Rescuing SHEIN: Inclusivity & Redemption

---

Nothing says "fast fashion" quite like picking up a piece of SHEIN clothing. While the visual experience of these mass produced pieces can be tantalizing, the tactile worth of the fabrics leaves much to be desired. Mainly produced from synthetic fabrics like rayon and polyester that lack breathability and trap sweat, wearing SHEIN clothing can often leave you stinky and uncomfy, as you are effectively wearing a plastic bag as a top.

So why does Honest Fox rescue SHEIN clothing?

It all boils down to inclusivity and redemption.

By rescuing SHEIN clothing, Honest Fox brings a new chance at life to these aesthetic, if economically tactless, pieces. We believe that each piece of clothing is innocent, regardless of its unethical origins. Each piece (yes, even a SHEIN piece) deserves a life story. By rescuing SHEIN clothes, Honest Fox keeps plastic-based textile out of landfills across the globe and reintroduces them back into circulation to finish serving out their lifecycle and postpone, or completely eliminate, their contribution to global climate change. While it can be said that a SHEIN piece's quality life will likely be short, Honest Fox believes that even short lives are worth investing in.

Then there is the factor of inclusivity to rescuing SHEIN.

SHEIN Curve is a massive producer of visually appealing plus size clothing in the fast fashion society. If you are a plus size person or have ever shopped with someone mid to plus size, you will know the frustrations that lie in boutique and thrift store shopping--no pieces in my size and if there are, they tend to be, lets face it, old, ugly, and overpriced. By rescuing SHEIN, Honest Fox is able to provide an array of unique size-inclusive clothing to the secondhand community. This invites a wider demographic of shoppers to access rescued fashion and, ultimately, contributes to saving the world!
