Apparel from Ivanka Trump’s clothing brand was reportedly being sold in the discount retail chain Stein Mart under a different label, without the company’s knowledge.

Trump’s clothes were secretly relabeled as Adrienne Vittadini Studio by G-III, the company that owns the licensing rights to manufacture and distribute garments for the first daughter’s company, according to a Monday Business of Fashion report.

G-III assumed responsibility for relabeling the garments.

“G-III accepts responsibility for resolving this issue, which occurred without the knowledge or consent of the Ivanka Trump organisation,” a G-III representative said in a statement to BoF. “G-III has already begun to take corrective actions, including facilitating the immediate removal of any mistakenly labelled merchandise from its customer. The Ivanka Trump brand continues to grow and remains very strong.”

The same style and design of clothes were sold both under the “Ivanka Trump” brand and the “Adrienne Vittadini” brand with the only difference being the tag, BoF reports.

It is unclear whether the relabeled clothes were sold to other retailers.

BoF says the practice of removing a label before selling inventory to a discount retailer is not a new practice in the fashion industry.

This report comes after major retailers such as Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus dropped Trump’s line following consumer protests earlier this year.

Stein Mart also reportedly acknowledged the label swap. The company said it was not a politically motivated decision because it has carried both brands, adding that it has received both requests for and complaints about the Trump brand.

It is also unclear whether the manufacturer for the Adrienne Vittadini brand, Authentic Brands Group, approved of its role in the label swap.

G-III declined BoF’s request for comment on the Adrienne Vittadini label being used on Trump’s apparel. And a representative from Authentic Brands Group declined BoF’s request for comment on this story.
