Ivanka Trump’s Fashion Line Is Becoming a Casualty of Her Father’s Presidency
The Washingtonian ^ | February 5, 2017 | Hayley Garrison Phillips

Posted on 02/08/2017 4:04:22 AM PST by Truth29

Getting dumped by Nordstrom, which helped Ivanka launch her brand in 2011, bodes even worse for the first daughter’s business. This isn’t a singular designer making a personal political statement, it’s a commercial giant slowly backing away from a name it thinks might be bad for business. Neiman Marcus followed suit Friday when it pulled Ivanka Trump’s jewelry collection. Whether those actions are the result of a real lag in sales or are publicity-based decisions, if two major retailers are dropping her brand, others—including Bloomingdale’s, Lord & Taylor, Macy’s, Zappos, and Amazon—now have precedent to follow. And even if Nordstrom says dropping Ivanka was a “performance”-based decision, the company hasn’t been entirely apolitical, judging by a pro-immigration memo the company’s executives sent to their employees last week.

With affordable prices, many, many woman would buy her products.

A big plus are her designs. They are lovely and feminine.

Which pisses them off even more, if that's possible.

Good information. I just went on line and gave them an adverse rating on their website survey with specific comments about not carrying Ivanka Trump clothing.

She does have a website http://ivankatrump.com/ but the items are pricey. They also look like most of the other made-in-China merchandise. If you click on a product you are carried over to another retail site. I’d buy from her site directly if there was a product that was affordable. I don’t need any shoes or clothes at the moment, but I subscribed to show my support. Subscribing doesn’t cost a penny! ;-)

Excellent idea but is it legal?

She has a place in her father’s administration and a business based on her name. How is she going to separate the two?

Do you work at being 'the fly in the ointment', or does it come naturally?

I just checked out Ivanka’s line on Amazon. Her stuff is absolutely beautiful. I’d buy her clothing in a heartbeat if I were still in the workforce. In retirement, I’m down to basics and denim.

Done, thanks for the link. We need many thousands of Conservatives doing the same and more such as returning merchandise and cutting up their credit cards.

The company should start a web business, cut out the retailers, and cut prices from the savings of cutting retailers. With affordable prices, many, many woman would buy her products.”

Actually, Ivanka’s clothing and shoes line is rather modestly priced compared to a lot of the Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus brands.

Not totally affordable for everyone but dresses for work or parties at just over $100 and shoes at about the same are within the budgets of many who work in offices.

Disappointed in Nordstrom’s. The older Nordstroms were conservatives but apparently their trust fund children have little sense.

They’re made in China. We shouldn’t be buying them.

I’ve gotten some good stuff at bargain prices at the Nordstrom Rack. Ivanka’s brand stuff is made in China. I thought we were supposed to be buying American.

Flame on Trumpers. (I voted for him)

No-use the gift cards. They are already paid for. Make them surrender the merchandise.

I will be boycotting TJMaxx but I have a gift card I have to use first.

TJMaxx lost seven of their top employees who were on the American Airlines plane that was flown into the World Trade Tower. Now they want to punish the man who is trying to keep islamic terrorists from coming into the country.
