Shein, Temu & the Fast Fashion Whirlwind

Shein, Temu & the Fast Fashion Whirlwind

A Moment for Something Slower

Shein and Temu are the kings of speed. Blink and a trend’s already on your doorstep, twice. They're loud, relentless, and really good at making “just one more” feel justified. But behind those flash deals is a cycle of excess that’s hard to ignore.

At MOONWEAR, we’re not here to throw shade, but we are here to ask: what’s the rush?

What They Get Right

Let’s be real. Shein and Temu have cracked the code on accessibility. Want a trendy look without wrecking your wallet? Easy. They’ve made fashion feel democratic, which is no small feat.

But low prices come at a high cost. Behind the curtain, it’s a whirlwind of overproduction, questionable labor practices, and clothes that don’t stick around long enough to collect memories.

Where It Misses

Fast fashion isn’t built to last, it’s built to keep moving. Which means more waste, more cluttered closets, and less meaning in what we wear. It’s the fashion version of fast food: cheap, tempting, and kind of forgettable.

And honestly? We're not into disposable anything.

The MOONWEAR Way

We’re not playing the trend treadmill game. At MOONWEAR, we’re designing pieces that feel like home, ones you’ll reach for on your best days and your lazy ones. Think less “wear once and toss,” more “live in this forever.”

Sustainably sourced, responsibly made, and soft enough to make you want to wear them all the time. Because looking good and feeling good shouldn’t be mutually exclusive.

A Small, Stylish Rebellion

Choosing better isn’t boring. It’s powerful. Every time you pick quality over clutter, you’re reshaping what fashion means.

So yeah, you won’t find 40 new drops a week here. But you will find your new favorite thing. And that’s kind of the point.

Remember, a little investment goes a long way—not just in your wardrobe, but in the world.
