Sells clothes from Shein

I bought a dress from them only to discover it was from Shein. For a business that claims to be local and imports only good quality hand made clothes this was extremely disappointing. I messaged the owner about it thinking she may have made or mistake or something. I was very nice and asked if they usually but clothes off of Shein and sell them just so I could make sure it wasn't my mistake. I was met with incredible hostility. I did not want a refund or anything, I just wanted answers. She continued to be hostile and never answered my questions. She just beat around the bush the entire time. Here are a few quotes from her (excuse her spelling): No we buy stuff from Bangkok on the markets Maybe the markets buy from shein. That dress cost R550 you Wil not buy it from shein pay shipping and tax for that amount Can you please tell me wear my knits is not made in south Africa and my vintage clothing Please Sneaky wear are we sneaky please tell me and wear did we say we do not import clothing It is all over my stories me in markets looking for clothing I did not say to people they must buy from me at all. I did not tell anyone something about all my stuff is from south Africa do you know me at all to say I am sneaky And can you go and have a look at bangkoks markets . Some people in Bangkok buy from shein. I do not look at labels I buy stuff that I like. But I am not sneaky at all. This was all in response to my message: I think that's quite sneaky then because you claim that your stock is handmade and imported. The prices also make you feel like you're paying for high end products when in reality its fast fashion from Shein. I would triple check with my suppliers because this is bad business practice. Im talking about the dress I just bought for R550 being from Shein Not all of your products All im saying is that you should double check where you get your stock from because it really is sneaky charging R550 for a dress from a notorious fast fashion brand when you're claiming its handmade and local Its honestly so disappointing because its already expensive and difficult to support local so you do spend a bit more money than usual. To find that its just cheap ******* from Shein is very disheartening. So yes, be sure to check your labels!
