Ivanka Trump Makes Bizarre Claim That Being Dumped by Nordstrom Protects Her 'Integrity'

A spokesperson for Ivanka Trump dismissed reports that retailer Nordstrom is dropping the presidential daughter’s namesake line of apparel and footwear, stating that the company values its integrity as much as its profits, reports Racked.

Earlier in the week, the fashion chain based in the Northwest said it would no longer carry the Ivanka Trump line due to declining sales and customer pressure, pulling clothing off the racks and deeply discounting them.

In response, a spokesperson for Ivanka Trump’s company issued a statement obliquely referencing the loss of sales to Nordstrom, saying, “We believe that the strength of a brand is measured not only by the profits it generates, but the integrity it maintains.”

“The women behind the brand represent a diverse group of professionals and we are proud to say that the Ivanka Trump brand continues to embody the principles upon which it was founded,” the statement continued.

The decline of Ivanka's signature apparel and footwear line has coincided with a large-scale boycott campaign called Grab Your Wallet, asking consumers to avoid purchasing anything with the Trump name on it in response to President Donald Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric and comments about women.

First daughter Ivanka Trump has taken the brunt of the boycott with a major online shoe retailer dropping her footwear line.

High-end retailer Neiman Marcus also announced Saturday that it will be dropping the Ivanka Trump luxury jewelry line from its stores.
