Sha Una, a bargain hunter from the UK, recently treated herself to a pair of cream sandals from the online retailer.

But what the savvy shopper thought was going to be a stylish pair of sandals perfect for evenings abroad and warm summer days, instead turned out to be an epic fail.
Making light of her blunder, Sha took to social media to show off her hilarious error – which saw her accidentally order the sandals, which she thought would be a gorgeous dupe of the £610 Oran sandals from Hermes, in a children’s size.
Posting on Dogspotting Society, a public Facebook group with 1.4 million members, Sha uploaded snaps of her tiny shoes, which are the same size as her hand.
Not only this, but she also shared pictures of her dog wearing the sandals – and it’s left thousands of people in hysterics.
Alongside the post, the Shein shopper joked: “One woman’s Shein fail is another’s treasure.”
She then confirmed: “Been waiting weeks for my new holiday shoes and I’ve been done dirty but we found a new use.”
But although Sha can’t wear her new sandals, she acknowledged that they’ve gone down a treat with her pooch, as she added: “She’s absolutely rocking them and loving it.”
As well as this, Sha later confessed to her blunder and wrote: “They did say kids in the description but I completely missed that.
“Greatest mistake I’ve ever made.”
Sha’s post quickly racked up 120,000 likes and has since been re-shared on BARGAIN LOVERS Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range & More, a public Facebook group with 859,600 members.
A user named Liyana Leena re-shared the hilarious blunder alongside laughing emojis and in just nine hours, it has amassed 9,900 likes, 1,300 comments and 428 shares.
Social media users couldn’t believe their eyes at Sha’s blunder and stressed the importance of always reading reviews and double checking the sizing when buying items from Shein.
How does Shein work and are other brands listed on their website?
Known for their cheap clothing, Shein sells its own products and acts as a marketplace for third-party sellers.
They do not sell designer brands, and in the past have been plagued by accusations of counterfeits and copyright violations.
Previously brands like Ralph Lauren and Oakley have sued the fashion giant for violating their intellectual property rights.
One person said: “Always read the reviews when ordering from Shein.”
Another added: “Hahahahah, at least I’m not the only one.”

What is Shein and is it legit?
Shein is an online-only fast-fashion retailer, based out of China, that has become a number one shopping destination for many around the world.
The company was valued at $66billion in 2023, dwarfing that of popular high street brands Zara and H&M.
The fashion retailer was founded in late 2008, by entrepreneur and marketing specialist Xu Yangtian, also known as Chris Xu.
Shein is a legitimate selling website and is not a phishing scam.
But you may receive a disappointing order or run into shipping issues if you order from the site, according to reviews.
There have been swathes of quality complaints, which makes sense when looking at the price tag.
