Chinese ultra-fast-fashion ecommerce retail giant Shein has opened its first brick-and-mortar store in the heart of Paris amidst backlash.

The Chinese ultra-fast fashion giant Shein will open its first shop in one of Paris' historic department stores. Critics see the move as a threat to France's fashion identity.

The first clients entered the store on Wednesday under the watchful eye of riot police, after queuing for hours. Days before the planned opening, a controversy over the sale of childlike sex dolls on Shein's platform triggered a new political outcry.

SHEIN is opening its first store in Paris inside the iconic BHV department store and it’s sparking major backlash. CNN’s Saskya Vandoorne reports.
