"Dear Ivanka," the note begins, "thank you for your web order! We're happy to let you know that the proceeds of your sale have been generously donated to the American Immigration Council, the Everytown for Gun Safety Organization, and the Hillary Clinton campaign. We hope you enjoy your new Lady Grey #helixcuff. Best, Sabine and Jill."
According to The Cut and other outlets, Martinelli issued a statement clarifying that the indie brand's response was not so much a condemnation of Ivanka as a pointed critique of her father's political views.
"While we were flattered to receive an order from Ivanka Trump, our social and political views couldn't be further from those of the Trump campaign," Martinelli noted. "When we received her order, we instantly felt compelled to take the money and donate it to a few organizations that were more aligned with our ideals."

(21,852 posts)5. Why would Ivanka buy this?
I kept thinking about that because I don't see her wearing it. Maybe it is a gift for someone she doesn't like much. Nor maybe it is to copy it and put it in her own line of clothes and accessories. She has been caught copying designs before so I think it is the latter possibility.
Glad the designer reacted as she did.
