Description: DBI Designer Brands January 18, 2026

Designer Brands Inc. (NYSE:DBI) designs, manufactures, and retails footwear and accessories across the United States and Canada through three operating segments-U.S. Retail, Canada Retail, and Brand Portfolio. Its product mix includes dress, casual, athletic shoes, handbags, and kids’ items sold under owned labels such as Vince Camuto, Keds, Topo, Jessica Simpson, Lucky Brand, Le Tigre, and Hush Puppies, as well as through the DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse, The Shoe Co., and Rubino banner stores and e-commerce platforms.

Key recent metrics: FY 2023 net revenue was $3.2 billion, with e-commerce sales growing 18% YoY and same-store sales in the U.S. segment up 3% despite a soft discretionary environment. The business is sensitive to consumer confidence and inflation-driven price elasticity, while the broader apparel-retail sector is being reshaped by omnichannel adoption and shifting “casual-first” footwear trends.
