What is Shein?

SHEIN is an online fashion retailer that offers a wide variety of clothing, shoes, and accessories for men, women, and children. It is currently based in Singapore and ships internationally.

How does Shein work?

While first starting as a drop shipping business, it then has incorporated its own supply chain system and become a fully integrated retailer. SHEIN has grown in popularity in recent years for offering trendy and affordable clothing options, but has faced criticism in the past for issues related to labour practices and quality control.

Is it safe for children and young people?

You need to be 16 to be able to use the platform, although the platform doesn’t have any age verification mechanisms in place as of 2024.

What is the minimum age?

+16
