IMPORTANT NOTICE :

We learned of a fake job offer scam where individuals are using a company's name and branding to create emails and websites designed to trick individuals into providing personal information because they think they are applying for a job directly with the company.

To combat this, companies are listing their legitimate hiring sites and communication methods. Our valid email addresses end in @dswinc.

info or @designerbrands.work (do not respond to interview requests or other messages from these).
