Shein sells cheap, "fast fashion" goods. They had a few pop up stores here in Singapore, selling what looked like low end knockoffs, albeit at low prices. They're selling tops and dresses for anywhere between $4.95 and $12 (Singapore dollars). I'm sure that toxic chemical safety is at the top of their list, selling at those prices.

I remember hearing about them in their early days when they were called "ZZKKO" like yet another of those random sounding shopfronts flooding amazon and peddling junk. Their mobile app looks and works pretty much the same as the other Chinese owned marketplaces like Lazada or Shopee.

Their founder appears to be following a similar trajectory too, moving from China to Singapore with a permanent residency, like the founder of Shopee. I think the Shopee founder is now a Singapore citizen. Not that there's anything wrong, this seems to be a common pattern on the Silk Road these days.
