About Designer Brands Inc.
Designer Brands Inc. is one of North America’s largest designers, producers and retailers of footwear and accessories. The company operates a portfolio of retail concepts in nearly 1,000 locations under the DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse, The Shoe Company, and Shoe Warehouse brands and operates leased locations in the U.S through its Affiliated Business Group. Designer Brands designs and produces footwear and accessories through Camuto Group, a leading manufacturer selling in more than 5,400 doors worldwide. The Camuto Group owns licensing rights for the Jessica Simpson® footwear business, and footwear and handbag licenses for Lucky Brand® and Max Studio®. In partnership with a joint venture with Authentic Brands Group, Designer Brands also owns a stake in Vince Camuto®, Louise et Cie®, Sole Society®, CC Corso Como®, Enzo Angiolini® and others.

At both The Shoe Company and Shoe Warehouse, we believe style shouldn’t demand a huge investment or time and money. Style should be comfortable, accessible and easy to achieve. The first The Shoe Company opened in 1992 and the chain has since grown to more than 75 locations across Canada. The first Shoe Warehouse opened in 2012 and there are now more than 50 locations in Canada.

DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse was first introduced to Canada in 2014; it is the destination for fabulous brands at a great value every single day. There are now more than 27 stores open nationwide, offering thousands of shoes for women, men, and kids!
