Shein exposed in new Channel 4 documentary 

Chinese online retailer Shein has recently been at the centre of a social media storm, following a damning documentary by Channel 4. The documentary revealed that Shein is guilty of paying factory workers under £500 a month (while making 500 garments a day), or just 3p per garment made. In addition, one factory was found to be docking one third of a worker’s pay for each mistake made on a garment. 

Still. Shein remains one of the biggest fast-fashion companies in the world, with a valuation greater than Zara and H&M combined.
