What to know about Romwe
A Shein subsidiary, not a rival
Founded in Nanjing in 2010 and acquired by Shein in 2014, it runs on the parent group's supply chain, inventory and supplier code of conduct.
Most of it is under $20
Ultra-fast-fashion pricing with constant new drops and flash discounts, which also brings recurring criticism over garment quality and sizing consistency.
Y2K and grunge, aimed young
The assortment skews women's and teen: graphic tees, crop tops, cargo and wide-leg pants, party dresses and swimwear, with tees the recurring anchor.
