Over 100,000 pairs of shoes bearing Ivanka Trump’s name have been produced in a factory located in Guangdong province, China. Despite her father’s continuous rhetoric about bringing jobs back to the United States, the Trump brand, including Ivanka’s line, has relied on overseas manufacturing.
A detailed analysis by a major publication revealed that various Trump products are manufactured globally. For instance, Trump-branded shirts have originated from China, Bangladesh, Honduras, and Vietnam, while eyeglasses and home decor items are also sourced from China. Even Trump Hotel amenities like shampoo and towels are imported from China, contradicting the anti-outsourcing stance often espoused by Donald Trump.
The Huajian shoe factory in Dongguan, a bustling hub with a workforce of around 15,000, is responsible for the production of Ivanka Trump shoes. Remarkably, it requires over 200 workers to take a single pair of shoes from concept to the loading dock. Here are a few glimpses of the factory operations:
- A worker diligently assembling shoes on the production line.
- Employees taking a well-deserved break in their dorms after a shift.
- Shoes in various stages of production, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship involved.
- Supervisors guiding workers to ensure quality and efficiency.
In light of public scrutiny regarding the manufacturing choices, Ivanka eventually shifted her production from China to Ethiopia. This move was viewed as a response to the backlash over perceived hypocrisy.
