Ivanka Trump Buys Jewelry; Company Donates Proceeds to Hillary Clinton
Jill Martinelli and Sabine Le Guyader, the designers behind jewelry line Lady Grey, have made it clear that they’re with Hillary — or, at least, they’re more into the ideas that the Democratic presidential nominee and former secretary of state stands for than those of Donald Trump.
On Tuesday, the artisans shared on Instagram that the Republican candidate’s daughter and frequent cohort on the campaign trail, Ivanka Trump, had purchased a piece from their online shop. The post contained an image of a handwritten note informing Ivanka that the proceeds of her purchase were being donated to the American Immigration Council, Everytown for Gun Safety, and the Clinton campaign. The caption of the post read, “Dear @ivankatrump, #thanksbutnothanks #payitFORWARD.”
In an email to the Cut, Martinelli explained, “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. 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.”
In a statement shared with Yahoo Style, the Lady Grey duo noted, “We strongly feel that everyone and anyone can make a difference through actively supporting the causes that they believe in, no matter how big or small. We decided to share this letter to make that statement, and hopefully inspire people to follow suit.”
