FWIW, according to Fortune magazine at the time, the relabeling was done in error:

Items from Ivanka Trump’s clothing line were re-labeled as a different brand before being sold to a discount chain store.

G-III apparel group, which licenses Ivanka Trump clothing, rebranded the clothing as part of the brand Adrienne Vittadini before selling the clothes to Stein Mart, a discount department store chain, without knowledge or consent from the Ivanka Trump clothing line. G-III has taken responsibility for the mislabeling, and has begun working to remove those clothes, the apparel group said.

“G-III has already begun to take corrective actions, including facilitating the immediate removal of any mistakenly labeled merchandise from its customer,” a representative for G-III said in a statement. “The Ivanka Trump brand continues to grow and remains very strong.”
