Before her father became president, Ivanka Trump built a successful fashion label selling clothing, shoes, and handbags in hundreds of department stores and boutiques across the country. But this winter, following an acrimonious election and protests against Donald Trump and his policies, Ivanka Trump products started vanishing from such stores as Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and ShopStyle.
Anti-Trump activists called for boycotts against anyone who sold Trump family products; Trump supporters called for boycotts against anyone who stopped selling Trump products.
The controversy has left retailers in a peculiar place, and many have remained cagey or simply silent on the matter, hoping to remain apolitical and avoid the fate of Nordstrom, which found itself in the president’s crosshairs after ditching the first daughter’s label. None have said they dumped Trump over her family’s politics.
