If you go to Stein Mart, a discount retail store with almost 300 locations across the United States looking for Ivanka Trump‘s clothing, you might want to ask where the “Adrienne Vittadini Studio” items are. According to a report from Business of Fashion (BoF), the company that makes her clothing, G-III, has changed the label on some items without the knowledge of the Ivanka Trump Brand. There are a lot of reasons this may have happened. In a statement to BoF, a spokesperson for G-III referred to it as a mistake, saying, “G-III accepts responsibility for resolving this issue, which...

Nordstrom insists its line of Ivanka Trump products, ranging from professional sheath dresses and black pumps, wasn’t selling well, so it had to be dropped. So what did it pick up? High-wasted, acid-washed mom jeans, complete with see-through knees, selling for $95 a pop. Made by Topshop — a hip British retailer — the jeans feature clear, plastic kneecap covers, sewn into the fabric. Nordstrom.com says the jeans have a “futuristic feel.” Even the liberal Huffington Post is questioning why.

Ivanka Trump’s brand is dropping its fine jewelry line in favor of focusing on more affordable items. The decision to focus on lower price points seems to be part of the brand’s overall effort to appeal to the middle-America portion of President Trump’s constituency. Trump has called himself the “blue-collar billionaire,” so it only makes sense his daughter would rebrand to fit the large audience that elected him president. “As part of our company’s commitment to offering solution-oriented products at accessible price points, we have decided to discontinue the Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry collection,” Ivanka Trump president Abigail Klem told...

MARCH 11, 2017 —After several major department stores, including Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus, dropped Ivanka Trump’s products, citing poor performance, the company's revenue boomed in February, mostly from online sales. Though the first daughter divested herself from her eponymous brand in January, a wave of high profile news surrounding the label – including calls for boycotts – combined with full-throated support of the brand from the White House made the sales of Ivanka-brand items more political than ever. Abigail Klem, who took over as president of the fashion label after the election, confirmed the company’s rapid growth online since last...

News about Ivanka Trump's label—who's dropped it, who's still selling it, who's boycotting it—has made pretty consistent appearances in headlines during the past few months. In early February, Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus dropped her line; about a week later, Kellyanne Conway, adviser to President Donald Trump, gave it a shoutout on Fox News and encouraged viewers to "go buy Ivanka's stuff." “Go buy Ivanka’s stuff is what I would tell you,” Conway said. “I’m going to give a free commercial here. Go buy it today, everybody.” We're not saying Conway's very possibly illegal public endorsement worked—it made a lot of...

Neiman Marcus is once again selling Ivanka Trump's fashion line after it disappeared from the retailer's website in early February. Shannon Coulter, the originator of the anti-Trump #GrabYourWallet boycott movement, posted on Twitter on Wednesday that two new Trump brand items had surfaced on the retailer's website.

Ivanka Trump might be struggling to sell clothing in the United States, but in China her face and name are hot property. The First Daughter’s face is regarded as the ultimate in feminine beauty for Chinese women who are rushing to their cosmetic surgeons in the hope of getting the full Ivanka makeover. The Foshan Yiwanka Medical Management company in the city of Foshan offers breast, nose and eye augmentation and liposuction inspired by President Donald Trump’s eldest daughter. The company registered its name, which features the Chinese translation of Ivanka, ‘Yiwanka’, before the US election. “Young women here want...

Ivanka Trump’s eponymous women’s fashion line is reporting record sales figures despite calls for a boycott and the controversies surrounding President Trump. “Since the beginning of February, they were some of the best performing weeks in the history of the brand,” Abigail Klem, the president of the Ivanka Trump fashion brand, in an interview published Tuesday. “For several different retailers Ivanka Trump was a top performer online, and in some of the categories it was the [brand’s] best performance ever.” The news of a sales surge comes after Nordstrom announced in early February that it would no longer carry the...

What’s been going on over at Ivanka Trump HQ since its namesake made moves to separate herself from the company? Well, according to a Refinery29 profile today, the new sheriff in Ivanka-town is Abigail Klem, a registered Democrat who has attended at least one Planned Parenthood event. (Hope you have your thinking-face emoji at the ready.) Klem, a former lawyer who has worked at the brand since 2013, assumed the role of company president in January. She has not spoken to the press up until now, but she insists she operates at a remove from Trumpworld. “I really like Ivanka....

NEW YORK — Five years ago, Carolyn Handley walked down the aisle wearing Ivanka Trump shoes in the Trump International Hotel in Chicago. At that point, and until last year, Handley would have called herself a fan of the Trump brands. “I thought the hotels were great. I thought her clothing line was well designed and well thought out,” said Handley, a Republican who voted for Hillary Clinton for president. At one point she counted almost two dozen Ivanka Trump items in her closet, including about 10 pairs of shoes and three purses. In the fall, she got rid of...

Ivanka Trump has become a hot commodity in China, or least her name has. Since her father was elected president in November, at least 65 applications have been filed in China to trademark the name "Ivanka," according to data from the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System. SCMP reports that these trademark applications are for a wide-ranging variety of products including supplements, alcohol, tissues and wallpaper. At the same time, the Global Times reports that 40 companies in China have used the Chinese characters for Ivanka Trump's name (伊万卡) in their company registrations. The companies are predominantly involved in selling...

There's no such thing as bad publicity, as Ivanka Trump is discovering. The president's daughter was caught up in a row this month when Nordstrom said it would stop selling the her brand of products. Although the upmarket department store said the decision was simply down to poor sales, Donald Trump accused the company of treating his daughter "so unfairly". His senior adviser, Kellyanne Conway, was then "counselled" by the White House after urging the president’s supporters to buy Ivanka's line of products, which includes clothing, jewellery, handbags and other goods. The encouragement may have paid off as her perfume...

Almost every day, Amanda Dexter takes to Twitter to chastise one of her favourite stores for carrying Ivanka Trump's products. Her target is the Hudson's Bay Company, where she used to shop for everything from housewares to clothing. Now every time the Bay posts on Twitter a new outfit she likes, Dexter reminds the department store she won't be buying it. The resident of Wakefield, Que., also tweets messages to the Bay such as, "You are looking worse and worse. Get on the right side of history by dumping #Trump brand." Dexter opposes many of the policies of U.S. President...

Ivanka Trump’s line of women’s fragrances has soared to the number one spot on Amazon’s best sellers list. Ivanka Trump Eau de Parfum Spray For Women sits at number one on the retail giant’s top sellers list. Also topping the list is IVANKA TRUMP For Women 0.20 Eau de Parfum Roller Ball, which is the number two best seller on the women’s fragrances list. Trump’s brand products are currently beating out women’s fragrances by pop stars Jennifer Lopez and Britney Spears as well as fragrances lines from Vera Wang, Giorgio Armani, Marc Jacobs, and Versace. The sales spike for Trump’s...

A viral video shows a group of women storming into a Nordstrom to cancel their accounts in response to the retailer's decision to stop selling Ivanka Trump's fashion brand, promising to shop at Dillard's instead. Laurie Ray posted a video on Facebook of herself and seven other women — some wearing shirts with photos of President Donald Trump that say "Haters Gonna Hate" — walking into Nordstroms in Chandler, Arizona, with handfuls of cash to cancel their accounts. "I've been shopping at Nordstrom for 30 years," one woman in the video says, speaking into a telephone. "Because of your decision...

With the growing number of pathetic stores dropping Ivanka’s line over being a sore loser that her father won the Presidency, something spectacular happened and Ivanka is getting the last laugh. Ivanka now has the #1 fragrance on the “Amazon Best Sellers” list, ranked above big names like Estee Lauder and Jennifer Lopez.

Ivanka Trump and her fashion line are in liberal crosshairs these days and they are making no secret of the fact that this is a form of payback for the triumph of her father, an election victory that derailed progressive dreams of completing under President Hillary Clinton the fundamental transformation of America. The irony here is that it has been the liberals and so-called feminists who have said that Donald Trump and the GOP are afraid of strong, independent women. Like her father, Ivanka Trump earned her place in the world. Unlike Chelsea Clinton, Ivanka did not benefit from her...

Go buy Ivanka's stuff, is what I would tell you. ... I hate shopping but I'm going to go get some for myself today,” Conway said. “I'm going to give it a free commercial here, go buy it today.” That provoked an outcry from Democrats who have long alleged that the first family is seeking to personally profit off the White House. Ethics groups also filed complaints alleging impropriety. House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) described Conway’s remarks as “over the line” and “unacceptable.” He and ranking member Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) wrote a joint letter to the OGE seeking...

The discount retailer Burlington Coat Factory no longer sells products from Ivanka Trump's brand online. As of Friday, the retailer's website doesn't show a stock of Ivanka Trump accessories and clothing. The change comes amid news of several retailers dropping the first daughter's line in the last two weeks, including Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and Gilt. Burlington was selling 13 items from Ivanka's fashion line as of Tuesday, according to Shannon Coulter, the brand strategist who started the #GrabYourWallet boycott of Trump products. Since October, Coulter has charted which retailers do business with the Trump family on the Grab Your Wallet...

Women can be vicious. Just ask men. Better yet, ask other women. If they’re honest, they’ll tell you. Women can be harsh to their own kind, especially liberal women. That’s what makes feminist campaigns like the “Women’s March” a bit of a joke. It’s not about women sticking up for one another. It’s about liberal women advancing their own liberal agenda, and if you’re not on board, you’re attacked, viciously. Just look at how Ivanka Trump is being treated. After she posted an adorable photo with her son, comedian Ilana Glazer of “Broad City” unfurled her claws. Ivanka’s tweet didn’t...
