Why quality is more important than cheap products:A look at the dark side of fast fashion at Shein & Temu
In recent years, the fast fashion industry has gained momentum with brands such as Shein and Temu. These platforms promise affordable fashion, a huge selection and fast delivery. But what is behind these seemingly tempting offers? Is the price really worth it, or do we end up paying more - in more ways than one? In this article, we take a closer look at the quality and sustainability of products and why it makes more sense to opt for long-lasting alternatives such as MAWA clothes hangers.
Shein and Temu: The dark side of fast fashion
Cheap fashion at unbeatable prices: This is the recipe for success of fast fashion brands such as Shein and Temu. However, a recent article on onlinehaendler-news.de shows that many of these products have serious quality defects. Customers often report inferior materials, poor workmanship and products that break after just a few uses.
But the problems do not stop at quality. There are serious ethical and environmental concerns. Many of these products are made in countries with extremely poor labour conditions, often by underpaid workers. In addition, fast fashion companies contribute significantly to environmental pollution - through toxic production methods, excessive water consumption and huge amounts of waste generated from the discarded garments.
Why is sustainability so important?
Fast fashion not only has a major impact on the environment, but also on social justice and global production conditions. Studies show that the textile industry is responsible for 10% of annual CO₂ emissions worldwide - more than international flights and shipping combined. The focus on cheaply produced goods also reinforces the throwaway mentality: people buy more because it is cheap and quickly throw it away again because the products do not last long.

Conclusion: Focus on quality instead of quantity
The fast fashion of Shein and Temu may seem tempting at first glance, but the true price of these cheap products is high. From poor labour conditions to environmental degradation and a short product lifespan, the damage is far-reaching. Companies like MAWA offer an alternative: high-quality, durable and sustainable products that are not only good for your clothes, but also for the planet.
