Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of the Company	Description of the Company Vera Bradley is a leading designer of women’s handbags and accessories, luggage and travel items, eyewear, and stationery and gifts. Founded in 1982 by friends Barbara Bradley Baekgaard and Patricia R. Miller, the brand’s innovative designs, iconic patterns, and versatile styles offer women of all ages a colorful way to accessorize every look. Vera Bradley offers a unique, multi-channel sales model, as well as a focus on service and a high level of customer engagement. The Company sells its products through two reportable segments: Direct and Indirect. The Direct business consists of sales of Vera Bradley products through the Company’s full-line and factory outlet stores in the United States, verabradley.com, direct-to-consumer eBay sales, and the Company's annual outlet sale in Fort Wayne, Indiana. As of January 30, 2016 , the Company operated 110 full-line stores and 40 factory outlet stores. The Indirect business consists of sales of Vera Bradley products to approximately 2,600 specialty retail locations, substantially all of which are located in the United States, as well as department stores, national accounts, third party e-commerce sites, the Company's wholesale business in Japan, and third party inventory liquidators. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company has eliminated intercompany balances and transactions in consolidation. Fiscal Periods The Company utilizes a 52 - 53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. As such, fiscal year 2016 , 2015 and 2014 ending on January 30, 2016 , January 31, 2015 and February 1, 2014 , respectively, each reflected a 52 -week period.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Use of Significant Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the Company’s assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as the disclosures relating to contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include the valuation of inventories, accounts receivable valuation allowances, sales return allowances, and the useful lives of assets for depreciation or amortization. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company revises its estimates and assumptions as new information becomes available. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand, deposits with financial institutions, and investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company maintains nearly all of its cash and cash equivalents with one financial institution. The Company monitors the credit standing of this financial institution on a regular basis. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Market is determined based on net realizable value, which includes costs to dispose. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excess quantities, and other factors, including the popularity of a pattern or product, in evaluating net realizable value. Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost and depreciated or amortized over the following estimated useful lives using the straight-line method: Buildings and building improvements .............................................. 39.5 years Land improvements ........................................................................... 5 – 15 years Furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements ........................ 3 – 10 years Computer equipment and software ................................................... 3 – 5 years Equipment ....................................................................... 7 years Vehicles ............................................................................................. 5 years Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the asset or the lease term. Lease terms typically range from five to ten years. When a decision is made to abandon property, plant, and equipment prior to the end of the previously estimated useful life, depreciation or amortization estimates are revised to reflect the use of the asset over the shortened estimated useful life. At the time of disposal, the cost of assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting loss is included in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Property, plant, and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The reviews are conducted at the lowest identifiable level of cash flows. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows related to the property, plant, and equipment are less than the carrying value, the Company recognizes a loss equal to the difference between the carrying value and the fair value, as further defined below in “Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” Routine maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in connection with acquiring, modifying, and installing internal-use software. Capitalized costs are included in property, plant, and equipment and are amortized over three to five years . Software costs that do not meet capitalization criteria are expensed as incurred. Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable Revenue from the sale of the Company’s products is recognized upon customer receipt of the product when collection of the associated receivables is reasonably assured, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed and determinable, and ownership and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer, which, for e-commerce and most Indirect sales, reflects an adjustment for shipments that customers have not yet received. The adjustment of these shipments is based on actual delivery dates to the customer. Included in net revenues are product sales to Direct and Indirect customers, including amounts billed to customers for shipping fees. Costs related to shipping of product are classified in cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Net revenues exclude sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities. Historical experience provides the Company the ability to reasonably estimate the amount of product sales that customers will return. Product returns are often resalable through the Company’s annual outlet sale or other channels. Additionally, the Company reserves for other potential product credits granted to Indirect retailers. The returns and credits reserve and the related activity for each fiscal year presented were as follows (in thousands): Balance at Beginning of Year Provision Charged to Net Revenues Allowances Taken Balance at End of Year Fiscal year ended January 30, 2016 $ 2,173 $ 25,707 $ (25,563 ) $ 2,317 Fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 1,424 30,140 (29,391 ) 2,173 Fiscal year ended February 1, 2014 2,145 30,335 (31,056 ) 1,424 The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and customer-specific identification and believes that collections of receivables, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, are reasonably assured. The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $0.5 million and $0.3 million as of January 30, 2016 , and January 31, 2015 , respectively. The Company sells gift cards with no expiration dates to customers and does not charge administrative fees on unused gift cards. Gift cards issued by the Company are recorded as a liability until they are redeemed, at which point revenue is recognized. In addition, the Company recognizes revenue on unredeemed gift cards when the likelihood of the gift card being redeemed is remote and there is no legal obligation to remit the value of unredeemed gift cards to the relevant jurisdictions. The Company determines the gift card breakage rate based on historical redemption patterns. During the fiscal years ended January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , the Company recorded $0.3 million and $1.4 million of revenue related to gift card breakage, respectively. Fiscal 2015 was the first year in which gift card breakage revenue was recognized. Gift card breakage is included in net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income, as well as Direct segment sales; however, it is not included in the comparable sales figures. Cost of Sales Cost of sales includes material and labor costs, freight, inventory shrinkage, operating lease costs, duty, and other operating expenses, including depreciation of the Company’s distribution center and equipment. Costs and related expenses to purchase and distribute the products are recorded as cost of sales when the related revenues are recognized. Operating Leases and Tenant-Improvement Allowances The Company has leases that contain rent holidays and predetermined, fixed escalations of minimum rentals. For each of these leases, the Company recognizes the related rent expense on a straight-line basis commencing on the date of initial possession of the leased property. The Company records the difference between the recognized rent expense and the amount payable under the lease as a deferred rent liability. As of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , deferred rent liability was $11.5 million and $8.9 million , respectively, and is included within other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company receives tenant-improvement allowances from some of the landlords of its leased properties. These allowances generally are in the form of cash received by the Company from its landlords as part of the negotiated lease terms. The Company records each tenant-improvement allowance as a deferred credit and amortizes the allowance on a straight-line basis as a reduction to rent expense over the term of the lease, commencing on the possession date. As of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , the deferred lease credit liability was $16.2 million and $13.8 million , respectively. Of this, $2.3 million and $1.8 million is included within other accrued liabilities and $13.9 million and $12.0 million is included within other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , respectively. Store Pre-Opening, Occupancy, and Operating Costs The Company charges costs associated with the opening of new stores to selling, general, and administrative expenses as incurred. Selling, general, and administrative expenses also include store operating costs, store employee compensation, and store occupancy and supply costs. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair-value recognition provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 718, Stock Compensation . Under these provisions, for its awards of restricted stock and restricted-stock units, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock on the grant date of the respective award. The Company recognizes this expense, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Other Income and Advertising Costs The Company expenses advertising costs at the time the promotion first appears in media, in stores, or on the website, and includes those costs in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company classifies the related recovery of a portion of such costs from Indirect retailers as other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. During fiscal 2015, the Company began classifying other costs included within selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income as advertising expense. Total advertising expense was as follows (in thousands): Fiscal year ended January 30, 2016 $ 33,392 Fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 28,936 Fiscal year ended February 1, 2014 29,722 Total recovery from Indirect retailers was as follows (in thousands): Fiscal year ended January 30, 2016 $ 2,180 Fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 3,509 Fiscal year ended February 1, 2014 4,483 Debt-Issuance Costs During the fiscal year ended January 30, 2016, in connection with the second amendment and restatement of the credit agreement (see Note 5), the Company incurred additional debt-issuance costs of $0.5 million . The Company is amortizing the remaining debt-issuance costs to interest expense over the five -year term of the second amended and restated credit agreement. Debt-issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization, totaled $0.8 million at January 30, 2016 , and $0.5 million at January 31, 2015 , and are included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization expense of $0.2 million is included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income for each of the fiscal years ended January 30, 2016 , January 31, 2015 , and February 1, 2014 . Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date: • Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; • Level 2 – Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; • Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions. The classification of fair value measurements within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement. The carrying amounts reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents, receivables, other current assets, and payables as of January 30, 2016 , and January 31, 2015 , approximated their fair values. The carrying amount for the credit agreement approximates fair value at January 30, 2016 , and January 31, 2015 , as the interest rates of these borrowings fluctuate with the market. The credit agreement falls within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company has certain assets that are measured on a non-recurring basis under circumstances and events described in Note 4. The categorization of the framework to price these assets are level 3 due to subjective nature of unobservable inputs. Income Taxes The Company accrues income taxes payable or refundable and recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse, and recognizes the effect of a change in enacted rates in the period of enactment. The Company establishes liabilities for uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns, using a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. The Company includes in income tax expense any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . This guidance requires companies to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also will result in enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The standard allows for either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective transition method. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, which for the Company is fiscal 2019. Earlier application is permitted as of the original effective date, annual reporting periods beginning after December 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, including the transition method, on its consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern which requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and provide related footnote disclosures. The guidance is effective for annual or interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The standard allows for either a full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. The Company does not expect this standard to have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs , which modifies the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under this new guidance, the Company will be required to present these costs in its condensed consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the related debt liability. The requirements of the new standard will become effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years (including retrospective application), beginning after December 15, 2015; early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and does not expect the application of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory , which requires entities to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and does not expect the application of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes , which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes and requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early application is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company adopted this standard for the annual period ending January 30, 2016. This standard was adopted prospectively; accordingly, the Company did not recast the prior year deferred tax assets and liabilities. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which increases transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by leases and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

These operating segments are components of the Company for which separate financial information is available and for which operating results are evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing the performance of the segments. The Direct segment includes the Company’s full-line and factory outlet stores, the Company’s website, verabradley.com, direct-to-consumer eBay sales, and the annual outlet sale. Revenues generated through this segment are driven through the sale of Company-branded products from Vera Bradley to end consumers. The Company exited its direct Japan operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. Direct segment results for the current and prior periods presented are reported on a continuing operations basis unless otherwise stated. Discontinued operations are described further in Note 14 . The Indirect segment represents revenues generated through the distribution of Company-branded products to specialty retailers representing approximately 2,600 locations, substantially all of which are located in the United States, as well as select department stores, national accounts, third party e-commerce sites, the Company's wholesale business in Japan, and third-party inventory liquidators. No customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net revenues during fiscal years 2016 , 2015 and 2014 . Corporate costs represent the Company’s administrative expenses, which include, but are not limited to: human resources, legal, finance, information technology, and various other corporate-level-activity-related expenses. All intercompany-related activities are eliminated in consolidation and are excluded from the segment reporting. Company management evaluates segment operating results based on several indicators. The primary or key performance indicators for each segment are net revenues and operating income. The table below represents key financial information for each of the Company’s operating and reportable segments, Direct and Indirect. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2. The Company does not report depreciation or amortization expense, total assets, or capital expenditures by segment as such information is neither used by management nor accounted for at the segment level. Net revenues and operating income information for the Company’s reportable segments consisted of the following (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended January 30, January 31, February 1, Segment net revenues: Direct $ 351,286 $ 335,602 $ 321,092 Indirect 151,312 173,388 209,804 Total $ 502,598 $ 508,990 $ 530,896 Segment operating income: Direct $ 74,114 $ 74,099 $ 81,194 Indirect 60,409 66,213 84,130 Total $ 134,523 $ 140,312 $ 165,324 Reconciliation: Segment operating income $ 134,523 $ 140,312 $ 165,324 Less: Unallocated corporate expenses (87,801 ) (76,242 ) (69,567 ) Operating income $ 46,722 $ 64,070 $ 95,757 Sales outside of the United States were excluded from the Direct segment, for all periods presented, due to the Japan operations being discontinued in the third quarter of fiscal 2015.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of Significant Estimates	Use of Significant Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the Company’s assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as the disclosures relating to contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include the valuation of inventories, accounts receivable valuation allowances, sales return allowances, and the useful lives of assets for depreciation or amortization. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company revises its estimates and assumptions as new information becomes available.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand, deposits with financial institutions, and investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk The Company maintains nearly all of its cash and cash equivalents with one financial institution. The Company monitors the credit standing of this financial institution on a regular basis.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Market is determined based on net realizable value, which includes costs to dispose. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excess quantities, and other factors, including the popularity of a pattern or product, in evaluating net realizable value.
Property, Plant, and Equipment	Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost and depreciated or amortized over the following estimated useful lives using the straight-line method: Buildings and building improvements .............................................. 39.5 years Land improvements ........................................................................... 5 – 15 years Furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements ........................ 3 – 10 years Computer equipment and software ................................................... 3 – 5 years Equipment ....................................................................... 7 years Vehicles ............................................................................................. 5 years Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the asset or the lease term. Lease terms typically range from five to ten years. When a decision is made to abandon property, plant, and equipment prior to the end of the previously estimated useful life, depreciation or amortization estimates are revised to reflect the use of the asset over the shortened estimated useful life. At the time of disposal, the cost of assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting loss is included in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Property, plant, and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The reviews are conducted at the lowest identifiable level of cash flows. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows related to the property, plant, and equipment are less than the carrying value, the Company recognizes a loss equal to the difference between the carrying value and the fair value, as further defined below in “Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” Routine maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in connection with acquiring, modifying, and installing internal-use software. Capitalized costs are included in property, plant, and equipment and are amortized over three to five years . Software costs that do not meet capitalization criteria are expensed as incurred.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable	Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable Revenue from the sale of the Company’s products is recognized upon customer receipt of the product when collection of the associated receivables is reasonably assured, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed and determinable, and ownership and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer, which, for e-commerce and most Indirect sales, reflects an adjustment for shipments that customers have not yet received. The adjustment of these shipments is based on actual delivery dates to the customer. Included in net revenues are product sales to Direct and Indirect customers, including amounts billed to customers for shipping fees. Costs related to shipping of product are classified in cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Net revenues exclude sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities. Historical experience provides the Company the ability to reasonably estimate the amount of product sales that customers will return. Product returns are often resalable through the Company’s annual outlet sale or other channels. Additionally, the Company reserves for other potential product credits granted to Indirect retailers. The returns and credits reserve and the related activity for each fiscal year presented were as follows (in thousands): Balance at Beginning of Year Provision Charged to Net Revenues Allowances Taken Balance at End of Year Fiscal year ended January 30, 2016 $ 2,173 $ 25,707 $ (25,563 ) $ 2,317 Fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 1,424 30,140 (29,391 ) 2,173 Fiscal year ended February 1, 2014 2,145 30,335 (31,056 ) 1,424 The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and customer-specific identification and believes that collections of receivables, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, are reasonably assured. The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $0.5 million and $0.3 million as of January 30, 2016 , and January 31, 2015 , respectively. The Company sells gift cards with no expiration dates to customers and does not charge administrative fees on unused gift cards. Gift cards issued by the Company are recorded as a liability until they are redeemed, at which point revenue is recognized.
Cost of Sales	Cost of Sales Cost of sales includes material and labor costs, freight, inventory shrinkage, operating lease costs, duty, and other operating expenses, including depreciation of the Company’s distribution center and equipment. Costs and related expenses to purchase and distribute the products are recorded as cost of sales when the related revenues are recognized.
Operating Leases and Tenant-Improvement Allowances	Operating Leases and Tenant-Improvement Allowances The Company has leases that contain rent holidays and predetermined, fixed escalations of minimum rentals. For each of these leases, the Company recognizes the related rent expense on a straight-line basis commencing on the date of initial possession of the leased property. The Company records the difference between the recognized rent expense and the amount payable under the lease as a deferred rent liability. As of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , deferred rent liability was $11.5 million and $8.9 million , respectively, and is included within other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company receives tenant-improvement allowances from some of the landlords of its leased properties. These allowances generally are in the form of cash received by the Company from its landlords as part of the negotiated lease terms. The Company records each tenant-improvement allowance as a deferred credit and amortizes the allowance on a straight-line basis as a reduction to rent expense over the term of the lease, commencing on the possession date.
Store Pre-Opening, Occupancy, and Operating Costs	Store Pre-Opening, Occupancy, and Operating Costs The Company charges costs associated with the opening of new stores to selling, general, and administrative expenses as incurred. Selling, general, and administrative expenses also include store operating costs, store employee compensation, and store occupancy and supply costs.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair-value recognition provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 718, Stock Compensation . Under these provisions, for its awards of restricted stock and restricted-stock units, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock on the grant date of the respective award. The Company recognizes this expense, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
Other Income and Advertising Costs	Other Income and Advertising Costs The Company expenses advertising costs at the time the promotion first appears in media, in stores, or on the website, and includes those costs in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company classifies the related recovery of a portion of such costs from Indirect retailers as other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. During fiscal 2015, the Company began classifying other costs included within selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income as advertising expense. Total advertising expense was as follows (in thousands): Fiscal year ended January 30, 2016 $ 33,392 Fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 28,936 Fiscal year ended February 1, 2014 29,722 Total recovery from Indirect retailers was as follows (in thousands): Fiscal year ended January 30, 2016 $ 2,180 Fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 3,509 Fiscal year ended February 1, 2014 4,483
Debt-Issuance Costs	Debt-Issuance Costs During the fiscal year ended January 30, 2016, in connection with the second amendment and restatement of the credit agreement (see Note 5), the Company incurred additional debt-issuance costs of $0.5 million . The Company is amortizing the remaining debt-issuance costs to interest expense over the five -year term of the second amended and restated credit agreement. Debt-issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization, totaled $0.8 million at January 30, 2016 , and $0.5 million at January 31, 2015 , and are included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization expense of $0.2 million is included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income for each of the fiscal years ended January 30, 2016 , January 31, 2015 , and February 1, 2014 .
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date: • Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; • Level 2 – Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; • Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions. The classification of fair value measurements within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement. The carrying amounts reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents, receivables, other current assets, and payables as of January 30, 2016 , and January 31, 2015 , approximated their fair values. The carrying amount for the credit agreement approximates fair value at January 30, 2016 , and January 31, 2015 , as the interest rates of these borrowings fluctuate with the market. The credit agreement falls within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company accrues income taxes payable or refundable and recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse, and recognizes the effect of a change in enacted rates in the period of enactment. The Company establishes liabilities for uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns, using a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. The Company includes in income tax expense any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . This guidance requires companies to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also will result in enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The standard allows for either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective transition method. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, which for the Company is fiscal 2019. Earlier application is permitted as of the original effective date, annual reporting periods beginning after December 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, including the transition method, on its consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern which requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and provide related footnote disclosures. The guidance is effective for annual or interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The standard allows for either a full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. The Company does not expect this standard to have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs , which modifies the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under this new guidance, the Company will be required to present these costs in its condensed consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the related debt liability. The requirements of the new standard will become effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years (including retrospective application), beginning after December 15, 2015; early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and does not expect the application of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory , which requires entities to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and does not expect the application of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes , which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes and requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early application is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company adopted this standard for the annual period ending January 30, 2016. This standard was adopted prospectively; accordingly, the Company did not recast the prior year deferred tax assets and liabilities. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which increases transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by leases and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
