It wasn't aesthetically pleasing it me, and it always seemed to be less quality than the prices would suggest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-drops-ivanka-brand#post-1774087 Sat, 04 Feb 2017 00:26:25 +0000 Isabel 1774087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mochi, et al. I think that it was a combination of things. &nbsp;Ivanka's products had started popping up a lot on places like Overstock, TJ Maxx and 6 pm : Companies that buy inventory that major retailers can't move. ( this was long before the election and during the campaign ). She was also moving manufacturing to Bangladesh from China, I think. Or maybe it was to Ethiopia. Either way, the company manufacturing her products was having margin and overstock issues. &nbsp;So her products were already trending down substantially. I think that the boycott finished it off it the end.</p> <p>When consumers associate a brand with something they see as negative, it is very hard to turn around. It also killed American Apparel in the end...because the CEO had a terrible, sexist reputation.&nbsp;</p> <p>It is simply a reality of the free market.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-drops-ivanka-brand#post-1774086 Sat, 04 Feb 2017 00:23:58 +0000 Anonymous 1774086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-drops-ivanka-brand#post-1773940 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 16:49:34 +0000 Mochi 1773940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>gradfashionista--I'm sure Nordstrom was not making a political decision. I just wonder whether/how much the drop in sales--which led to their decision--was impacted by an intentional boycott.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've been fascinated (as well as extremely pleased) to see the rapidness of consumer response to companies such as Uber who have been forced into reexamining their activities and policies.&nbsp;</p> <p>The response time seems to be much faster than I'd previously imagined.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-drops-ivanka-brand#post-1773927 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 15:56:36 +0000 Angie 1773927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GF, I replied to you on the other thread.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-drops-ivanka-brand#post-1773925 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 15:54:05 +0000 gradfashionista 1773925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What I said in the main thread:</p> <p>Just chiming in to reiterate Nordstrom's position that it wasn't a political move on their part.</p> <p>"We’ve said all along we make buying decisions based on performance. We’ve got thousands of brands – more than 2,000 offered on the site alone. Reviewing their merit and making edits is part of the regular rhythm of our business. Each year we cut about 10 percent and refresh our assortment with about the same amount. In this case, based on the brand’s performance we’ve decided not to buy it for this season."</p> <p>I would be interested in knowing how the sales are doing of the designers that she wears. Whatever Michelle Obama wore, or Kate Middleton wears, instantly sells out. Even Melania Trump's white bell sleeve dress sold out within a day. Maybe Ms. Trump would have had better success had she worn her own brand more often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-drops-ivanka-brand#post-1773915 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 15:37:16 +0000 Angie 1773915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;Saw it come through yesterday.
