s'called *~free market*~ buckos, you don't keep the stuff that no one wants and is potentially being sued for stolen designs

Probably to please the Trumpians by not getting fully rid of it.

My mother was obsessed with Legg er Belk. I used to buy Fossil watches there.

I was in Lord & Taylor's last weekend, looking through the discounted stuff for work clothes. The Ivanka Trump-wear was over by the discount racks, and there was plenty of it on the discount racks.

I don't think Nordstrom is the only place backing off of Ivanka. And keep in mind, there are people consciously backing off from wearing her stuff, regardless. I don't doubt that her sales are down.

Reminds me of Allure's facebook page. Besides writing stuff on makeup and hair and clothes, they'll occasionally delve into politics and they are unequivocally anti-Trump. This elicits a LOT of reactions from Beckies along the lines of, "Stop making everything political! Stick to beauty! Trump is our president! I'll unsubscribe." Like, "bye, stupid Beckies. Don't let the door hit your asses on the way out."

I work at a TJX store (Home Goods, connected to TJ Maxx) we still had some Ivanka shit out on Tuesday night, but it sounds like headquarters is having it mixed into "general population" and tossing her signage. probably gonna sell off what's there (it's a better-off republican suburb) and be done with it.

I used to work at a massive canadian dept store. Celeb "vanity" brand anything just didn't do well. It gets rehoused, re shuffled, shipped to larger store, consolidated and clearanced.

The fun was getting 100 heavy weather kids snowsuits in a place that rarely got snowfall. That stuff was marked down to beyond a loss just to move it.
