Description: DBI Designer Brands November 15, 2025
Designer Brands Inc. (NYSE:DBI) designs, produces, 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, and athletic shoes, as well as handbags for men, women, and children, sold under proprietary labels such as Vince Camuto, Keds, Topo, Jessica Simpson, Lucky Brand, Le Tigre, and Hush Puppies, and distributed via DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse, The Shoe Co, Rubino, company-owned stores, e-commerce sites, and mobile apps.
Key recent metrics: FY 2023 revenue was approximately $2.2 billion, with comparable-store sales down about 5 % YoY, reflecting broader discretionary-spending pressure; however, e-commerce sales grew roughly 12 % year-over-year, outpacing the brick-and-mortar decline. The company carries a debt-to-equity ratio near 1.2, and its operating margin hovered around 5 % after a modest cost-restructuring effort. Sector-wide, consumer-price inflation and a tightening labor market remain primary drivers of foot-traffic volatility for apparel retailers.
