Our verified @reine_atelier Instagram account was permanently disabled by Meta on 9 November 2025, following six days of appeals.

The account was removed for an alleged breach of Meta’s Community Standards on Child Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Nudity (yes, really).  Despite providing clear evidence that our content did not violate this policy, the decision remained unchanged.

Earlier, in June 2025, Fleur’s personal puppy and sailing accounts were disabled during an automated AI moderation scan, alongside the Reine account. While Reine was reinstated at that time, it appears the accounts remained technically linked. When the personal accounts were later classified as violating content standards, Reine was subsequently treated as associated with previously disabled accounts and permanently removed.

Our independent website thankfully remains secure and Fleur has since started a personal Designer Journal on Instagram - @the_reine_edit.  At this stage, we’re unlikely to launch another business account, as Meta has advised they can’t guarantee future accounts won’t also be affected due to historical account linking.  

Looking ahead, we’re working towards adding a Studio Journal to our website, where we’ll share new bespoke pieces and silhouettes in development. We’re mindful of inbox fatigue and are still considering the best way to share updates - what we valued most about Instagram was the ability to connect with you on your own terms.
