China’s online retail giant Shein opens its first permanent shop

Protesters hold placards which reads “Fast fashion, slow justice. Free Uyghurs, boycott Shein. Buying Shein is condoning and becoming complicit in this genocide” during a protest inside the first physical space of Chinese online fast-fashion retailer Shein on the day of its opening inside the Le BHV Marais department store, the Bazar de l’Hotel de Ville, in Paris, France, November 5, 2025.
