The company was valued at $66billion in 2023, dwarfing that of popular high street brands Zara and H&M.
The fashion retailer was founded in late 2008, by entrepreneur and marketing specialist Xu Yangtian, also known as Chris Xu.
Shein is a legitimate selling website and is not a phishing scam.
But you may receive a disappointing order or run into shipping issues if you order from the site, according to reviews.
There have been swathes of quality complaints, which makes sense when looking at the price tag.
At the same time, someone else asked: 'Does it damage your hair? I'm thinking of doing extensions but just worried it'll thin it.'
In response, Kim explained: 'With these I have very little

RTÉ's 90s striptease throwback sends internet into a spiral
Well, this isn't the kind of woolly jumper content we expected from the Aran Islands…. An old clip from Beo le Bridóg, an RTÉ Television Irish language chat show that aired in the mid-90s, has resurfaced and it's sending social media into a tailspin. The footage in question? A group of brawny Aran men performing what can only be described as a Magic Mike-meets-TradFest strip tease. Yes, we're as surprised as you are. Well, this isn't the kind of woolly jumper content we expected from the Aran Islands….Pic: TikTok/RTEOne Originally broadcast in 1996, the video has recently gone viral after being unearthed by the national broadcaster and shared on TikTok. The clip has prompted a wave of pearl-clutching reenactments, speculation about how many televisions were hastily switched off in Connemara, and more than one thirst comment about a man who is likely in his 60s now. 'You never know what you'll find in the #rtearchives,' the RTÉ One account wrote. @rteone You never know what you'll find in the #rtearchives 👀 Here's a spicy lil throwback from Irish language show Beo Le Bridóg in 1996 with performance we're guessing the audience never forgot 😂 ♬ original sound – RTÉ One 'Here's a spicy lil throwback from Irish language show Beo Le Bridóg in 1996 with performance we're guessing the audience never forgot.' Unsurprisingly the comments ranged from NSFW and those aghast at the national broadcaster's laissez faire attitude to bare exposed chests and gyrating hips back in the 90s. 'The line for confession the next morning must have been huge,' one user joked. 'The pearl clutching must have been off the charts,' another added. 'This in 1996 when they couldn't even handle normal people in 2020,' a third penned. We're sure Paul Mescal would make a killing if he donned the miniscule sailor suit. One can dream.
