France Suspends Shein Amid Sex Doll Controversy After Opening First Paris Store

French authorities have suspended access to Shein’s online platform until the company can demonstrate that its content complies with French law, after sex dolls with child‑like features were discovered on the retailer’s website.
Our capital cannot become the showcase for disposable goods and exploitation.
This partnership goes against all the commitments taken by France and Paris to more firmly regulate the fashion industry.
The city of Paris reaffirms that Shein is contrary to its values.
No one has the right to buy pedo-criminal dolls. These are deliberate miniature copies of children that hold teddy bears, that wear children's clothing.
This model of ultra-fast fashion, based on overproduction, aggressive marketing and exploitation, is profoundly against our values and has no place in the heart of Paris and least of all in a place as historic as BHV.
In cases involving terrorism, drug trafficking or child pornographic materials, the government has the right to request that access to the French market be prohibited.
On the instructions of the prime minister, the government is initiating the procedure to suspend Shein for the time necessary for the platform to demonstrate to the public authorities that all of its content is finally in compliance with our laws and regulations.
We've been fighting this fight against Shein for two years and to see this brand set up in a historic building … that symbolizes (the) French textile industry, it's an unacceptable provocation.
The fight against child exploitation is non-negotiable for Shein. These were marketplace listings from third-party sellers, but I take this personally. Trust is our foundation and we will not allow anything that violates it.
