A woman holds a placard that reads ''Protect children, not Shein'' as people protest in front of the BHV department store in Paris, France, on November 5, 2025, on the opening day of Asian e-commerce giant Shein's first physical store at the Bazar de l'Hotel de Ville (BHV) department store. Asian e-commerce giant Shein pledges on November 4, 2025, to ''cooperate fully'' with French judicial authorities after an uproar over it selling childlike sex dolls and says it is prepared to disclose the names of people who bought them. The controversy comes as the online fast-fashion seller is set to open its first bricks-and-mortar store in the world in the prestigious BHV department store in central Paris.
