A week after the campaigns launched and were met with immediate backlash — social media users accused the company of sexualizing the children in the ads — Balenciaga issued a response.

“We sincerely apologize for any offense our holiday campaign may have caused. Our plush bear bags should not have been featured with children in this campaign,” the brand wrote in a statement on Instagram, adding that it “immediately removed the campaign from all platforms.”

The brand also issued a second statement acknowledging the Garde-Robe campaign on its Instagram Story, apologizing “for displaying unsettling documents in our campaign.”

“We take this matter very seriously and are taking legal action against the parties responsible for creating the set and including unapproved items for our Spring 23 campaign photo shoot,” the statement continued. “We strongly condemn abuse of children in any form. We stand for children’s safety and well-being.”
