Retailers routinely drop lines that do not sell well or require deep discounting to sell. It does not have anything to do with politics.
The Ivanka brand mostly targets " aspiring" millennial working women who " want it all".

I had the same feeling for Ivanka's brand long before her family got involved in politics. Her target audience (fresh college grand maybe under 25 years old trying to live it up, reminded me of movie legally blond) don't have the money to pay her price tag. The women who are willing to pay the price are much older women who will not be attracted to her brand due to design.
Here she is wearing a $5,000 silver gown on the day that Trump bans refugees from entering the country and detains those here with green cards and visas. It was criticized as a "Let them eat cake" moment. The dress can be pre-ordered through Neiman Marcus. A $5,000 dress. Wow, that's a lot of groceries. I could eat for an entire year on that! Anyway, the timing was bad.

I can't afford Nordstrom. Then again, I don't look like Ivanka Trump, either. Not related to Ivanka, didn't I read some Canadian company is trying to buy Macy's?
Considering that Ivanka is wearing one in that picture above? Please..... stop pretending that Republican party is the party of the blue collar worker. It isn't.
Probably has more to do with the product line itself than the politics behind the name... Then again... Trump's brand has been impacted in other ways since he took office.
The silver dress is Carolina Hererra, not Ivanka.
Hererra has been dressing First Ladies, celebrities and those on the chairitale and political fund raising circuits for decades.
Sorry, I forgot that some people need things spelled out for them.
Most conservatives aren't boycotting the Trumo brand; therefore, if it were mostly conservatives throwing $5,000 out for dresses, they would continue to sell and the line would be carried. Since sales plummeted enough to warrant dropping her line, that means the limosine liberals are the ones buying really expensive clothes.
To the best of my knowledge, the Ivanka brand does not include $5000 ball gowns. That's not the brand's target market.
Yes I have. We have a nice one in a nearby upscale mall. If you aren't going tailor-made, it has one of the best men's suits departments in any major store.
But if they play the political card, they lose my business. I have a very nice Lord and Taylor's nearby too.
Retail stores are insane if they start jerking their customers around politically.
