Ivanka Trump's Fashion Company Is Being SHUT DOWN -- NOW

Link doesn't work . Fake news?

Hardly that dramatic...

It's real news. Hudson's Bay Company last week announced they weren't carrying the line anymore; in hindsight this announcement sounds like a rephrasing of "our accounts receivable department note that our supplier is in arrears."

"First daughter Ivanka Trump’s clothing and shoes company is reportedly shutting down, according to a report published by Page Six on Monday. Sources reportedly told the celebrity news site that Trump’s clothing and shoes fashion brand will be closing “ASAP” and that her employees have just received word the fashion company will be laying them off."

“It’s just never recovered since she stepped away from the company,” a source familiar with the closure reported to the outlet.

She was also sued for trademark infringement by two designers who went after her.

R2 Okay Don Jr.

Previously on the DL

She didn't "wind down", it was shut down.

Thoughts and prayers.

Probably shut down due to some fear of hinky goings on and deals overseas.

She had it coming to her. Stealing other designers designs and then denying it. Ranting about "Made in the USA" and then most of her merchandise and product lines were "Made in China." Liar. Cheater. Thief. Hypocrite.

The bloodhounds were nippin' at her heels!

Translation: Nobody is buying Ivanka's shit. She could try selling steaks or vodka, or even start a university? Hmmm...

Ivanka shutting down her knockoff business is what really Makes America Great Again.

I doint really care do u??

Well, at least she still has her "Important Official White House Position". Her words. Oh wait, it's an unpaid role.

Trump Barbie look not selling; I wonder why... Deplorables cannot afford it probably.

That link to The Hill is broken. Here it is:

R12 According to the link article and others, she didn't shut it down. It was shut down for her.

Whomp Whomp!

Way too many fashion companies out there anyone.

They don't vant your dreck Ivanka! The discount shops shall be full of this Chinese crap, just you wait and see.

So did it go bankrupt/belly-up? Anyone know?

Bankruptcy seems to run in the family so it wouldn't surprise me if that's what happened.

Whatever happened to those uppity suburban Trump frauen in Arizona that filmed themselves walking into Dillard's and harassing an employee after the company decided to not carry Ivanka's crap anymore? I remember one of them letting it be known she had a PLATINUM Dillard's card but would be taking her business elsewhere.

I found the video. It was Nordstrom they were protesting, not Dillard's. They were saying they would instead go to Dillard's.

I'm stunned! This is the wonderful outfit that Ivanka designed for hubby Jared to wear around the house.

Ivanka's fashion taste will sorely be missed.

as if she would 'wind-down' a profitable business....

R23 Classy!

So what's the Grifter Cunt going to do now? Allow Whoremaster Putin to finger her holes for dollah?

I heard she's changing it up and strictly going with lingerie. She's going to call it [italic] Daddy's Secret [/italic] .

I'm telling you guys, it's probably something to do with Chinese deals and hinky shit. The timing is too coincidental.

Most of her Twitter responses are people reminding her of her hypocrisy, so this is a way for her to shrug off that albatross

People all over the world were begging for her wonderful wedding gowns.

Here comes the bride...….

Loser! Failing Ivanka Trum...! Oh, wait.

Ivanka in one of her own awful dresses.

R30 I agree.

[quote]Oh wait, it's an unpaid role.

I bet she'll start drawing government salary now that she's out of business and "pursuing a career in public policy."

^ Yup. Exactly. And if so, then it IS nepotism with no way out.

Maybe Mueller got a hold of her tax records and she thought it was best to shut down her business.

It's not like she needs the money.

She DID NOT want this to happen and probably tried to prevent it but was likely forced to shut down or it was shut down for her.

This isn't a surprise to any of us, but may have come as a huge surprise to her, being that she has gotten away with criminal activities and behaviors before.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

R41, everything this skanky family does is for MONEY! Maybe she found some Russian investors for her next business venture once she leaves the WH?

I hope that she ends up in jail with Beavis and Butthead, her husband and her father.

No one else would have gotten away with this shit for as long as she did, especially the lawsuits for copying others' property.

She had refused to attend court-ordered depositions, as if one has a choice in the matter and she went with the "will not attend" option.

She had even denied what was right in front of her face. The items were exactly alike and she was still insisting she did nothing wrong. Then she claimed the Hettie shoe, copied from an Italian designer, was not an item she signed off on for product release but when comparing close-ups of her modeling other shoes it was her foot in the Hettie, 'the shoe in question' in the advertisement. Lying through her teeth, just like her father.

This asshole doesn't deserve a business. No one in the tRump family does.

Exactly R45. Grifter Barbie thought the similarities to others' merchandise were merely "organic similarities". Sure, "Evie".

I'm sure she is taking a "time out" from her fashion business to devote her considerable energy and knowledge to helping working American women.

Exquisite woman with beautiful sense of fashion. I'm sure there will be a market for her fashions later, in Russia. They have TJMaxx in Moscow?

Big Daddy Turd touts "Buy American" and all of Ivanka's shit (as well of Orange Menace's crap) are made in China.

It took her long enough to shut it down like she said when she began her "work" in the White House. I guess she figured she made enough money from this little adventure. Fuck the workers! She really is a chip off the old block.

LOL at the cunts in R23! What are they gonna do now that Dillard's will no longer carry Ivanka's line? What cheap Chinese-made Fascist Whore's product line will they buy now??

Good riddance!!! Her clothing was a piece of doo doo.

Sadly, she and her husband are raking it in doing other business, so this is really no great loss to her.

As the story unfolds it will be really interesting to see what comes out of this.

I think we are going to hear some rather ugly details behind this grifter's operation that we didn't previously know about.

Yes because "Trump" and "Ethics" are antonyms. Can't have both in the same sentence.

And you can just bet she will leave her suppliers (and most likely her employees) in the lurch for huge sums of money. Trump trash never pays their bills if they can get out of paying them.

So she’s just another LOSER now.

Stephanie Ruehl from MSNBC stated buyer’s place their orders in August. If Ivanka was going to do something like this now would be the time. Ivanka’s merchandise has been selling very well around the world. Ivanka is devoting all her time to her position in D.C. She is there to stay.

Right R56 and she also basically stole from a well-known NY supplier of materials for jewelry who had said in all his 40 years doing business with well-to-do successful buyers he had never come across anyone who stiffed him, like Ivanka did a few years ago. She apparently "purchased" materials from him "in good faith" for her fake jewelry line and then (surprise) didn't hold up her end of the agreement or repay him in full for the materials. I have the articles about that fiasco and will post them here later if I can find them.

Apparently Ivanka learned from the best ... her daddy Trump!

Before he became president Trump had said that he taught her everything she knows about business.

Please do, r59.

Another failed Trump business.

If our not-liberal media weren't filled with Trump apologists, we'd get the proper headline "Ivanka shuts down business during trade war rather than bring jobs back to the US."

Ivanka ain't staying in DC for good.

^ Agreed.

^ Having said that, I'm betting she is shutting down due to something corruption-related that she is either trying to hide or mitigate.

Didn’t some guy disappear who was inspecting Ivanka’s Chinese factory?

I'm hoping she'll end up in an orange jumpsuit. Barring that, what the hell WILL she do?

R23, none of these fatasses could even fit into any of her clothing line! Oh the irony...

Yes, R67. A Chinese reporter investigating working conditions or something.

I remember that story being around 2-3 days, r70, then......

What’s even worse than the fact that she ruined her company is that her chin implant seems to have moved. I wonder if she got a discount at Mrs. Wildenstein’s plastic surgeon?

Like father, like daughter.

Failures in business

They're also failures as human beings...

Why does someone with all that money like Ivanka always have her roots showing?

They can make up whatever story they want about why she's shuttering the company, because it's private.

I think we should thank Ivanka for this supreme sacrifice that she's making ... for the good of this land, the adopted home of her mother.

She was warned when it was implanted not to futz with it, r72.

It amazes me what she's gotten away with

If the company was successful and making money then she would have sold it instead of closing it. Profitable businesses are sold and not shuttered. And if it were profitable and she wanted to return to it in a few years then she would have just turned over the day-to-day management temporarily to a pro.

R80, Ivanka does not have TIME for your bitch-ass sale -- she has a country to save from Hillary!

Wait -- is she shutting down worldwide or just in the US - Western Europe? She just got trademarks from china. She's enormously popular in places like India and other areas where the daughters of rich, important men and daughters of tin pot dictators are revered. Places like Central Asia. Russia, Philippines.

FASHIONS BY IVANKA , coming soon to WALMART.

Reports were that she was moving her production away from "Jina" to Ethiopia (factories there are now run by Chinese guys), where the labor is even cheaper, and there are no problems with tariff disputes caused by Daddy Dearest.

Downloaded that image R72. Throw it deplorable faces but mostly so I get an overdose injection of self confidence when I'm feeling down.

R66 You may find this article from last year interesting, particularly the 4th paragraph down, about subpoenaing Ivanka's now-defunct jewelry line due to suspicions of money laundering.

Don’t forget that this is not Ivanka’s first rodeo. I wonder if they’re busy shredding all the files of Ivanka Marie’s “lifestyle brand”?

Will have to stock up on her amazing perfume quick.

Of course I'm not moving from Washington silies!

Her jewelry company was sued for skipping out on its bills.

R62 Not sure I think maybe this is what R59 was referring to, although this happened 8 months ago, not several years ago:

"Raselli Franco, an Italian jeweler who manufactures and sells fine jewelry to retailers, claims he sold Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry $56,833 in bling. Ivanka's company agreed to pay in 4 installments, but he says they have not paid $21,222. Franco says he gave Ivanka's company an extension to pay the bill but got zilch. Ivanka's company began paying a year ago but missed several payment deadlines and has yet to catch up. We reached out to Ivanka's rep ... so far no word back."

Oh god, it's got a perfume? Does it smell of piss and desperation?

And champagne popsicles, rr91!

Nope. Peach. Gorgeous.

Pretty bottle too.

R94 = Ivana Marie Trump, trying to sell her smelly pee-perfume to DL. Like most Americans, we don’t want you or your cheap stuff.

Right. Ivanka would steer you to ebay. Some of you are just sad.

R92 and caviar dreams?

That's some cheap ass perfume Ivanka has there. I bought something with plastic flowers on top as a gift and it set me back $75 bucks. $35 dollars is drug store perfume.

Shuttering it OR secretly rebranding it under a different name/shell company since the Trump's are much more hated than liked and respected.

Wait. She made $80 million last year, and is laying off all 18 employees ... 18 employees. Think about that for a moment.

Leigh-Ann waving those 1$ bills around like some Dollar Tree rapper is EVERYTHING!!!!

It was another sham, pass through operation. More supporting evidence, [R100]. She is a fascist and a criminal.

Did anyone buy any clothes from her company?

I’m just curious to know if they were as bad as I’ve heard....

UGLY and cheap ass looking. It is deeply discounted and disintegrating on the sale racks.

She was into blood diamond laundering too. She is really a war criminal.

R83, that's actually not a bad idea. If she came out with a Walmart line, in which prices didn't exceed $69.99, she'd make a killing. Daddy's base shops there.

Or course, she probably thinks she's too good to be associated with Walmart. But that's a smack in the face to the millions of folks she expects to vote for her in the 2023 Presidential election.

"She was into blood diamond laundering too."

But she smells great doing it.

R106, $69.99? Do you think I’m one of them rich libturds with a private plane? That’s a lotta money where I come from!

Does she have extra vertebrae in her neck? The bitch looks like a Gerenuk.,..

They're all criminals. Anything with the trump name on it has dirty dealings.

R109, hahahahaha

r110 except Harvey Kurtzman's short-lived men's humor magazine, and 45 tainted even that by titling a magazine after himself.

Wow R112.. learn something new.. lol. Not surprising, trump ripping this off.

"We're goin' to Walmart!" (the uppity fraus at R23).

Po thang

“Ivanka Trump Fashion” is an oxymoron.

Ivanka Trump is a doxy moron, r116.

[quote]. In late June, the Commercial Bank of Dubai sought—and later received—permission to subpoena Ivanka Trump’s now-defunct fine jewelry line, claiming its diamonds were used in a massive scheme to hide roughly $100 million that was owed to the bank, according to filings at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

But Trump opened a new golf resort in Dubai in April of this year and Dubai is linked with a guy who is helping bail out Jared Kushner's family, Peter Chang.

I bet that court case went away

It means that the so-called trump base is not buying that shit either.

Ivanka is closing her line completely. Lucky for Ivanka she did get her trademark from China. No one can steal her line from her.

I got a good chuckle from quite a few of the posts. Thanks for the laughs especially where a Trump is concerned.

There's nothing transparent about the Trumps. Very slick and secretive. They open up way too much about their personal lives and are very secretive about their business dealings and finances. Trump still hasn't provided his taxes, unless Mueller has them. You never know what they're up to next. Very shady. They throw money at anyone who can make them pay for their crimes.

Her perfume/cologne truly stinks---atrocious cheap-smelling shit.

Washington Post with the BURN!

Ivanka Trump’s fashion lie is finished

The Ivanka Trump fashion brand is shutting down. Its death was pronounced Tuesday afternoon.

In the past two years, the brand has been pummeled for business practices at odds with its namesake’s political rhetoric. Employees will lose their jobs. Ivanka Trump, the woman, will focus on her work in Washington. Partisan politics will roar on. The fashion world will survive.

The womenswear brand, founded in 2011, was built around the public persona of Ivanka: the tall, blonde corporate executive with the famous last name, a mother of three with a lifestyle glamorously — no, adorably — curated for Instagram. The label was aimed at young, white-collar working women, and so the collections were filled with sheath dresses, simple silhouettes in feminine floral prints and office-ready shoes. There was nothing particularly unique about the products. Indeed, the company was accused of knocking off other brands. But there was nothing wrong with the clothes, either. And that, along with the price and the marketing, was what made them sell. The company aimed to dress a group of women that much of Seventh Avenue has shunned, because designers like to make clothes for daring hipsters and wealthy CEOs. The on-a-budget middle goes wanting. The Ivanka Trump fashion brand catered to managers, bureaucrats, assistants, junior executives and the like. For about $150, a woman could buy a perfectly appropriate work dress that made her look a little bit stylish. It gave her an alternative to the Ann Taylor ghetto, a break from the self-consciously trendy J. Crew, a reprieve from mass-market bland.

The Ivanka Trump label sold a narrative focused on professional glamour and mothers who have it all — preferably in an Upper East Side co-op. The story it told was of an idealized working woman whose light and airy home was always filled with fresh peonies and hydrangeas and whose daily schedule was a color-coded symphony of organization: morning run, board meeting, parent-teacher conference, date night. The brand was Ivanka. Or at least the flawlessly coifed version of herself that she presented to the world.

The gloss peeled away when Ivanka, the daughter, came to Washington as an adviser to her father, the president, who said he wanted to put America first and who touted the importance of manufacturing in the United States. Because her brand was no mere vanity project, and making money was the point, her name was licensed to manufacturers, who did the work overseas, where labor was cheap. Business wasn’t pretty, but it was profitable. In 2017, she published a book offering women advice on how to be their own best advocates and fight for their interests in the workplace, while the company that bore her name failed to offer the kind of work-life benefits that her book was telling women that they deserved.

Politics, with all of its hot air and bluster, made Ivanka Trump a walking contradiction. By extension it made her company’s sins plain. Shoppers boycotted it. Social media trolls attacked it. Department stores dropped the brand.

In truth, none of these business practices are especially unusual in the fashion industry, even if they have increasingly been recognized as flawed, unsustainable and even immoral. Consumers are also skilled at ignoring fashion’s dark underbelly when it benefits them. Most sneakers are manufactured overseas. Fast fashion thrives on depressed wages. Landfills are stuffed with our castoffs.

What made the ire over the this brand notable is not the nature of its business practices. It was the hypocrisy that outraged critics. Still, there’s plenty of that in fashion, too. An awful lot of brands that exploit Americana are manufactured overseas. Plenty of brands are accused of copying. But only the Ivanka Trump brand has Ivanka.

Colbert had a great quip tonight. He wondered if Ivanka would follow another company's lead and donate the clothing to children in third world countries. Then he added, "They might as well. After all, they made the clothes."

R24 "Grab em by the neck! "

R34 that dress looks like something a Tim Burton Nightmare before Christmas character would wear

R29 ww for you. And the worst part is her dumb Frau fangirls would line up to buy it.

R63 yeah I know. During the election they could not stop sucking up to that bitch. While the "liberal " media regularly ripped the Clinton's to shreds they sang the praises of "classy businesswoman " Ivanka. I've long said that part of the republicans success throughout the years is that they tend to stick up for each other while democrats don't.

So, being part of a family of criminal, lying, hypocritical, despicable traitors not so good for the 'brand' after all, then? Huh, who knew?

As usual, trying to save face, Ivanka had said that SHE was shutting down the business. Code for "I am not making money from it."

According to Business Insider:

“Online sales of the brand on Amazon, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, and Zappos fell nearly 45% in the 12 months leading up to June, compared to the same time the previous year, the Wall Street Journal reported. In November, YouGov consumer perception survey found that Ivanka Trump’s fashion line had fallen to the bottom 10 of more than 1,600 brands analyzed."

"It was a very emotional decision for her...."

^ She has no emotions because she's a sociopath AND the decision was made for her. Not by her.

Both her and Jared are in financial trouble with serious cash flow problems. It was obvious when she was caught flying on JetBlue.

^ I wonder if they really made $80 million last year or if that's just more bullshit from these serial liars.

It is more funny when you realize that trump supporters are not buying her shit either.

^ I knew once her father was sworn in her business would surely go under given that everyone who loathes Trump wouldn't buy her clothes/shoes and that only a very small percentage of his base were the type to wear her garbage, as opposed to the Wal-Mart and K-Mart clothes and second-hand store shit his base wears. She couldn't possibly sustain her business on only a fraction of her father's supporters.

I don’t have time. I have to prepare for my ascension.

Ivanka Trump = worst First Daughter in my lifetime.

So, is the rumour true that Trump fucked?

Possibly, r139. Definitely....by proxy.

R138 How about the worst First Family in my lifetime. Why stop with Ivanka?

The rumour is Trump became furious with Ivanka when he found out she wasn’t a virgin when he fucked her. She was only12 years old at the time, however, it seems that she’d already been around the block a couple of times.

Lololol. Where did you hear that rumor?

It’s been alleged that Epstein got to her first, r143.
