Shein, the fast-fashion giant born in China and now anchored in Singapore, is quietly planting deeper roots in Latin America — securing warehouse space in Mexico and expanding manufacturing across the region. The move speaks to a familiar human instinct: when one door tightens, build another. With U.S. lawmakers threatening to close the tariff loophole that made Shein's direct-from-China model so potent, Mexico emerges not merely as a market, but as a strategic shelter and a new center of gravity.
