- trinix912 1mo agoMight it just be that people are buying from Temu because stuff at the mall is 10x as expensive and doesn’t even last all that longer nowadays? People can’t afford to pay 40€ for a T shirt.
- kamma4434 1mo agoMe too - I get the feeling it’s the same garbage at a different price point.

- freehorse 1mo agoThe fact that these clothes tend to be in the category of "doesn't last or made of plastic" (plus low human labour costs) is what makes them cheap enough to be possible for people to order/buy them in as large quantities.
