Hudson’s Bay, Canada’s largest non-discount department store chain, announced it will no longer carry Ivanka Trump‘s clothing, shoes or accessories. The department store giant, which also owns Sak’s Fifth Avenue and Lord & Taylor, is the latest to join a growing list of retailers that have cut ties with Ivanka Trump’s products.
The Washington Post reports that Hudson’s Bay pulled all Ivanka Trump products from its website on Friday. It also announced that it would stop selling Ivanka Trump’s products in its physical stores.
“As part of our regular course of business, we review our merchandise offerings and make appropriate changes,” the company said in a statement. The first daughter’s company had been notified of the decision last fall, it added.
Hudson’s Bay is just the latest department store to cut ties with the first daughter’s company.
Nordstrom was the first, who back in early 2017 confirmed that it had stopped carrying the brand due to “brand performance.” Nordstrom had been a target of the #GrabYourWallet campaign, which aims to boycott stores selling Trump family products.
“Companies are now starting to understand if they want to do business with the most savvy women in the country, they’re going to have to show us they’re serious about moving away from divisiveness that the Trumps represent,” said Shannon Coulter, the co-founder of #GrabYourWallet. “It’s not a Democrat or Republican thing, it’s a basic human decency thing.”
Neiman Marcus first pulled the brand’s jewelry from its website after Nordstrom announced it was cutting ties with the line. The jewelry reappeared briefly in March, 2017 but no longer appears on the store’s website.
Other retailers to follow were Gilt, ShopStyle and the Home Shopping Network. TJMaxx and Marshalls instructed employees to trash all Ivanka Trump signage and mix merchandise into the racks. Other retailers who continued to carry the first daughter’s products discounted the line significantly, as much as 50, 60 and even 70%.
Sak’s Fifth Avenue, which is owned by Hudson’s Bay, does not offer Ivanka Trump merchandise online. But the company continues to sell the brand’s shoes at their outlet retailer, Saks Off 5th, both online and in stores.
In an April, 2017 statement to Elle, a rep for Saks Off Fifth said, “Across our banners, we aim to deliver a strong assortment of fashion. We respect our customers’ right to choose the brands that work for them. In turn, our customers’ choices inform our decisions on which merchandise we offer. The Ivanka Trump line is available in Saks Off 5th stores.”
According to Bloomberg, in addition to Saks Off Fifth outlet stores, Ivanka Trump’s retail partners still include Walmart, Zappos, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s and Dillard’s.
The first daughter stepped down from overseeing her company’s day-to-day operations after joining her father’s administration. Regardless, she continues to profit from the company. Disclosures reveal that Trump made around $5 million from the brand in 2017.

“Cheap trash designed by cheap trash”… and sewn by slaves.

I thought Queerty didn’t allow comments that are “mean spirited”… I guess calling someone “cheap trash” is allowed in their newly imposed safe space.

Business is business and a it would not shock me to learn her clothing line wasn’t exactly drawing mobs to the stores. But don’t you fret none, Ivanka, you can always take your line to Sears or Kmart (where it belongs).

You hate Trump and seriously think that the election was somehow “stolen” from Queen Hillary.
So you attack his daughter, who had a life and a business prior to her father becoming President.
Oh, then there’s that thing about you hating Trump.
And I understand that you hate Trump??
We get it.
But………He’s the President of the United States of America, and that means you too. I hated Obama, but he was still the President of the United States of America, and that meant me too. Understand?

No. Trump is a TRAITOR. Understand?

I detested George W. Bush, the most disastrous US president we’ve had until Trumpkin, but I acknowledged that he won by a razor-thin margin in 2004. I was no fan of Reagan’s or George W. Bush’s either, but I also acknowledged that they were our legitimate presidents. Trumpkin, however, is a puppet of Putin, as he made clear in Helsinki yesterday. We were all warned, during the debates in 2016, by each and every one of his GOP rivals, and later by Hillary Clinton, what a grotesque incompetent Trump was, but with Russian help, he eked out a victory, if you can call it that. He has zero mandate, though once he’s brought up on charges and sent to prison, he certainly will!

It wouldn’t surprise me if she is converting dollars to rubles as we speak so she has something to spend when she flees indictments
