Episode description

Even if you don’t shop on Shein, the fast-fashion retailer may have changed online shopping for you. The site offers necklaces for under $2, hoodies under $11, and sneakers for less than $20. But, how is the company offering prices that low?  Timothy McLaughlin is a contributing writer for The Atlantic, with a story titled, “The Mysterious, Meteoric Rise of Shein”. Mary Long caught up with McLaughlin to discuss:   - The questions about how fast fashion became ultra-fast fashion. - Why Shein’s leaders may be staying quiet. - How an export and tax loophole is driving business for Shein and Temu, and why that could change.  Read Tim’s story: https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2024/09/shein-ceo-chris-xu-fast-fashion/679709/  Companies discussed: PDD, AMZN OTC: HNNMY,  Host: Mary Long Guest: Timothy McLaughlin Producer: Ricky Mulvey Engineers: Rick Engdahl Learn more about your ad choices.
