She’ll focus on her work at the White House.

Ivanka Trump plans to shut down her fashion brand, which includes jewelery along with clothing, handbags and shoes, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Trump will focus on her role as a senior adviser to her father’s administration, according to the newspaper.

She had felt stymied by restrictions she placed on the company, IT Collections LLC, to avoid possible conflicts of interest while serving in the White House,” according to the Journal. Trump had distanced herself from the 18-employee company’s operations.

Last year, the brand moved away from fine jewelry and toward fashion jewelry. Brand President Abigail Klem said at the time that the move was “part of our company’s commitment to offering solution-oriented products at accessible price points.”

She told the Journal she’s not sure when or if she’ll return to the retail sector.

Closing With Confidence: How Bailey's Fine Jewelry Achieved Outstanding Results With Wilkerson

When Trey Bailey, President and CEO of Bailey's Fine Jewelry, decided to close the Crabtree location in Raleigh, North Carolina after 15 years, he knew the decision needed to be handled with intention and professionalism. The goal was clear: exit the location while maintaining financial strength and honoring the store's legacy. Having worked with Wilkerson successfully in the past, Bailey understood the value of their comprehensive approach. "They understood both the emotional and financial sides of the store closing sale," Trey explains. "Their reputation for professionalism, results and care made it a very easy decision." The results exceeded expectations. Wilkerson helped Bailey's sell through significant inventory while maintaining the dignity of the closing process. "They don't just run a sale, they help close a chapter in the best way possible," Bailey says, strongly recommending Wilkerson to any jeweler facing a similar transition.
