NEW YORK Five years ago, Carolyn Handley walked down the aisle wearing Ivanka Trump shoes in the Trump International Hotel in Chicago. At that point, and until last year, Handley would have called herself a fan of the Trump brands.
I thought the hotels were great. I thought her clothing line was well designed and well thought out, said Handley, a Republican who voted for Hillary Clinton for president. At one point she counted almost two dozen Ivanka Trump items in her closet, including about 10 pairs of shoes and three purses.
In the fall, she got rid of them all including her wedding shoes.
Handley talked about her decision on Twitter, where a number of women have gone to discuss their relationship with the Ivanka Trump brand. (snip)
Jennifer, a Virginia advertising executive who asked that her full name not be used because her comments might upset her conservative clients and because she fears retaliation from Trump supporters, used to spend between $2,000 and $3,000 a year on Ivanka Trump products.
Unlike Handley, Jennifer didnt make a clean break.
I had a couple of slip-ups, if you will, she said.
But since May, she hasnt bought a thing. Jennifer said there was not one particular incident that made her stop buying Ivanka Trump products. It was the cumulative effect of negative rhetoric.
I felt really really helpless, I felt really really sad, she said, and I thought, well the only thing I can do is absolutely not engage with any of their business brands at all.

BINGO!
Funny how CNN goes out of their way to find these “women” who STOPPED buying Trump goods.
Maybe they should do a story about the women who STARTED buying Trump goods. Of course they won’t do that because they know the truth will bite them in the ass. AGAIN.
...a Republican who voted for Hillary Clinton for president...
FAKE NEWS ALERT!-)
I am always suspect of testimony when it comes from ‘a Republican who voted for Hillary’. I smell a pantsuit.
From your keyboard to Ivanka’s ears. That is a great idea. Congrats to you - happy baby to you :-)
A double-double idiot.
She not onln voted for Hillary, but she dumped her very nice quality, stylish Ivanka clothes and shoes.
‘nuf said.
She’s too dumb to see the irony. She boycotts Trump but doesn’t want people to boycott her.
“My soup bowl was too wide”. That is outstanding and brilliant. The best encapsulation of the left and their SJW’s and safe spaces.
