Shein Opens First Store in Paris Amid Controversy and Backlash

Shein has opened its first permanent store in Paris, but the launch is overshadowed by significant backlash over the company's sale of childlike sex dolls and ongoing investigations into its practices. This controversy has raised ethical concerns about fast fashion and consumer responsibility, leading to protests and the withdrawal of several local brands from the store. The situation underscores the challenges Shein faces as it seeks to establish a foothold in a major market while dealing with public scrutiny.
