Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Shein to Open First Permanent Outlets in France
Caption: Shein to Open First Permanent Outlets in France. Fast-fashion giant Shein will open its first permanent physical stores in France, starting with Paris and followed by Dijon, Reims, Grenoble, Angers, and Limoges. The brand described France’s influential global fashion market as a natural choice to test its permanent retail presence. Shein has previously operated temporary pop-up stores in cities including Madrid and Paris but never a permanent shop. The new outlets will be located within department stores run by Societe des Grands Magasins, including BHV Marais and Galeries Lafayette. Shein said the shops will create an estimated 200 jobs and help revitalise city centres and department stores. The company is best known for discounted, trendy clothes but has faced criticism over environmental impact and working conditions. Founded in China in 2008 and headquartered in Singapore, Shein ships to more than 150 countries and has primarily operated online. A 2024 investigation found some suppliers had workers doing up to 75 hours a week despite Shein promising improvements.
