Celebrities have long dabbled in design, but with the growth of TV shows and websites that follow everything celebrities say, wear and do, interest in their clothing lines has risen in recent years. North America revenue from celebrity clothing lines, excluding merchandise linked to athletes, rose 6 percent last year to an historic peak of $7.58 billion in 2011, according to the latest figures available by The Licensing Letter, an industry trade. That’s on top of a nearly 5 percent increase in 2010. (AP Photo/Mark Lennihan)

Canada-based shoe giant Shoes.com has dropped Ivanka Trump’s line from its website. The move comes as critics of President-elect Donald Trump started a “Grab Your Wallet” movement with plans to boycott more than 30 companies that carry Trump family brands.

Shoes.com was flooded with requests to stop carrying the brand. The company agreed and announced on Twitter that it was removing the shoes from its site. That tweet has since been deleted.

Fast Company reports Shoes.com removed the brand because Trump’s shoes “were not selling well.”

While her brand is still searchable on the site, you’re directed to a “page not found” error once you enter Trump’s name.

Many Twitter users hailed Shoes.com’s decision and called for major retailer Zappos to follow suit.
