Shein Brand Trip Ignites Criticism as Influencer Faces Backlash over Ignoring Worker Abuses

  • An influencer named Dani Carbonari recently visited one of Shein’s factories in China, sponsored by the fast fashion company.
  • Carbonari received backlash from her followers for failing to address Shein’s labor rights issues.

An influencer and model, Dani Carbonari, is facing criticism for sharing a positive review of Shein, a fast-fashion brand, after visiting one of its factories in Guangzhou, China.

Carbonari’s followers believe she’s disregarding the company’s history of labor rights issues and questionable practices.

In a sponsored trip by Shein, Carbonari documented her visit to the factory in a post and video on Instagram. However, her followers are questioning her lack of acknowledgment regarding Shein’s labor rights record.

Many pointed out that Shein has been accused of numerous labor rights violations, including poor working conditions and the exploitation of workers.

Some investigations have revealed that Shein employees work long hours under unsafe conditions and are not provided with proper employment contracts.

In addition, Shein has been criticized for falsely claiming to have safe labor practices and using cotton produced in China’s Xinjiang region, where allegations of forced labor and human rights abuses have surfaced.

While Carbonari received support from other influencers who also visited Shein’s factories, the backlash from her followers has caused a slight decline in her Instagram following.

Carbonari’s videos addressing the visit have gone viral on platforms like Twitter, where users are sharing information to debunk the positive image portrayed by the influencer.

Insider has reached out to Carbonari and Shein for comment, but no response has been received at the time of writing.
