This news actually surprised me: Ivanka Trump is shutting down her eponymous clothing, shoe and accessories line. While Ivanka?s label was doing poorly in American stores, the Deplorables were buying her sh-t online, and from what I read months ago, her brand was still pretty strong in Asian markets. Still, her clothing was made in sweatshops and her most of her sh-t was overpriced. I haven?t seen any recent numbers, but I would assume that the Deplorables eventually stopped buying her tacky sh-t too. I?m also pretty positive that Ivanka is NOT shutting down her label because of any ethical concerns. LMAO. How quaint to think this feckless C-U-Next-Tuesday would care about ?ethics.?
Ivanka Trump?s namesake clothing, shoes and accessories brand is closing its doors. After 15 years in the fashion business, the First Daughter?s company, which she re-launched in 2014, will soon close down its operations, according to a statement obtained by PEOPLE.
?When we first started this brand, no one could have predicted the success that we would achieve. After 17 months in Washington, I do not know when or if I will ever return to the business, but I do know that my focus for the foreseeable future will be the work I am doing here in Washington, so making this decision now is the only fair outcome for my team and partners,? Trump said in the statement. ?I am beyond grateful for the work of our incredible team who has inspired so many women; each other and myself included. While we will not continue our mission together, I know that each of them will thrive in their next chapter,? she added.
The move comes after Trump discontinued her fine jewelry line back in March 2017, a decision that was due to ?commitment to offering solution-oriented products at accessible price points,? the New York Times reported. The jewelry line, with prices in the thousands of dollars, had already been dropped by Neiman Marcus before it was officially discontinued.
Just last week, it was also announced that one of Canada?s largest department stores, Hudson?s Bay, had pulled all merchandise from the brand off its 90 stores? shelves across Canada, along with its website. The company also owns U.S. department stores Lord and Taylor and Saks Fifth Avenue.

Again, I doubt that Ivanka is discontinuing her line because stores across North America refused to carry it. She was still selling everything online, and that?s how most people shop. Plus, as I said, her label is popular in Asia. No, I think Ivanka is ending her brand because GULP she?s about to take a bigger role in the administration. I think she used to have one foot out the door because she thought impeachment was nigh. But with Brett Womanhater WhatsHisGuts about to be confirmed on the Supreme Court, she?s probably like ?screw it, none of us are going to jail, let?s have a party.?
