(146,286 posts)Consumers rejected her shoddy goods from China and her pretensions about being a style leader. So, they're looking elsewhere for the kind of stuff she sold. She's not "ending" her brand. It has failed. Simple.

Ivanka Trump, President Donald Trumps daughter, is closing her namesake fashion brand, more than a year after she formally separated herself from the company and entered the White House as a senior adviser.
Apparel sales at the brand, which Ms. Trump launched in its current form in 2014, soared in the year of the 2016 presidential election. But the company also became a lightning rod for critics of her fathers policies, with one anti-Trump group last year urging shoppers to boycott stores selling Trump-branded goods. Retailers including Nordstrom Inc. and Hudsons Bay have stopped selling Ivanka Trump products in the past 18 months, citing their performance.
Abigail Klem, who took over as president of the brand last spring, informed its 18 employees Tuesday that the company would be shutting down. Ms. Trump is set to address the staff later in the day.
Ms. Trump had contemplated the move in recent months as she grew frustrated by the restrictions she placed on the company, IT Collection LLC, to avoid possible conflicts of interest while serving in the White House.

The only thing I know - she has an angle for doing so and it has nothing to do with doing the right thing.
Otherwise, she would have done so early on.

(2,187 posts)I believe it was Vicky something-or-other, and a another.couple of american-sounding names, and even that wasn't enough. Clearly the stuff also sucked. Ivanka needed KellyAnne to break all kinds of.ethics laws for better sales, but I guess it's too late now. But only for this iteration. Ivanka didn't go to all that trouble to secure all those Chinese patents for nothing. Another online company of her "brand" will be up and running at some point. If she's smart, she'll choose another name!
