Shein is so so so gross. I don't think influencers should be supporting or purchasing from them when there are small businesses who likely have reasonable prices and would love to collab! I also know shopping sustainably (I know, there's really no such thing as sustainable fashion, only slow fashion) can be hard/expensive but there are 2 really affordable "sustainable" ways! Doing clothing swaps with friends or even going to clothing swap meets is a great way to get new clothes and thrifting! James could have EASILY gotten his friends to do a closet swap with each other and himself for a week and it would have been equally entertaining to his fans.

Here’s my problem with this, Laura lee does SHEIN hauls a lot but she isn’t called out for it like this. Do not get me wrong, I think they all should be called out for it but there needs to be fair energy with everyone not just James Charlies

I’m sorry, but TONS of influencers promote Shein. I’m not a James fan, but we shouldn’t be allowing other influencers to do it while targeting James.

I understand why people have a problem with Shein. But, I live on the breadline and cannot afford to go elsewhere, especially as a plus size woman. Shaming poor people just doesn't sit well with me either. I want people to know it's not just Shein that's fast fashion...forever 21, quiz, H&M, Primark ect... There is no getting away from fast fashion companies if you don't have the money to shop else where

I hope all of you saying what you’re saying about Shein also don’t shop at Forever 21, H&M, Zara, Urban Outfitters, and all of those other clothing stores in the mall, because all of those brands are equally as bad as Shein is.

If he’s not gonna actually learn anything from his mistakes, then he deserves everything that he gets at this point.

Do people forget that literally there are people that are poor that can’t afford clothes???? Shein provides cheap clothing but it’s fashionable so that way no one feels excluded. Also, why is everyone acting like shein is the only company that harms the environment. Aritiza is just as bad as any other store. I’m not a fan of James Charles or really care for him but he was literally shitting on the clothes syaing how bad quality it is… so how does that make anyone wanna buy stuff from there😭people wanna get mad so quick about things that make no sense

It’s hilarious you guys are complaining about Shein but sooooooooooo many other companies use the same fabric.

We are not even 2 weeks into 2022 yet James, Nikita and Trisha have been killing it 😌

This tea is cold af. By those standards, anyone who does a mukbang from a fast food restaurant, orders from Amazon, or shops at literally any big box retailer, should be dragged through the mud.

I like shein, being a *broke* college student. It’s many companies that do “fast fashion” but I only see Shein being called out…

that i’m desperate sound bite will be james’ legacy

Yes I shop from shein coz it's what I can afford. It's impossible to find decent designs for plus sized folks within a reasonable price. And as a college student who works minimum wage we can't afford expensive clothes. I know its horrible but shein just works. But I wear the hell out of my clothes lol

I will say there are MANY influencers on KZfaq that do Shein giveaways and look books but that doesn’t garner even half the outrage this got. And to put it bluntly it’s not like we expected any better from him so why exactly was the reaction so dramatically different? It’s good to see that he at least acknowledged the first comment that was urging him to do his own research on Shein and how it’s harmful. Now it’s a question of is he actually going to take that advice or just throw it on the back burner as always?

one of the world’s most unsolvable mysteries, why does this man still have a platform

I have an issue with Shein but SO many companies that we love use synthetic materials and use slave labor. We need to start open the conversation to other brands that we see in malls because they do the same thing.

at this point, I think no matter what James does, he is going to be targeted. Yes, Shein is really bad but everyone else, literally everyone else does these videos too.

Yall realise that shein isn’t the only fast fashion brand that you probably shop at Or “fast fashion “ makeup you purchase Everything I bought from shein I’ve kept and had for years and years without throwing any of it out so far. It’s lasted better then some expensive pieces I’ve picked up.

No but seriously, I will never understand how people can just look past the shit he’s done 🤦‍♀️ He should literally be in jail👀

Personally I think shopping at shein is okay if you are apart of the group of people that just cannot afford clothes that are more ethically made, but what I think is most important when shopping anywhere is to develop a sense of style, instead of just following trends. I can't really afford clothes that are ethically made, but by being more purposeful with the clothes I purchase it has helped me reduce my clothes consumption and it's made it easier for me to pick an outfit and go. And that's the problem with she in they promote over consumption of clothes.

This groomer still has a platform? Literally how? I have a makeup account on Instagram and I honestly unfollowed over 200 people because they still follow and support him. It's disgusting. He's never been responsible with his platform

everyone: Why did you do a whole video promoting Shein and their janky products? James: It sucks and it is ridiculously embarrassing to admit this, but I have to… I’m desperate.

Tbh I don’t see nothing wrong with Shein because I actually wore their clothes and use them, coming from a working class.

There are hundreds of clothes companies doing the same as SHEIN . Please , this is ridiculous .

Got the notification and didn’t think twice to click your video. Your content is my TV of how entertaining and news of the internet.

I think it’s important to recognize many other big TikTokers and KZfaqrs also do large shein hauls, so we shouldn’t just hate on James. HOWEVER it doesn’t make it ok or right and he deserves the backlash but so does everyone else.

James can never stay out of drama 🤦🏻‍♀️

If yall aren't going to give my poor ass money to buy clothing I can afford AND fit, don't tell me not to support SHEIN. thanks bestie

James: **messages underage boys on Snapchat** tea channels: It’s free real estate.

honestly, i like shein, but i’m not rich. i don’t buy much from them because i know they’re not good. but i understand people who are lower class and don’t have as much money often buying from there. bc yes, thrift stores exist but a lot of the time plus sized ppl simply cannot find clothing they enjoy, which is important, while finding affordable ones. also, i dont think ppl who are rich, do have money, or spend a shit ton on there should be shopping somewhere else. all in all, if you have the means, shop somewhere else, if you dont, then at least acknowledge the fact that its not a good company

i love hearing about how everyone is sooooo concerned about the environment yet push wind/solar and don't go after the people largely responsible for deforestation in our amazon. go off about fast fashion though 😂

I don't get why he's at fault for this. Literally everyone knows Shein already as it's a viral brand. Shein is a way for a lot of people to get clothes they would have to spend much more money on or couldn't find! I found some stuff I'd never find at a shop for this price or at any price (like a swimsuit with shorts). Also fast fashion is literally everywhere and suddenly it's him promoting pollution? As for the prices I've seen way cheaper clothes (also cotton) from bazzars and local markets because they don't pay for rent, workers etc so it's nothing new for me.

a literal millionaire buying/wearing/promoting fast fashion for the fun of it is genuinely sickening, like it's beyond ignorant 🤦🏿‍♀️

Omg the boy did nothing wrong this time! If he did a haul from a more expensive brand y’all would be complaining that you can’t afford it!

Honestly, this is just people being mean for the sake of being mean: There are far more fast fashion brands than Shein (including Zara) where some products are just as cheap, made out of plastic and probably produced by underpaid children in Bangladesh and women in China. Yes, he should not have given this brand his attention but I am certain that most of the people criticising him for that don't own custom-made clothes made out of high-quality cotton, linen or recycled material and cost a reasonable price to support the manufacturer(s) with fair pay because that would be at least 130€ for one piece.

Wow, I literally just bought some clothing from Shein. I had no idea that THIS is what they practiced. I dont know any alternatives though. We can't afford much, but I don't know any other cheap clothing lines. If I find one, I'll switch to it

Even though I don't like James Charles and I don't support him or his actions at all, I do think that the reactions to his video are pretty hypocritical. Yes, it's true that companies like She-In shouldn't be supported, but to be fair companies like Zara, H&M, Nike, Hollister, Forever21 and even Apple are just as bad. And those are just some examples. The problem are not only those cheap brands. Sadly, lost of luxury brands (Prada, Armani, Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Louis Vuitton etc.) produce under the worst conditions in Asian countries as well, but people don't hate on those because they sell their clothes for a very high price and are therefore considered to be fashionable and chic. Also, it's not just the fashion industry that has those horrible ethics. Whether it's electronics, automobiles, furniture, they all try to produce their products for as cheap as possible to then sell it for the highest price as possible in order to make the most money. IKEA literally gets some of their wood from places where it's illegal to chop down the trees, but people are still supporting them. And to be honest, this won't change anytime soon because, just like She-In, those brands are cheap and therefore sometimes the only option that a lot of people can afford. So yeah, the only option to solve this problem would be to only buy from brands that are proven to produce economically friendly under good working conditions and with fairly traded materials. But those companies are very rare and also tend to sell their products for a higher price, because the production costs are a lot higher as well. And not everyone can afford that. Also, you could go thrifting of course, but thriftig is always a hit and miss. You can't always find what you're looking for in the size that you need and if you live in a more rural area then there also aren't usually a lot of thrifting stores available. I personally tried to thrift online before and I mainly had bad experiences with that... So, long story short, blaming people for shopping at She-In makes you a hypocrite if you yourself are buying at any other brand instead of those proven to be economically friendly.

Why come for James? When y'all buy way more SHEIN than he did in his little haul

I do agree that Shein is gross, BUT growing up with a single mother who would starve to feed & clothe us, I understand that it's a godsend for people who can't afford clothes. It's great that there's a place for people who want to look & feel good, for a price they can afford.

I personally never shopped at shein but I have received gifts from them by friends not knowing better. The clothing itself has shockingly survived multiple wears and are stuff that I will always wear since I don’t really follow fashion trends anyway but I still don’t support them. There are just better options

People are acting like other brands care about the environment. Spoiler: they don’t. In New Zealand/aus there’s annual sustainability reports done on different large clothing brands, and often times the more expensive brands get horrible grades. Don’t get me wrong, they’re better than Shein but let’s not act like other brands are saints. And just as a disclaimer; I don’t buy cheap shit because I can afford not to do that. But I don’t think it’s fair to judge people if they genuinely want to get affordable and fashionable clothing. I know shein is so problematic outside of sustainability (like workers wages and design integrity), but the price point is the main allure to people.

Don’t just call out James, keep the same energy for ALL of the other “influencers” that do Shein hauls too.

Why did he think it was okay to come back again?😭☠️

Omg people are always so butt hurt🙄, it’s not that deep, this just proves that people on the internet will get mad for no reason so do you and don’t waste your time on them

I'm going to play devil's advocate here. If he had posted a video where he went and spent hundreds on each outfit, even if it came from an environmentally conscious store, people would be hating on him for throwing his money around, for "pretending to act like he's a good guy by shopping at an environmentally sound shop", etc. Now, I'm NOT defending the other things he's done. I'm just saying that in this instance, he would still be the fun one to hate on.

I don’t know how many times internet can cancel him to get his shit together 🤦‍♂️🤦🏻‍♀️

i mean do we really expect any type of decent behavior from james charles at this point...

I'm plus size so I find alot of my cute clothes on shein. i feel terrible about it but there's not many options for me out there. the biggest thing for me is no matter what I get, it always smells rancid. it literally smells like sweat. I feel bad for the workers... That being said, what are some other brands that are affordable and size inclusive? Thanks!

this shein stuff is so annoying. there’s SO many companies that have these problems that people wear and shop from religiously. honestly buy from where and what you want😭 because people act like they really activist and their just hypocrites.

He could have easily done a “why you shouldn’t buy from SHEIN” video based on what he purchased

A lot of comments say: "Shein is bad cause of this..." "(Insert other clothing brand) is just as bad." "Shein is affordable, blah blah blah" I have yet to see one comment suggest an ethical affordable clothing brand. At least help us poor people find alternatives, please 😭 Edit: Please don't suggest Thrifting, we all it at this point.

Literally did nothing wrong at all, there's things to call people out for and things that people shouldn't have a say on. I don't even support James C but damn people gotta stop living through "celebrities" or "influencers". They human too, and don't owe people shit. If you don't like, Don't support that simple. Nobody calls you out for where you bought ur shirt, why should they.

People give SHEIN so much crap but what about every other clothing store? H&M? Forever21?

I think I just broke the sound barrier with my clicking so fast. I need some James Charles tea lol

Hot take- but don't most clothing brands use the same manufacturers and thus also participate in these poor labor cultures?

never clicked so fast! been a while since James was talked about on your channel :)

“Do we think james should be more responsible with his platform?” Was he ever responsible??? 😂

I think he's already addicted to being a problematic figure. He enjoys it.

I’m no James fan but a lot of influencers promote shein and I’ve never seen them get backlash like James. If we’re gonna come after one we have to come after all. It doesn’t make sense to get mad at him if your ok with others doing it

I’m surprised you didn’t cover his blackmail scandal from a few weeks ago, he is like a disease, no matter how hard you try, he will never go away!

Looooove when influencers that can afford anything buy cheap unethical clothing for a KZfaq VIDEO….

I love shein, there prices are unbeatable. Show me a company that sells clothes that cheap and is environmentally friendly…

As a student who's going into college, I really like using Shein and Romwe. I know it's horrible but it's the only thing that has sizing that is easy for me to access (size medium to large) and I've had good experiences with the clothes. My style has been consistent and I've worn a lot of my clothes to threads. There also aren't sustainable options where I live and anything that I'd remotely close and are insanely priced. I'm a minimum wage worker and this is the best I've got. Anything than Bezos is better.

I shop at Shein. Do you know how difficult it is to find affordable plus size clothing??? If you can afford sustainable fashion then you should buy it. But not all of us can.

It's literally just a video. A lot of people did this idea but since it's James, it's not ok?

i feel like his career is on a decline and it’s not gonna go back to the way it was sooooo

I was waiting for you to make a video about this!! when I saw that video, I though "tea spill is gonna be on this 👀"

You know why Shein is still here and people love it? Demands. There's a demand for it. Rather than stop using it completely why don't we stop buying and just wear clothes u already have? If it has small hole? Patch it. Wear it until it's not presentable anymore

Most of these brands yall use even the one u got in ur hand reading this rn, has worse condition then shein does ! wake up and stop complaining about inly shein bc most ppl like me can only afford clothes from there if even able to spend money on clothes! its affordable. even expensive brands have bad condition for workers, bad for enviorment, etc

I think shein clothing hauls and the like are a tired and outdated video idea to start. But the fast fashion and impact it has just makes it more outdated and unimpressive.

I understand low income people shopping on shien. Many places just don’t have thrift stores or other price healthy, size inclusive options. But James Charles has way too much money on his hands to knowingly buy from a crappy company

its quite interesting though a reason shein has been so successful os even though it's underpaid they are ne of the few fast fashion brands to pay on time to their factories, maybe the factories aren't paying their workers but I did read they do pay the factories on time unlike other extreme fast fashion

“lost respect for him as an influencer” gurl i lost respect for him as a person

Hi guys♡ James can never stay out of drama🙂

I absolutely did not support Shein before the pandemic, but during the pandemic my income was significantly reduced and I gained over 40 pounds, so now I wear from 0XL to 3XL and in my country is incredibly difficult to find trendy clothes that are larger than an L. All plus size clothes are in the mom's section...and don't even get me started on thrifting. I'm only able to find shoes in second-hand stores. Unfortunatly, I can't always afford clothes from small businesses who are more inclusive, so Shein is my only option most of the times. It's terribly conflicting :/

i understand that a lot of ppl do buy from shein and one or two years later those clothes end up in the trash but for other ppl like me that's not the case, i could never imagine making a closet purge for example, unless i wanted to end up with no clothes at all, and also the sizing thing, im a plus size girl and where i live it's impossible to find clothes and im not even like a super big girl, heck sometimes even shein is kinda expensive for me

not through the whole video yet, but people have been making videos of wish hauls, shein hauls, etc., for years and nobody bats an eye

One of my 2022 resolutions is to stop buying from cheap fast fashion brands. The quality of the clothes are incredibly inconsistent and the business practices of those companies are terrible.

Highstreet brands use forced labor and child workers in China and I feel like calling out James for buying something from shein is just reading as kinda tacky. I watched the video and he isn't hyping them up, if anything he says they're unreliable and of poor quality

I've bought from shein recently before I learned about their ethics and now I feel gross. I'm a PhD student who is plus size and can't afford or find any clothes that fit me. I mostly just order basics off of their website because I thought they were "better" than Forever 21 and H&M but turns out they all are super unethical. I feel like I'm caught between a rock and a hard place. Also for once, I can' t just blame James on this, thousands of others do this sorta stuff too.

Oh, James. When will he learn? The answer: He won't. Which is why Tea Spill will always make these gems😉

The thing with shein though is that the quality of clothes doesnt even last long enough so you end up spending even more money than if you were to just buy from slightly more expensive stores

Yeah but other big influencers do Shein hauls, even little ones do it to. Why are we only focusing on James doing it? It feels a little 'pick me' at this point

Y’all act like Walmart and stores we walk into everday aren’t as bad as shein🤨

Weird no one is attacking Lesdosmakeup and she has a whole entire collab with them.

I don’t understand how this man gets himself into scandals 28262862 times a year

I was a shien user I bought about 6 items and I only wear 1 thing...and I feel so bad I wasn't doing my research I just wanted to have "trendy clothes" at an affordable price. But now I ONLY purchase from old navy because the quality and prices are there.

Wow girl, 1 hour in & already 15k views 🤩 Plus, about to hit 2 million subs❣️

I’m sorry y’all I’m not a james fan but I don’t think he’s in the wrong with this one , y’all just dramatic.

Is it bad that I never of Shein but now I’m obsessed it’s so affordable. Sorry not sorry

i mainly have went to shein to buy things like jewelry and accessories that i know i will use time and time again, i think the main issue is buying loads of crap you KNOW you will end up throwing away or donating, i’ve been to thrift stores over the past few months and have seen sections with just Shein/Romwe labeled items and it’s sad

I wish tea spill would do a “KZfaq rewind” style vid of all the years biggest drama

He’s back on the tea channels 🤣

Some many people buy off shein but no offence soon as he buys it its suddenly a big deal. Like most them people makin comments are wearing their clothing watching it, its so funny

All right people if you're gonna call out James for buying stuff from SHEIN, you WILL call out all the other influencers that support SHEIN as well. Deal? Deal.

I'm a crocheter/knitter and many of the creators/sellers I follow have their exact outfits/creations stolen by Shein. Even as of 4 days ago. For one of the patterns I bought I got an email saying "we are aware that one of our patterns was stolen by a big fast fashion site...." the pattern had just gone up not long before and Shein already had it on their site.

I really feel like people are blowing it out of proportion. He wouldn’t have been able to do this video if a massive amount of his audience probably purchase from them. And donate your clothes to prevent waste

Please donate your clothing while we're on this topic 🙏 💜

if ur hating on Shein I hope ur not wearing Zara, HM, Forever 21, PLT, Urban Outfitters, Fashion Nova, Garage etc, hate on james but dnt b a hypocrite

People that buy fast fashion out of necessity cherish their clothes, take good care of them and wear them for _years_ . (As long as they don't break) Maybe it's because I went through, and finished my growth spurt really quickly but I still have jeans from late *elementary school* that I wear regularly. They're basics, so basically time and ageless. I pair them up in nice combos and you can't tell that I'm wearing something from like 6 years ago. That's sustainability.
