Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared by Christopher & Banks Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Christopher & Banks”, “the Company”, “we” or “us”) pursuant to the current rules and regulations of the United States ("U.S.") Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. have been omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, except the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 2, 2019 derived from the Company's audited financial statements, should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2019 . The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal adjustments, except as otherwise stated in these notes, considered necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of May 4, 2019 , May 5, 2018 and for all periods presented. Recently issued accounting pronouncements In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement - Disclosure Framework (Topic 820) . The updated guidance improves the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The updated guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the updated provisions. Recently adopted accounting pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The Company adopted the new standard, ASC 842, Leases , and all related amendments on February 3, 2019 using the "Comparatives Under 840 Option" for all leases in which we applied the previous standard, ASC 840, Leases , and recognized the effects of applying ASC 842 as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of February 3, 2019. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carryforward the historical lease classification. In addition, we elected certain practical expedients and accounting policies including the lessee practical expedient to not separate lease components. We made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. We recognize those lease payments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Adoption of the standard resulted in the recognition of operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities of $134.9 million and $153.9 million , respectively, as of February 3, 2019. The operating lease asset recorded at adoption of the standard represents the capitalization of operating lease assets and the reclassification of prepaid rent and leasehold acquisition costs, offset by the reclassification of straight-line rent accruals, tenant improvement allowances and vacant space reserves. At adoption, we recorded an adjustment to retained earnings of $3.3 million , which includes the recognition of the deferred gain on the sale-leaseback transaction of our corporate headquarters facility. Additional information and disclosures required by the new standard are contained in Note 9 - Leases . In August 2018, the SEC adopted a final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification that amends certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. The amendments also expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of shareholders' equity for interim financial statements, in which registrants must now analyze changes in shareholders’ equity, in the form of reconciliation, for the current and comparative year-to-date periods, with subtotals for each interim period. This final rule was effective on November 5, 2018. As of the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, the Company has adopted all relevant disclosure requirements, including the shareholders’ equity interim disclosures. We reviewed all other significant newly-issued accounting pronouncements and concluded they are either not applicable to our operations or that no material effect is expected on our consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.

Revenue

Revenue	3 Months Ended
	May 04, 2019
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue	Revenue Merchandise sales We sell merchandise through our brick and mortar and eCommerce sales channels. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised merchandise is transferred to our customers. Within our brick and mortar sales channel, control is transferred at the point of sale. Within our eCommerce sales channel, control is transferred upon delivery of the merchandise to our customers. Shipping revenues associated with the eCommerce channel are recognized upon the completion of the delivery. The revenue recorded reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for our merchandise. The Company has elected, as an accounting policy, to exclude from the transaction price all taxes assessed by governmental authorities imposed on merchandise sales. Right of return As part of our merchandise sales, we offer customers a right of return on merchandise that lapses based on the original purchase date. The Company estimates the amount of sales that may be returned by our customers and records this estimate as a reduction of revenue in the period in which the related revenues are recognized. We utilize historical and industry data to estimate the total return liability. Conversely, the reduction in revenue results in a corresponding reduction in merchandise, buying and occupancy costs which results in a contract asset for the anticipated merchandise returned. The total reduction in revenue from estimated returns was $1.9 million and $1.2 million as of May 4, 2019 and February 2, 2019 , respectively, which is included within accrued liabilities and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Friendship rewards program The Company established the Friendship Rewards Program as a loyalty program where customers earn points towards future discount certificates based on their purchase activity. We have identified the additional benefits received from this program as a separate performance obligation within a sales contract in the form of the discount certificates earned by customers. Accordingly, we assess any incremental discounts issued to our customers through the program and allocate a portion of the transaction price associated with merchandise sales from loyalty program members to the future discounts earned. The transaction price allocated to future discounts is recorded as deferred revenue until the discounts are used or forfeited. In addition, the Company estimates breakage on the points earned within the program that will not be used by customers for future discounts. The Company estimates breakage based on the historical redemption rate and considers industry trends. Breakage is recorded as a reduction to the deferred revenue associated with the program. As of May 4, 2019 , and February 2, 2019 , the Company recorded $4.4 million and $3.8 million , respectively, in deferred revenue associated with the program, which is included in accrued liabilities and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gift card revenue The Company sells gift cards to customers which can be redeemed for merchandise within our brick and mortar and eCommerce sales channels. Gift cards are recorded as deferred revenue when issued and are subsequently recorded as revenue upon redemption. The Company estimates breakage related to gift cards when the likelihood of redemption is remote. This estimate utilizes historical trends based on the vintage of the gift card. Breakage on gift cards is recorded as revenue in proportion to the rate of gift card redemptions by vintage. This represents a change in the methodology used to estimate breakage as, prior to the adoption of ASC 606, we had historically recognized breakage for the portion of the gift card balances that remained outstanding following 36 months of issuance. As of May 4, 2019 , and February 2, 2019 , the Company had $3.2 million and $4.6 million , respectively, of deferred revenue associated with the issuance of gift cards. The deferred gift card revenue is included in accrued liabilities and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Private label credit card The Company offers a private label credit card ("PLCC") which bears the Christopher and Banks brand name offered under an agreement with Comenity Bank. Pursuant to this agreement, there are several obligations on behalf of Comenity Bank that impact the recording of revenue. As part of the agreement, the Company received a signing bonus. We have determined that the benefits associated with signing the agreement are recognized over time throughout its term. This is the most accurate depiction of the transfer of services as the customer receives and consumes the benefits by obtaining and having the ability to use financing through Comenity Bank for purchases within our brick and mortar and eCommerce sales channels throughout the agreement's term. The deferred signing bonus is included in other liabilities and is being recognized in net sales ratably over the term of the contract. The other revenue based on customer usage of the card is recognized in net sales in the periods in which the related customer transaction occurs. As of May 4, 2019 and February 2, 2019 , the Company had $1.6 million recorded as deferred revenue associated with the signing bonus, of which $0.3 million is included in accrued liabilities and other current liabilities and the remaining $1.3 million is included in other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recorded $0.1 million into revenue for the thirteen -week period ended May 4, 2019 associated with the signing bonus. The Company records revenue associated with royalties received for purchases made using the PLCC. Royalty revenue is recognized based on the total amount to which we have a right to invoice in accordance with the practical expedient included in ASC 606. Accordingly, royalty revenue is recognized in the period in which the related purchases are recognized. The Company receives a performance bonus based on the total amount of new PLCC accounts that are opened during the year. We have determined that this is a form of variable consideration. Variable consideration is recorded if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of revenue under the contract will not occur. Disaggregation of revenue The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by sales channel. All revenue illustrated below is included within our one reportable segment. Thirteen Weeks Ended Thirteen Weeks Ended May 4, 2019 May 5, 2018 Brick and mortar stores $ 65,052 $ 68,055 eCommerce sales 18,900 18,794 1 Other (732 ) (948 ) Net sales $ 83,220 $ 85,901 (1) Includes approximately $2.3 million of 2018 first quarter revenues from orders placed in store and fulfilled from another location.

As of May 4, 2019 , and February 2, 2019 , the Company did not have any material contract assets. For the thirteen -week periods ended May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018 , the Company did not recognize any revenue resulting from changes in the estimated variable consideration to be received associated with performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods.

In conjunction with an impairment analysis, leasehold improvements, store furniture and fixtures at certain under-performing stores, and stores identified for closure were analyzed for impairment. As a result of this analysis, the Company recorded a no long-lived asset impairment during the thirteen-week periods ended May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018 . Sale-Leaseback On April 27, 2018 , the Company completed the sale of and entered into an agreement to leaseback its corporate headquarters facility, including the distribution center, in Plymouth, Minnesota. The agreement provided for the sale of the facility for a purchase price of $13.7 million and the subsequent leaseback of the facility for a 15 -year period. The lease is classified as an operating lease. As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded a deferred gain of $7.7 million . During Fiscal 2018, the Company recognized the deferred gain on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. At the beginning of Fiscal 2019, the remaining $7.3 million of the deferred gain reduced retained earnings with the adoption of ASC 842, Leases . As part of the transaction, the Company deposited $1.7 million in escrow for certain repairs to the building. As of May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018 , $0.8 million and $1.7 million remained in escrow for repairs to the building. This amount is considered to be restricted cash and is included within cash and cash equivalents on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Credit Facility

Credit Facility	3 Months Ended

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Credit Facility	Credit Facility The Company is party to an amended and restated credit agreement ("the Credit Facility") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), as lender. On August 3, 2018, the Company entered into a second amendment ("Second Amendment") to the Credit Facility. The Second Amendment, among other changes, (i) extended the term of the Credit Facility to August 3, 2023; and (ii) supplemented the existing $50.0 million revolving Credit Facility by adding a new $5.0 million revolving "first-in, last-out" tranche credit facility (the "FILO Facility"), subject to borrowing base restrictions applicable to the FILO Facility. The Company must draw under the FILO Facility before making any borrowings under the revolving Credit Facility. Loans under the FILO Facility will bear interest based on quarterly excess available under the Borrowing Base as defined in the Credit Facility. The interest rate under the FILO Facility will be either (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 3.00% for FILO loans that are LIBOR loans; or (ii) 2.00% above the Base Rate for FILO loans that are Base Rate loans as such terms are defined in the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility will generally accrue interest at a rate ranging from 1.50% to 1.75% over the LIBOR or 0.50% to 0.75% over the Wells Fargo Prime Rate based on the amount of Average Daily Availability for the Fiscal Quarter immediately preceding each Adjustment Date, as such terms are defined in the Credit Facility. The Company has the ability to select between the LIBOR or prime based rate at the time of the cash advance. The Credit Facility has an unused commitment fee of 0.25% . In addition to these changes, the Second Amendment eliminates availability against the Company's real property, which was the subject of a sale-leaseback transaction on April 27, 2018 . The Company has recorded approximately $0.2 million of deferred financing costs during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019 in connection with the Second Amendment. The deferred financing costs have been combined with the balance of the deferred financing costs remaining from the prior amendment on September 8, 2014. Deferred financing costs are included in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and are being amortized as interest expense over the related term of the Second Amendment. The Credit Facility contains customary events of default and various affirmative and negative covenants. The sole financial covenant contained in the Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain Availability at least equal to the greater of (a) ten percent ( 10% ) of the borrowing base or (b) $3.0 million . In addition, the Credit Facility permits the payment of dividends to the Company's stockholders if certain financial conditions are met. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants and other financial provisions of the Credit Facility as of May 4, 2019 . The Company's obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company has pledged substantially all of its assets as collateral security for the loans, including accounts owed to the Company, bank accounts, inventory, other tangible and intangible personal property, intellectual property (including patents and trademarks), and stock or other evidences of ownership of 100% of all of the Company's subsidiaries. There were $3.0 million and zero in outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility as of May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018 , respectively. The capped borrowing base at May 4, 2019 was approximately $40.7 million . As of May 4, 2019 , the Company had open on-demand letters of credit of approximately $10.9 million . Accordingly, after reducing the capped borrowing base, current borrowings of $3.0 million , open letters of credit and the required minimum availability of the greater of $3.0 million , or $3.6 million ( 10.0% of the revolving loan cap), the net availability of revolving credit loans under the Credit Facility was approximately $23.2 million at May 4, 2019 .

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes For the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, the Company recorded income tax expense of $40 thousand , or an effective rate of (0.7)% , versus income tax expense of $43 thousand , or an effective rate of (0.8)% , for the same period of Fiscal 2018. The income tax provisions for the Fiscal 2019 and 2018 periods are primarily driven by state taxes. As of May 4, 2019 , the possibility of future cumulative losses still exists. Accordingly, the Company has continued to maintain a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. A small deferred tax asset was allowed to remain related to certain state tax benefits. As of February 2, 2019 , the Company has gross federal and state net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards of approximately $145.5 million and $73.6 million , respectively. A portion of the federal net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2032 while the other portion can be carried forward indefinitely. The state net operating loss carryforwards have carryforward periods of 5 to 20 years and begin to expire in the current year. The Company also has federal tax credits of $859 thousand which will begin to expire in 2030 and gross charitable contribution carryforwards of $726 thousand that will begin to expire in 2020. Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code limit the annual utilization of certain tax attributes, including net operating loss carryforwards, incurred prior to a change in ownership. If the Company were to experience an ownership change, as defined by Sections 382 and 383, its ability to utilize its tax attributes could be substantially limited. Depending on the severity of the annual NOL limitation, the Company could permanently lose its ability to use a significant number of its accumulated NOLs. The Company's liability for unrecognized tax benefits associated with uncertain tax provisions is recorded within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Other non-current liabilities. There has been no material change in the reserve for unrecognized tax benefits since the end of the previous year. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as components of income tax expense. We do not expect any significant changes to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and local jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company or its subsidiaries are no longer subject to examination prior to tax years before Fiscal 2011. The Company does not have any ongoing income tax audits that are anticipated to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements 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 recorded at fair value are categorized using defined hierarchical levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair value measurements, as follows: Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability. Assets that are Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis: The following table summarizes certain information for non-financial assets for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019 and the fiscal year ended February 2, 2019 , that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in periods subsequent to an initial recognition period. The Company places amounts into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date. Thirteen Weeks Ended Fiscal Year Ended Long-Lived Assets Held and Used (in thousands) : May 4, 2019 February 2, 2019 Carrying value $ — $ 4,829 Fair value measured using Level 3 inputs $ — $ 445 Impairment charge $ — $ 4,384 All of the fair value measurements included in the table above were based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Company determines fair value for measuring assets on a non-recurring basis using a discounted cash flow approach as discussed in Note 3, Property, Plant and Equipment . In determining future cash flows, the Company uses its best estimate of future operating results, which requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimated sales, merchandise margin and expense levels, and the selection of an appropriate discount rate; therefore, differences in the estimates or assumptions could produce significantly different results. General economic uncertainty impacting the retail industry and continuation of recent trends in company performance makes it reasonably possible that additional long-lived asset impairments could be identified and recorded in future periods. Fixed asset fair values were derived using a discounted cash flow ("DCF") model to estimate the present value of net cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. The key inputs to the DCF model generally included our forecasts of net cash generated from revenue, expenses and other significant cash outflows, such as capital expenditures, as well as an appropriate discount rate. In the case of assets for which the impairment was the result of restructuring activities, no future cash flows have been assumed as the assets will cease to be used and expected sale values are nominal.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Leases The Company leases its store locations and vehicles under operating leases. The store lease terms, including rental period, renewal options, escalation clauses and rent as a percentage of sales, vary among the leases. Most store leases require the Company to pay real estate taxes and common area maintenance charges. In addition, we have lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components. We have elected to combine lease and non-lease components for all classes of assets. Maturities of our lease liabilities as of May 4, 2019 are as follows: (in thousands) Lease Liabilities (1) Remainder of 2019 $ 29,927 2020 31,734 2021 26,493 2022 23,080 2023 22,408 Thereafter 45,788 Total lease payments 179,430 Less: Imputed interest (31,159 ) Present value of lease liabilities 148,271 Less: Current lease liabilities (30,054 ) Long-term lease liabilities $ 118,217 (1) Includes retail stores and the corporate headquarters facility, including the distribution center. Maturities of our lease liabilities as of February 2, 2019 (under ASC 840, Leases ) were as follows: (in thousands) Lease Liabilities (1) 2019 $ 36,965 2020 25,887 2021 21,386 2022 18,439 2023 17,811 Thereafter 38,827 Total lease payments $ 159,315 (1) Includes retail stores and the corporate headquarters facility, including the distribution center. The weighted average remaining lease terms and discount rates for all leases as of May 4, 2019 were as follows: Remaining lease term and discount rate: May 4, 2019 Weighted average remaining lease term (years) 6.13 Weighted average discount rate 6.0 % Operating expense for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019 totaled approximately $10.3 million , with $0.4 million of that amount representing operating lease variable rent that was recorded in cost of sales. In addition, all but $32 thousand of the $9.9 million of non-variable operating lease rent is included in cost of sales. $32 thousand of operating lease expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019 , cash lease payments were $10.1 million , and right of use assets obtained in exchange for lease liabilities were $2.1 million .

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Legal Proceedings	Legal Proceedings We are subject, from time to time, to various claims, lawsuits or actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. We accrue for loss contingencies associated with outstanding litigation or legal claims for which management has determined it is probable that a loss contingency exists and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If we determine an unfavorable outcome is not probable or reasonably estimable, we do not accrue a potential loss contingency. The ultimate resolution of legal matters can be inherently uncertain and, for some matters, we may be unable to predict the ultimate outcome, determine whether a liability has been incurred or make an estimate of the reasonably possible liability that could result from an unfavorable outcome because of these uncertainties. We do not, however, currently believe that the resolution of any pending matter will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Recently issued accounting pronouncements	Recently issued accounting pronouncements In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement - Disclosure Framework (Topic 820) . The updated guidance improves the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The updated guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the updated provisions. Recently adopted accounting pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The Company adopted the new standard, ASC 842, Leases , and all related amendments on February 3, 2019 using the "Comparatives Under 840 Option" for all leases in which we applied the previous standard, ASC 840, Leases , and recognized the effects of applying ASC 842 as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of February 3, 2019. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carryforward the historical lease classification. In addition, we elected certain practical expedients and accounting policies including the lessee practical expedient to not separate lease components. We made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. We recognize those lease payments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Adoption of the standard resulted in the recognition of operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities of $134.9 million and $153.9 million , respectively, as of February 3, 2019. The operating lease asset recorded at adoption of the standard represents the capitalization of operating lease assets and the reclassification of prepaid rent and leasehold acquisition costs, offset by the reclassification of straight-line rent accruals, tenant improvement allowances and vacant space reserves. At adoption, we recorded an adjustment to retained earnings of $3.3 million , which includes the recognition of the deferred gain on the sale-leaseback transaction of our corporate headquarters facility. Additional information and disclosures required by the new standard are contained in Note 9 - Leases . In August 2018, the SEC adopted a final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification that amends certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. The amendments also expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of shareholders' equity for interim financial statements, in which registrants must now analyze changes in shareholders’ equity, in the form of reconciliation, for the current and comparative year-to-date periods, with subtotals for each interim period. This final rule was effective on November 5, 2018. As of the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, the Company has adopted all relevant disclosure requirements, including the shareholders’ equity interim disclosures. We reviewed all other significant newly-issued accounting pronouncements and concluded they are either not applicable to our operations or that no material effect is expected on our consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.
Revenue	Private label credit card The Company offers a private label credit card ("PLCC") which bears the Christopher and Banks brand name offered under an agreement with Comenity Bank. Pursuant to this agreement, there are several obligations on behalf of Comenity Bank that impact the recording of revenue. As part of the agreement, the Company received a signing bonus. We have determined that the benefits associated with signing the agreement are recognized over time throughout its term. This is the most accurate depiction of the transfer of services as the customer receives and consumes the benefits by obtaining and having the ability to use financing through Comenity Bank for purchases within our brick and mortar and eCommerce sales channels throughout the agreement's term. The Company records revenue associated with royalties received for purchases made using the PLCC. Royalty revenue is recognized based on the total amount to which we have a right to invoice in accordance with the practical expedient included in ASC 606. Accordingly, royalty revenue is recognized in the period in which the related purchases are recognized. The Company receives a performance bonus based on the total amount of new PLCC accounts that are opened during the year. We have determined that this is a form of variable consideration. Variable consideration is recorded if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of revenue under the contract will not occur. Revenue Merchandise sales We sell merchandise through our brick and mortar and eCommerce sales channels. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised merchandise is transferred to our customers. Within our brick and mortar sales channel, control is transferred at the point of sale. Within our eCommerce sales channel, control is transferred upon delivery of the merchandise to our customers. Shipping revenues associated with the eCommerce channel are recognized upon the completion of the delivery. The revenue recorded reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for our merchandise. The Company has elected, as an accounting policy, to exclude from the transaction price all taxes assessed by governmental authorities imposed on merchandise sales. Right of return As part of our merchandise sales, we offer customers a right of return on merchandise that lapses based on the original purchase date. The Company estimates the amount of sales that may be returned by our customers and records this estimate as a reduction of revenue in the period in which the related revenues are recognized. We utilize historical and industry data to estimate the total return liability. Conversely, the reduction in revenue results in a corresponding reduction in merchandise, buying and occupancy costs which results in a contract asset for the anticipated merchandise returned. Friendship rewards program The Company established the Friendship Rewards Program as a loyalty program where customers earn points towards future discount certificates based on their purchase activity. We have identified the additional benefits received from this program as a separate performance obligation within a sales contract in the form of the discount certificates earned by customers. Accordingly, we assess any incremental discounts issued to our customers through the program and allocate a portion of the transaction price associated with merchandise sales from loyalty program members to the future discounts earned. The transaction price allocated to future discounts is recorded as deferred revenue until the discounts are used or forfeited. In addition, the Company estimates breakage on the points earned within the program that will not be used by customers for future discounts. The Company estimates breakage based on the historical redemption rate and considers industry trends. Breakage is recorded as a reduction to the deferred revenue associated with the program. Gift card revenue The Company sells gift cards to customers which can be redeemed for merchandise within our brick and mortar and eCommerce sales channels. Gift cards are recorded as deferred revenue when issued and are subsequently recorded as revenue upon redemption. The Company estimates breakage related to gift cards when the likelihood of redemption is remote. This estimate utilizes historical trends based on the vintage of the gift card. Breakage on gift cards is recorded as revenue in proportion to the rate of gift card redemptions by vintage. This represents a change in the methodology used to estimate breakage as, prior to the adoption of ASC 606, we had historically recognized breakage for the portion of the gift card balances that remained outstanding following 36 months of issuance.
