As someone who is living in a poor ex-USSR republic, unexpected benefit of Temu and Shein is that average working class folks can afford good looking clothes.

- rob74 3y agoGood looking... but bad quality and falling apart after wearing them 3 times?
- est 3y agothat's the "fast" part in fast fashion.
- SomeoneFromCA 3y agoWell here you have 3 choices: 1) bad looking cheap, falls apart quickly. 2) good looking cheap, falls apart quickly.. 3) Unaffordable. before Aliexpress/temu etc. there were only 2 options.
- rob74 3y agoLet's say you have two options: (a) costs X, lasts for Y (b) costs X*3 but lasts for Y*5 - then you still get more value for money with option (b). The tricky thing is of course that it's hard to tell how long something will last, but generally if something is very cheap, it's unlikely to be of high enough quality.
- jesterson 3y agoUsername checks out :) CA is turning into "poor ex-USSR republic" pretty fast :) Sorry - couldn't resist to comment :)
- SomeoneFromCA 3y agoNo, CA = Central Asia. Comparing California with is a typical first world whine.
- jesterson 3y agoFirst time i see CA used for central asia, and i live in asia :)
- vmfunction 3y agoCan also be Certificate Authority. That would have a better ring to it.
- SomeoneFromCA 3y agoNo it cannot, as I know what I meant.
