Shein

Singapore Retail & E-Commerce Public

SHEIN is a global fast-fashion e-commerce platform headquartered in Singapore, selling low-priced apparel, accessories and home goods through its mobile app and website. Co-founded in China by Sky Yangtian Xu, who serves as chairman and chief executive, it relies on an on-demand supply-chain model with third-party manufacturers to test designs in small batches and scale what sells. SHEIN operates across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America and has added a third-party marketplace alongside its own brand. It listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in September 2026 after abandoning earlier New York and London attempts.
