A new online campaign is calling on US consumers to boycott products by the daughter of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Some are also calling on people to not shop in stores that stock Ivanka Trump's merchandise.

The #GrabYourWallet campaign is a play on words, after Mr Trump was heard making lewd comments about women in a 2005 video.

The businessman bragged in vulgar terms about kissing, groping and trying to have sex with women.

He said: "I just start kissing them. And when you're a star they let you do it. Grab them by the p****. You can do anything."

Mr Trump issued a video apology afterwards, in which he said: "I've said and done things I regret, and the words released today on this more than a decade-old video are one of them.

"Anyone who knows me knows these words don't reflect who I am. I said it, I was wrong and I apologise."

Since then, several women have emerged claiming inappropriate behaviour from him - which he denies.

Now, people on social media are calling for a boycott of his daughter's products.

Ms Trump's line includes jewellery, shoes, clothes and handbags.

The Ivanka Trump Collection is sold at several US and international retailers - including Amazon, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's and Macy’s.

CNBC reports Ms Trump's business saw $100m (€91.7m) in revenue last year.
