The French fashion business Balenciaga has an excellent international clientele. Despite that, two of their advertising efforts received criticism as a result of their inappropriate branding. It depicted young kids posing with teddy bear-shaped bags that weren’t really pertinent.
The teddy bears had several improper characteristics, such as scarred eyes. Since then, the brand has been under fire as a result of the controversy this has caused. Even Kim Kardashian admitted that she is rethinking her partnership with Balenciaga.
