Ivanka Trump's clothing company is shutting down and all its employees are being laid off, according to news reports.
The New York Post is reporting that its sources say the company "will be shuttered 'ASAP' and that staff have been informed that they're being laid off."
The Ivanka Trump brand sells clothing and accessories such as handbags, perfume and shoes. It was created in 2014.
After her father, President Donald Trump came into office, critics of his politics put the brand at the center of boycotts and protests. Nordstrom recently pulled its brand from its stores, citing poor performance.
Ivanka Trump, who is a senior adviser to her father, President Donald Trump, has recently been encouraging U.S. companies to pledge to hire American workers. Her company has been accused in the past of using foreign workers to make its products abroad.

Stage 16 of the Tour de France came to a temporary halt Tuesday after farmers threw hay bales into the road as part of a protest, and tear gas used by police to clear the protesters wound up in the eyes of multiple racers.
According to Agence France-Presse, the bales of hay caused a stoppage about 16 miles into the stage's 135-mile route as farmers protested a decline in state aid.
The wire service also reported that tear gas sprayed by French police at one of the protesters was then blown back into a group of riders, who sought treatment to clear their vision.
"After a 15-minute-long interruption caused by protesters, the race is back on," Tour organizers wrote on Twitter.
Four-time champion Chris Froome and overall leader Geraint Thomas were among those trying to clear their eyes before resuming the race, according to multiple reports.

Let's stay focused
Tuesday's protest was the latest incident in what has been an eventful Tour de France, as fans have expressed outrage about Froome's participation. The British cyclist faced a suspension for using twice the allotted amount of a medication that is typically used to treat asthma, according to the Associated Press, but he was allowed to compete.

WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Texas β The couple allegedly behind what law enforcement describes as a "heinous and outrageous case of child abuse" were active members of the Williamson County chapter of Bikers Against Child Abuse, Williamson County authorities have confirmed to KVUE and Austin American-Statesman reporter Tony Plohetski.
Shirley Rodriguez now faces 13 counts and Daniel Rodriguez now faces 10 counts of various charges including indecency with a child, injury to a child, assault and continuous violence against a child. The victims involved in the case were foster children, according to law enforcement officials.
Documents detailing the allegations refer to the children using initials.
KVUE previously reported the couple was charged with two counts of indecency with a child. Those charges stemmed from an affidavit in which a child -- identified as "RR" -- told police that on or around Oct. 15, 2017, Shirley Rodriguez touched the child inappropriately while both of them were naked in the shower. The document goes on to say that while Shirley was doing this, Daniel would stand in the bathroom in a revealing manner and stare at Shirley Rodriguez and the child, who was 15 at the time.
Additional documents obtained July 24 show that the pair are accused of similar behavior involving two other children who were 13 and 11 at the time of the incidents in 2017. The 11-year-old victim, identified in the documents as "ER," said Daniel Rodriguez would watch him with Shirley Rodriguez in the shower via "video call on many occasions," an affidavit said.
The 13-year-old and "ER" told authorities that in 2017, Shirley Rodriguez repeatedly assaulted, withheld food and force-fed them while they were in her care. Documents said she would strike them in the face, knocking them to the ground at her home. Authorities said "SR" is now suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder while "ER" is now suffering from a lower form of post-traumatic stress disorder.
According to an affidavit detailing an injury to a child charge, officers were able to find video from Daniel Rodriguez's home surveillance system, which recorded several months of activity within the home. Video recorded on Oct. 10, 2017 allegedly shows Daniel Rodriguez striking "SR" in the face as he walked by her, causing her head to snap back. The victim told police that when her adoptive father would assault her, it caused her pain, according to the affidavit.
