I get what you guys are talking about re: fast fashion and all the China Temu, Shein, knockoffs, where they basically rip off designers looks and re-create it - super low quality. They are always the ones with the annoying pop up adds where every model's head is chopped off in the pic or is of an obviously over photo shopped person of someone (think 13"waist lol) taking a selfie where they super impose the garments onto the pic - you guys know the ones. And the identical items are sold under different brands (it's basically all drop-ship junk with messed up China sizing to boot) I do however know tho that Macy's carries Edikted brand clothing, Nordstrom might as well. Anyway I was curious about all this so as an experiment I decided to investigate and order a few items (enough for free ship) and because they have a standard free returns/exchange policy. If anyone is interested let me know and I'll try to report back for you guys as to whether it was all total junk or if there were any decent items or basic staple pieces for the price. I expect it to be kinda hit or miss. Personally, I'll load up on tank tops or buy a sweatshirt or whatnot from Old Navy but I would generally never shop there for more "serious clothing". Sadly the fast fashion craze today is basically just churned out and such poor quality, unlined garments, poorly sewn, look/feel cheap. It's become a marketing frenzy geared towards teenage consumers or early 20 somethings who buy "lots of clothes" to be "on trend" from shops like H&M, Forever 21 etc. where nothing is made to last long or are "timeless wardrobe pieces". What many may not even realize is how much of all this fast fashion today is winding up in illegal landfills in Chile or washes up on the shores of places like Ghana and is destroying the environment. I generally try to stick only to things that will hold up, I know I'll get use out of and are not a 5 minute hot trend or something you'd be too embarrassed to wear in a year or two (corny graphic tees come to mind) those should be outlawed by now!

Honestly i was expecting shein quality and i was verryyy pleasantly surpised. The fact that the shop has 80% or 50% sales every other day definitely threw me off but the clothes were pretty good quality and fit great and i loved everything so i definitely reccomend More on reddit.com

Usually it's a marketing trick to make you think you are getting a deal when in fact you are not, it's really only fast fashion brands who do it, but honestly there's sadly not much difference in quality in normal clothing stores and fast fashion stores, I wish there was More on reddit.com
