What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Shein, the online fast-fashion retailer, increased its sales in the UK by 26% to £2.58bn, surpassing its British rival ASOS. The company also reported an 18% rise in pre-tax profits to £45.2m, supported by marketing partnerships and pop-up shops. Shein's strong performance is increasing pressure on the government to change the 'de minimis' rule regarding Chinese imports.
