Ivanka Trump's controversial fashion brand is shutting down.

The company, which sells clothing and shoes, is being shuttered "ASAP," Page 6 and the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.

"After 17 months in Washington, I do not know when or if I will ever return to the business, but I do know that my focus for the foreseeable future will be the work I am doing here in Washington," Trump told the WSJ. "So making this decision now is the only fair outcome for my team and partners."

Ivanka Trump's brand has faced boycotts since her father's presidential campaign, which have continued into the Trump presidency.

Earlier in July, department-store chain Hudson's Bay became the latest retailer to drop the Ivanka Trump brand from its stores and website. Brands such as Nordstrom, Jet.com, and Gilt dropped the Ivanka Trump fashion line last year.

The company did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.
