Ivanka Trump's clothing line is quietly being relabeled and sold off to a discount retailer under the brand name 'Adrienne Vittadini' - months after multiple high-end stores dropped her namesake clothing line.


In an embarrassing development, dresses and other apparel from the president's daughter are being sold at Stein Mart outlets for a fraction of their original cost.

The rebranding happened after the store had received negative feedback from shoppers- with one customer who reportedly spat on a blouse in front of a cashier before storming out of the store.

The story was first reported by Business of Fashion which tracked down the Adrienne Vittadini items and found they were exactly the same as those in Ivanka's line.
