I-Asia E-Commerce Giant Shein Shein Shein Shein Shein yathembisa ukuba ‘sibambisane ngokugcwele’ ngeziphathimandla zokwahlulela zaseFrance ngemuva kwesiphithiphithi ngaphezulu kwayothengisa amagama abantu abawathengayo.
The controversy comes as fast fashion giant Ultra-Fast is set to open its first bricks and mortar store in the world, at the prestigious BHV department store in central Paris on Wednesday.
“We will fully cooperate with the judicial authorities,” said Shin’s spokesman in France, Quentin Ruffat, who told the company to radio to share the names of those who bought such dolls.
“We will be completely transparent with the authorities,” he said.
“We will put the necessary safeguards in place to ensure this does not happen again,” Ruffat said.
The Prosecutor’s Office of Paris said it opened an investigation against Shein, and the competitors of Online Sellers of AliExpress, Teme and Desire, in the sale of sex dolls.
The cons were for spreading “violent, obscene or inappropriate messages, and accessible to children”, the office told AFP.
The investigation was launched after the Anti-Defract Unit reported on Saturday that Shein, a Switzerland-based company originally founded in China, was selling sex dolls.
French media published a photo of a doll being sold on the platform, accompanied by a sexually explicit caption.
The featured doll measured about 80 centimeters (30 inches) high and held a teddy bear.
Ruffat described what happened as “serious, unacceptable, intolerable.”
He slammed the sale of dolls ‘to be ineffective in our decisions and management.
– ‘Who can stop you?’ –
On Monday, Shein announced that it was imposing a “complete blockade of pornographic products” and removed all listings and images linked to them.
Shein’s meteoric rise has been the bane of traditional fashion companies and, even before the uproar over the doll, the arrival of Shein in Capital Fashion has sparked controversy.
Critics fear the Sheins will further damage stores in France that have had to lay off workers or close.
“Shein in France. Who can stop you?” It means the release of the left side of the front page.
Frederic Merlin, the 34-year-old director of the Company that owns BHV, has been criticized along with Shein, accused of unfair competition, environmental pollution and poor working conditions.
Merlin admitted on Tuesday that he looked into pulling the plug on his partnership with Shein after the recent turmoil.
“It’s despicable,” he told RTL radio.
“I find it sick to know that we can freely sell this kind of stuff on the Internet,” added Merlin.
But he said he reconsidered, saying Shiin’s situation and readiness to cooperate with the French authorities “convinced me to continue”.
He said he was confident in Shein’s products to be sold in the department store, and accused the “general hypocrisy” of those around him and his “25 French customers”.
He expressed hope that the Asian giant will help expand FOATOLLwal in the department store.
– ‘Shein has to pay’ –
On Monday, France’s high commissioner for childhood, Sarah el hair, accused the dolls called “Pedophiles put things in the deer sometimes they use to practice before abusing children.”
Ruffat said he and “the whole Shein brand” share the same concerns.
“We will be happy to discuss with him these problems, these problems of pedophile crimes, which are too bad to be ignored,” he said.
Finance Minister Roland Lescure had warned that he would move to close the company from the French market if things came back online.
On Monday, an organization fighting to protect children from all forms of violence even protested in front of a department store.
“Shame on Shein,” one of the signs read.
“Shen must pay, politically speaking,” said Arnaud Gallais, founder and President of the Mouv’enFants Association.
