Shein has a physical store though, don't know if the others have. If they carry products from Shein, why open other websites to sell the same products at even higher prices? It is kinda dumb
I looked into, Both trademarks for shein and Romwe were filed under 2 different employer names but are both owned by Zoetop Business Co. So yes, both owned by same parent company
I find it interesting that although Romwe is more expensive in Australian dollars, it's cheaper in both USD and pounds than Shein (barely though)....why????
I always check both sites before purchasing. I've found that one store isn't "cheaper" then the other (some items are cheaper on Romwe, some on shein). Usually I can find enough to place two orders, one from each site, so I can get the items I want for the cheapest price.
This is how i got here. It came in a shein bag and i have a shein bag coming in and trying to stop getting drawn into their website 😫😂 then i ended up getting got by romwe! Lol

Then they get to work replicating these items for, obviously, a fraction of the price." I love watching you Annalise, but as someone who wants to work in fashion, I've never understood why you support these companies. :(
I thought it was a well known fact that they're the same company as well as Cupshe. Just me maybe lol I find these videos interesting to see the consistency of the products though
I didnt know cupshe was the same too, I just brought a bikini from there and it's so well made and fashion forward espesh with the high waist which can be hard to find! I love it
@@shaunamccutcheon1900 all that stuff is usually Shein but resold under a different brand name from what I've found, some of it can be really nice and other times it's rubbish. I find it easiest to go straight to the Aliexpress stores so you can see photo reviews from customers
Yeah, Patricia Bright was doing a haul one time and was like "wait ... what?" Lol she too thought they were the same. I liked this video, thanks for sharing this with us 💛
I remember in 2013/14 a lot of people I followed on tumblr got sent a ton of items from SheInside. The site was poorly translated, often compromised, took months to ship and the quality differed greatly. Soon after, there was a lawsuit filed against them and it was revealed that SheInside, Romwe, and another site (this one entirely in Chinese and not marketed to a US customer base) were all owned by one parent company kind of in secret. Then come 2017-now I slowly start seeing SheIn and it's like no one remembers SheInside ever existing!! Point is this company has been around and IS the same as Romwe, but probably rebranded and improved security of customer credit card info.
I believe that Romwe is more expensive then Shein because Romwe buys their products from Shein and sells them as their own. I also heard that all the clothes actually are made from the same clothing factory.
This is a great video idea! You should do a Wish haul on items like Patagonia and Arcteryx and Mountain Hardware, outdoor clothing that's normally 200+ here in the States.
I have a theory: what if Romwe buys their clothes from Shein and then resell them in their website? It explains why the items sold on Romwe come in Shein packaging and why the tag says “Shein”. It also explains why Romwe is more expensive, if they are buying their clothes from Shein and reselling them, they’d obviously resell them at a higher price so they can get profit.
I'm soooo glad you did this investigative video as I've always wondered myself. I really like your style choices you make. I wish I could have seen the pink skirt after it was steamed to really see the style & look of it. Thanks again, Jill
In my opinion I do believe that they’re working together not as in the same company but as in different companies they sell their items in their websites to gain more money as in the price romwe had a higher price Bc the money payed for that item some goes to shein as the same as buying an item at shein higher than the one at Romwe they’re basically selling their items in other shopping websites
Great new editing segments! Always nice to change it up! You should do some more homeware hauls, maybe a bedroom collection? And also makeup! K beauty is cheap and available on many sites!
Maybe the reason romwe is more expensive is because they have to order the products from shein first and they up the charge to make up for the fact that they don’t make their own clothes 🤔
This video could have been a 2 second long clip of u saying "yes" 😂 I have both mobile apps, it's so obvious they are run by the same people, I compare prices and points on each one to get the better deal lmaoo
You have to pay more to Romwe because you're essentially paying a middle man (Romwe) to shop for items you've already shopped for. Whoever runs Romwe is straight up ordering your clothing choices from Shein or AliExpress, etc. and having them mailed to you straight from these companies! So they make their profits by charging a few dollars more for the items or charging the same but tacking on high shipping charges where the actual distributor offers free shipping. So you're absolutely correct in having people check for an item on Shein and especially AliExpress before ordering from those scam artists...
zaful also goes along with these, when i ordered from romwe a few of my items came in plastic baggies that said zaful on them and some tags said shein so im convinced its all just a big scam for them to make more money
I saw a cute two-piece on Romwe for 15.00, but Romwe didn't accept my card (They don't accept pre-paid) But I went on Shein because I knew they were similar and found the same two-piece selling for 17.00. I don't know what the tag says yet on the actual item, because it hasn't arrived yet. But I honestly think it goes both ways.
Update: After rebranding, Romwe is like for juniors while Shein is the regular. Romwe focuses heavily on trending aesthetics amongst the Gen Z population while Shein carries general trending fashions and focuses more on the baddie, basic, and workwear looks for the 23-40 crowd.
Looking at the USD prices it was actually opposite Romwe was cheaper so what I am thinking is that they are possibly the same but 2 different branches. I’m thinking Romwe is USA, Mexico, Canada etc. and the Shein is Asia, Europe, Russia, UK, Australia and etc. So that’s what I put together is what is possibly happening.
I think location may be a part of it. I don’t remember which site is which, but the measurements listed for the clothing on one site is metric, and the other is imperial. Maybe they are the same brand, but one is just a branch of the other.
Romwe although originally started in California USA , is made in China as well as Shein. Both are under investigation for bad practices. Most items are not well made and can take months to be delivered. If at all. They are different companies, but coming from the same makers in China. Buzz Feed did a massive investigation into these companies. I wouldn’t order from either 1. Thanks for the video 👍💕
I've never had items take months to be delivered. That's so strange, I order from both all the time, they are usually really fast for Chinese sites. Takes about 7 days to new York, USA
Angelique Guerin - I haven’t ever ordered from them, but friends do. Most of the time they arrive within 1-2 weeks for my 1 friend. The other hasn’t gotten theirs or it took over a month. Maybe it was out of stock I don’t know 🤷♀️
They are sister companies like the person stated below. Personally I like shein better. I like using their app but sometimes I will go on to use Romwe, because I will find items slightly cheaper on there. I also like SheIn better because they put the models information and you get a lot of really great reviews and photos on there versus Romwe which doesn’t always have as many reviews on items with photos.
My dad wanted to start selling clothes online. He found a company to buy from. We went to a big warehouse to look at the clothes. They have pictures of models wearing the clothes and we asked if we could use those and he said yes so guessing it’s something similar maybe
I would guess Shein are the manufacturer. They sell to Romwe who then have to make a profit on what they paid hence the higher price and Shein tag in both.
Romwe is slightly more ethical in it's practices and tends to be a bit cheaper (although sometimes it is more expensive). I also like the fact they order clothes by 'aesthetics,' it means it's a lot easier to find clothes I like. They also have XS sized clothing
One time I was ordering clothes from only shein and when they came one of the items said Romwe and the rest said shein but then another time I was shopping only at romwe I ordered sunglassses and the sunglasses case said shein for some reason
I love your videos 😍 I don't understand how this is legal ANYWHERE? How can different companies be selling the same things at different prices. Could someone explain it to me. Also, I'd love to see you do this with Wish. Wish is always using pictures from somewhere else.
they have the same parent company, the thing is that shein and romwe both get their stock from the same place and the only thing that separates them is the websites, the warehouses they get their stuff from is just the same and they both list certain items
Usually Romwe is cheaper than Shein🤔 at least when I check it’s always like a dollar or so cheaper so I’ve never bought anything from Shein, only Romwe (since I’m cheap😂but it usually comes in a Shein bag🤔).
Romwe doesn't have as many items as Shein does, so if you're looking for a specific type of clothing go to Shein because they probably have it. I tried finding Romwe items on Shein and they only have a few so that kind of sucked. Also I use honey the coupon thing and it has more coupons on Shein. Shein is bigger than Romwe
Almost 300K! So proud of you :) Also my conspiracy is that it’s the same owner, but he put it after a different name and got them both famous so they could make double the money lol
Shein allows dropshipping business to use shein and advertise and make a profit margin on their website but the clothes come from shein... it just brings more traffic having more business's advertising your clothes and selling your clothes both parties make money, if you look up shopify, to do with shein or modalyst they explain it all
I’m just curious where the actual items in the photos are sold? I like a lot of the things that are advertised to me via SHEIN, but I’d rather spend the money for a quality product. Does anyone know where they borrow their designs from?
Romwe and Shein are sister companies owned by one man. Romwe carries shein but Shein doesn’t carry romwe clothes/ items.
Goat
Krystiana Gushee how stupid
Is Zaful also from the same owner?
@@kamilaferens682 yes, they are all
Shein has a physical store though, don't know if the others have. If they carry products from Shein, why open other websites to sell the same products at even higher prices? It is kinda dumb
aww, i reaally wanted to see you try on the black top with the faux pearls
karina ramirez ahh I’m so sorry!! I edited that clip so idk what the heck happened to it?? My bad!!
4:45
Yes! I did as well. I rewound to make sure I didn't miss out, but nooooo, Waa.....OH WELL.😁
I looked into, Both trademarks for shein and Romwe were filed under 2 different employer names but are both owned by Zoetop Business Co. So yes, both owned by same parent company
Wait am I crazy, or did she not try on the black sweater shirt with pearls?
I'm pretty sure you are crazy
She didn’t
Feiroz Sifaf Nope, she didn’t wear it
Merhipsy Healing nope she didn’t, and that one I wanted to see 😂
I didn't even notice lol
It would be really cool if you showed us your closet! And your heal collection
Aliza Aamer really?! Thank you!
Aliza Aamer that one is a bit outdated now, I’d be happy to film a new one!!💖💖💖
Yes please!
I find it interesting that although Romwe is more expensive in Australian dollars, it's cheaper in both USD and pounds than Shein (barely though)....why????
Not always. For example the first pair of pants was $22.30 for romwe but $12.81 for shien.
I always check both sites before purchasing. I've found that one store isn't "cheaper" then the other (some items are cheaper on Romwe, some on shein). Usually I can find enough to place two orders, one from each site, so I can get the items I want for the cheapest price.
Yeahh that’s so weird!!
I was wondering that too
Probably just exchange rates and trade charges
I love ROMWE. They have stuff for XS and it actually fits and looks cute. And every time I order from ROMWE, it comes in a Shein bag.
This is how i got here. It came in a shein bag and i have a shein bag coming in and trying to stop getting drawn into their website 😫😂 then i ended up getting got by romwe! Lol
Am I the only one who wants a closet tour? 🤔

I love watching you Annalise, but as someone who wants to work in fashion, I've never understood why you support these companies. :(
Can you try jeans from romwe I would like to know if they’re good material and fit good before I get some!!
shein jeans are great
I thought it was a well known fact that they're the same company as well as Cupshe. Just me maybe lol I find these videos interesting to see the consistency of the products though
I didnt know cupshe was the same too, I just brought a bikini from there and it's so well made and fashion forward espesh with the high waist which can be hard to find! I love it

You forgot to put a frame with you in a tshirt with pearls. I was looking forward to that ;)
On prices, romwe was cheaper for most of them by like a penny or more in USD, WHY were they way way higher for AUD???
Teena T shipping?
@@sophiastrukel608 ahh that makes sense I gues
I remember in 2013/14 a lot of people I followed on tumblr got sent a ton of items from SheInside. The site was poorly translated, often compromised, took months to ship and the quality differed greatly.

Wait I’m confused. Every time Ive ever looked at shein it’s way more than romwe
shipping cost more
which one would y’all say is cheaper overall like just clothes wise
Maybe romwe buys sheins clothes and just marks up the price
romwe is cheaper
Jessica Perez how is it cheaper when literally every item she showed was a little more expensive 💀
Jessica Perez so quality is too?
When you let you’re friend copy off you, but tell them change it up a bit. 😭🤣
lame
I believe that Romwe is more expensive then Shein because Romwe buys their products from Shein and sells them as their own. I also heard that all the clothes actually are made from the same clothing factory.
Take a shot every time she says “exact same”
I mean Iam not trying to be drunk by the end
This is a great video idea! You should do a Wish haul on items like Patagonia and Arcteryx and Mountain Hardware, outdoor clothing that's normally 200+ here in the States.

Some stuff from romwe are cheaper than shein when they have the same items
they are the same company

Losing WiFi and data for 3 months. I’m gonna miss these videos the most
At least you’re gonna have a lot of amazing videos to binge watch when you get internet back 😊
Can't believe you just mentioned Sierra - my two worlds merging xD
Same

Love that you did show the hairband in the end ☺️☺️ I got the same one because of your previous video! I'm obsessed with pearls too 💕
I love your channel! Thank you for always speaking the truth! I also love your amazing and bubbly personality and you are so beautiful
Maybe the reason romwe is more expensive is because they have to order the products from shein first and they up the charge to make up for the fact that they don’t make their own clothes 🤔
Thank you for finally including euros :) I got so exited when I saw it😊
This video could have been a 2 second long clip of u saying "yes" 😂 I have both mobile apps, it's so obvious they are run by the same people, I compare prices and points on each one to get the better deal lmaoo
I love this ! I have never seen a video like this and I always think fast fashion brands/websites sell the same things so interesting to watch 🙌
Romwe has enamel pin sets that are on Shein for a dollar more lmao. I think they might be pulling a Wish and have the same suppliers.
I'm so glad someone finally made this video!

Perhaps Romwe purchased the items from Shein and marked them up for resale. Have you looked to see if they carry things from other online retailers?
omg yay I've never been this early! I love you so much yore one of my favorite you tubers so sweet and genuine and honest
you’re so fashion savvy omf i love all ur vids
I saw a cute two-piece on Romwe for 15.00, but Romwe didn't accept my card (They don't accept pre-paid) But I went on Shein because I knew they were similar and found the same two-piece selling for 17.00.

Can you do this with Fashion Nova and Rainbow stores if they have them there? Or maybe you can order Rainbow online.

ALWAYS NEEDED THIS VIDEO
How did the shipping compare?? Was one quicker or cheaper than the other?
Ooo good question!
I haven’t been watching lately, idk why:( bit I’m back!!! Can’t wait to watch
Such a cute video Annalise!! Would love to see you do this with other companies as well! 😊
A lot of Asian based companies work through the same wholesalers... or stem off of bigger Asian companies, this happens with clothes and hair (weave).
I think location may be a part of it. I don’t remember which site is which, but the measurements listed for the clothing on one site is metric, and the other is imperial. Maybe they are the same brand, but one is just a branch of the other.

your lashes are really pretty. It shows off the blue in your eyes.
They be looking a little wonky , but she has beautiful eyes.

What happened to the shirt with the pearls try on?
Aaaaa you're so close to 300k subs!!!😍😍😍😍
Usually Romwe is cheaper than Shein🤔 at least when I check it’s always like a dollar or so cheaper so I’ve never bought anything from Shein, only Romwe (since I’m cheap😂but it usually comes in a Shein bag🤔).
where did you get the polka dot shirt you’re wearing?!
Where's your top from? So cute
Giving Minnie mouse vibes here with the polka dots and red lipstick! Cute!!
You should compare wish and fashion nova, I see a lot of fashion nova clothes on wish lol 😂
where is the shirt you are wearing from?
But you forgot to try on the pearl shirt. That was the cutest one. But great job again. Keep staying sweet and positive!!
I love your top! 😍
Wheres it from?
L❤VE this idea!! I've wanted to know the difference too. Thanks for giving us the tea😉👍👍👍
Love that lipstick!!
Romwe doesn't have as many items as Shein does, so if you're looking for a specific type of clothing go to Shein because they probably have it. I tried finding Romwe items on Shein and they only have a few so that kind of sucked. Also I use honey the coupon thing and it has more coupons on Shein. Shein is bigger than Romwe
Almost 300K! So proud of you :)
Also my conspiracy is that it’s the same owner, but he put it after a different name and got them both famous so they could make double the money lol
I agreee
What I learned from this video:
Don't buy from Romwe, buy from Shein
Shein allows dropshipping business to use shein and advertise and make a profit margin on their website but the clothes come from shein... it just brings more traffic having more business's advertising your clothes and selling your clothes both parties make money, if you look up shopify, to do with shein or modalyst they explain it all
You didn’t show the shirt with beads! 😭
I’m just curious where the actual items in the photos are sold? I like a lot of the things that are advertised to me via SHEIN, but I’d rather spend the money for a quality product. Does anyone know where they borrow their designs from?
yes, they steal the images from all sorts of different websites so it's not just from 1 designer. You're better off buying from yesstyle
You did not try on the black pearl t shirt
Isn't it bizzare how things are the same price in pounds or euros? But shein is cheaper when using Australia currency
I have that black pearl top. I wear it a lot and wash it, it still looke good. I got mine from she in
Uhhh... isn't the shipping free for Romwe?
The same thing happened to me with boohoo I got my package then saw the tags said pretty little thing
Love the red lip babe xo
Wish and joom are the same website
for anyone wondering, she has a pic on her insta of her in the black pearled shirt :)
Could you do Pretty Little Thing and Fashion Nova next? I feel like they have a lot of the same stuff.
Thank you for saying you don’t know how to pronounce her last name instead of possibly butchering it 💜
Trying wish clothes that have used a brands photos compared to the real ones would be interesting
Your videos are a most 💕💕
I have arrived quite early
Not sure what to say😂
