It looks like the #grabyourwallet boycott was somewhat effective---both
Nordstrom's and Neiman Marcus are ditching Ivanka fashion lines, and seriously
marked down branded items
are appearing at Nordstrom's Rack.*
The first daughter is seeing the clothing
line she built for more than five years fall apart, just weeks after her
father was elected and masses started boycotting the family's products
in protest.
Poor sales of the Ivanka
Trump line caused Nordstrom to announce on Thursday that they were
cutting their business ties with her. As of Friday, the only remaining
items were a few heavily-discounted shoes on their website and at their
outlet - Nordstrom Rack.
..................
Following the Nordstrom news, Ivanka's line has completely disappeared from the Neiman Marcus website, as well.
Poor
Imelda Ivanka.
Nordstrom announced that they were cutting
ties with Ivanka's fashion brand after an online boycott started in
response to her father's election victory.
Nordstrom
denied partisanship in the decision to drop Trump's brand, insisting
the move was made as a result of poor sales months after it was hit by a
grassroots boycott started by a marketing specialist and a grandmother.
The
Grab Your Wallet campaign was launched on October 11 by Shannon Coulter
and Sue Atencio after they 'simultaneously realized they could no
longer in good conscience shop at retailers that do business with the
Trump family'.
*Her merchandise was cheaply made
overpriced junk anyway---imho
