Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events Victoria's Secret & Co. Spin-Off On August 2, 2021, after the NYSE market closing, the Separation of Victoria's Secret & Co. into an independent publicly-traded company was completed and the Company transferred certain assets and liabilities associated with its Victoria's Secret business to Victoria's Secret & Co. The Separation was achieved through the Company's distribution of 100% of the shares of Victoria's Secret & Co. common stock to holders of L Brands' common stock as of the close of business on the record date of July 22, 2021. The Company's stockholders of record received one share of Victoria’s Secret & Co. common stock for every three shares of the Company's common stock. On August 3, 2021, Victoria’s Secret & Co. began trading on the NYSE under the stock symbol "VSCO." The Company retained no ownership interest in Victoria’s Secret & Co. following the Separation. Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the historical financial results of the Victoria's Secret business for periods prior to the Distribution Date will be reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations. On August 2, 2021, Victoria's Secret & Co. made cash payments of approximately $976 million to the Company in connection with the Separation. Additionally, the Victoria's Secret & Co. Notes became the obligations of Victoria's Secret & Co. concurrent with the Separation. Corporate Name Change On August 2, 2021, in connection with the Separation of the Victoria's Secret business discussed above, the Company changed its name from L Brands, Inc. to Bath & Body Works, Inc. Starting August 3, 2021, the Company's common stock began trading under the stock symbol "BBWI." Leadership Changes As previously announced, the Company appointed Wendy C. Arlin as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective August 2, 2021. Stuart B. Burgdoerfer retired and ceased serving as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective August 2, 2021.
