemeral stores in France, which are very successful. In September 2022, a store opened for several days in Les Halles, in the Iis capital district. Last March, Lyon also hosted a store, causing long queues. The city’s deputy, Camille Augey, was then offended by the arrival of the brand: “Shein, with its deadly social and environmental practices, is the opposite of the values ​​promoted by the City of Lyon: a commercial activity that respects people and the planet, favoring local manufacturing and quality and sustainable products.».

Shein is pinned for “forced labor” of the Uyghurs, a Muslim minority in the Xinjiang region of China. A group of American parliamentarians has asked the Wall Street policeman to carry out an independent investigation. For its part, the group denies having any suppliers in this area. “We have zero tolerance for forced labor“says the brand. It remains to be seen whether Parisian consumers will be there, despite these criticisms.
