<p>Parents erupted in outrage over fashion brand Balenciaga using young children to advertise what one critic dubbed &#8220;bondage&#8221; teddy bear purses.</p>
<p>The high-end brand is known for its outrageous fashion and is often worn by celebrities like <a href="https://variety.com/lists/kim-kardashian-nicole-kidman-balenciaga-paris-haute-couture-week/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kim Kardashian</a>, model <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/bella-hadid-turns-into-a-balenciaga-vixen-in-offsets-latest-video" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bella Hadid</a>, and actress Nicole Kidman.</p>
<p>&#8220;Has anyone else seen this? It&#8217;s on the main page of their website and is wildly inappropriate,&#8221; one person <a href="https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4681411-balenciaga-bondage-teddy-campaign" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> online to Mumsnet. &#8220;A little girl as in [aged] 5-7 &#8230; is on a bed holding a Teddy bear dressed in bondage and fetish gear. She also doesn&#8217;t look particularly happy. I don&#8217;t understand how a whole team of people presumably thought this was ok! It&#8217;s gross.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Daily Wire was able to confirm the following photos were on Balenciaga&#8217;s website as of Monday morning:</p>

<div id="attachment_466449" style="width: 334px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-466449" class="wp-image-466449 size-large" src="https://editorial.dailywire.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/IMG_4994-324x576.jpeg" alt="Balenciaga" width="324" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/11/IMG_4994-324x576.jpeg 324w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/11/IMG_4994-169x300.jpeg 169w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/11/IMG_4994-768x1366.jpeg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/11/IMG_4994-864x1536.jpeg 864w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/11/IMG_4994.jpeg 1125w" sizes=" (max-width: 324px) 100vw, 324px" /><p id="caption-attachment-466449" class="wp-caption-text"><em>Balenciaga</em></p></div>
<p>&#8220;Bloody typical of Balenciaga,&#8221; another person <a href="https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4681411-balenciaga-bondage-teddy-campaign" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reacted</a> to the photos. &#8220;They shock to get attention for their overpriced rubbish. It&#8217;s like a social experiment on how ridiculous their products are but yet people buy the rubbish.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This though is disgusting and verging on depraved. What possessed the parents of this child to think this is any sort of normal I cannot fathom.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I agree it’s horrid but judging by what I see shared on Twitter with children watching drag queens sing explicit songs and twerk with their junk bulging out, there seems to be a direction (?) towards the normalisation of sexualising children in society in general,&#8221; a reply read. &#8220;Especially with some wanting to call [pedophiles] ‘minor attracted people’ 🤮😣 It&#8217;s sick and sinister and I feel like I’m seeing it more.&#8221;</p>
<p>One commenter called the teddy bear purse &#8220;punk,&#8221; and said it was not &#8220;bondage gear.&#8221; The person added, &#8220;But I can see why people might think so. Still a stupid ad.&#8221;</p>
<p>The purses were worn during an October fashion show, Reduxx <a href="https://reduxx.info/beyond-disturbing-balenciaga-ad-campaign-features-children-with-bondage-teddy-bears/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highlighted</a>.</p>

<p>Reports online went even further. June Nicole Lapine, a political YouTuber with more than half a million followers dubbed ShoeOnHead, posted alleged additional photos from Balenciaga.</p>
<p>&#8220;The brand &#8216;Balenciaga&#8217; just did a uh&#8230;.. interesting&#8230; photoshoot for their new products recently which <a href="https://balenciaga.dam.kering.com/m/7d6d72f3dfc4f7fc/Large-adidas-hp-BSP23_20220717_CM_BALENCIAGA_SP23_06_485_LEX_AVE_0156_MERGED_FINAL_RGB_2105x2600.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">included</a> a very purposely poorly hidden court document about &#8216;virtual child porn,'&#8221; she captioned the four photos. &#8220;Normal stuff.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Daily Wire was unable to confirm details about the documents allegedly on the site.</p>

<p>Notably, Balenciaga has <a href="https://www.instagram.com/balenciaga/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wiped</a> its Instagram account. Currently, there are only nine posts on the account, and the oldest one is a mere four hours old featuring actress Nicole Kidman:</p>
