(BBC) Online clothing shop Shein has apologised for selling Muslim prayer mats on its site.
The mats sold were labelled as “frilled Greek carpets” and had pictures of the Kabaa on them.
The Kabaa is a building in the centre of Mecca, considered the most sacred place by Muslims around the world.
Shein was also accused of cultural appropriation for using white models to sell sleepwear that imitated cultural clothing.
The retailer has now apologised via a statement to its more than 11m Instagram followers, and removed the items from its site.
