London-based fancy dress retailer Escapade saw sales of its inflatable Trump Baby suit rise by an impressive 80% in the run-up to the recent protests about President Trump’s state visit to the UK.
“In the lead up to the Trump protest on Tuesday 4 June, we saw our very own Baby Trump costume soar in sales with an increase of 80%,” reported Lucy Sadana, who manages Escapade’s social and marketing team.
“There has been a huge amount of hype about the costume and our store in Camden completely sold out in the two weeks before the protest. Continuing to be in popular demand, many customers were then taking to our website and placing orders for next day delivery in order to participate in the big event in style!”
President Trump is currently in Ireland as part of his visit. During his time in London, the famous Trump Baby balloon which inspired Escapade’s costume was punctured by one of the POTUS’ supporters. It has since been repaired and followed the president to Dublin, where it has already been seen flying high.
