Ivanka’s bad brand
by digby
I wonder if it’s going to recover:
Critics of Donald Trump are urging shoppers to boycott the clothing line of the Republican candidate’s eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, and the stores that carry it.
San Francisco marketing specialist Shannon Coulter launched the #GrabYourWallets campaign after a video surfaced on Oct. 7 of Trump talking about groping women. Coulter told the Guardian she has experienced sexual harassment at work before and felt she needed to act.
“If Ivanka Trump had distanced herself from the campaign, I would not be boycotting her,” she said in an interview with the Guardian. “But something changed for me when that tape was released.”
Some Twitter users have expressed support.
Coulter also keeps a running Google Doc list of all the stores that sell the products. The stores include Nordstrom, DSW, Zappos, Amazon, Macy’s and several more. She also encourages others to call stores and ask if they sell the products, to keep the list growing.
I wouldn’t buy anything with her brand. There are plenty of other’s selling similar stuff and plenty of other places in which to buy it.
By the way, they’ve decided to stop using the Trump brand for their new hotel licences. They’re calling it “Scion” in case you want to put that on your “never stay” list.
