Prospectus Supplement
To Prospectus dated January 29, 2016

L Brands, Inc.
$500,000,000
5.250% Senior Notes due 2028

We are offering $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.250% Senior Notes due 2028. We will pay interest on the notes on February 1 and
August 1 of each year, beginning August 1, 2018. The notes will mature on February 1, 2028.
We may redeem some or all of the notes at any time at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest
plus a "make-whole" premium. We may also redeem up to 35% of the notes using the proceeds of certain equity offerings completed before February 1, 2021.
If a change of control triggering event as defined in this prospectus supplement under the heading "Description of the Notes--Change of Control" occurs, we
may be required to offer to purchase the notes from the holders.
The notes will rank equally in right of payment with all our existing and future senior debt and rank senior to all our future subordinated debt, if
any. The notes will be guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries on a senior unsecured basis and will therefore rank senior to any series of our existing and
future senior unsecured notes that are not guaranteed by our subsidiaries to the extent of the value of the assets of such subsidiary guarantors. The notes and
the guarantees will rank effectively junior to all secured debt of ours and the guarantors to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt and will be
structurally subordinated to all debt of our subsidiaries that are not guaranteeing the notes.
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Currently, there is no public market for the notes.
Investing in the notes involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-12 of this prospectus supplement for a discussion of certain
risks that you should consider in connection with an investment in the notes.

Table of Contents
Our Strengths
We believe the following competitive strengths contribute to our leading market position, differentiate us from our competitors, and will drive
future growth:
Industry Leading Brands
We have developed and operate brands that have come to represent an aspirational lifestyle. Our brands allow us to target markets across the
economic spectrum, across demographics and across the world. We believe that our three flagship brands, Victoria's Secret, PINK and Bath & Body
Works, are highly recognizable which provides us with a competitive advantage.

· At Victoria's Secret, we market glamorous and sexy product lines to our customers. While bras and panties are the core of what we do,

this brand also gives our customers choices in beauty products, fragrances, loungewear, athletic attire and personal care accessories.

· At PINK, we market products to the college-aged woman. While bras and panties are the core of what we do, this brand also gives our

customers choices in apparel, loungewear, athletic attire, personal care accessories and swim.

· Bath & Body Works caters to our customers' entire well-being, providing shower gels and lotions, aromatherapy, home fragrance, soaps

and sanitizers and body care accessories.
In-Store Experience and Store Operations
We view our customers' in-store experience as an important vehicle for communicating the image of each brand. We utilize visual
presentation of merchandise, in-store marketing, music and our sales associates to reinforce the image represented by the brands.
Our in-store marketing is designed to convey the principal elements and personality of each brand. The store design, furniture, fixtures and
music are all carefully planned and coordinated to create a unique shopping experience. Every brand displays merchandise uniformly to ensure a
consistent store experience, regardless of location. Store managers receive detailed plans designating fixture and merchandise placement to ensure
coordinated execution of the company-wide merchandising strategy.
Our sales associates and managers are a central element in creating the atmosphere of the stores by providing a high level of customer service.
Product Development, Sourcing and Logistics
We believe a large part of our success comes from frequent and innovative product launches, which include bra launches at Victoria's Secret,
PINK and La Senza and new fragrance and product launches at Bath & Body Works. Our merchant, design and sourcing teams have a long history of
bringing innovative products to our customers. Additionally, we believe that our sourcing function (Mast Global) has a long and deep presence in the key
sourcing markets including those in the U.S. and Asia, which helps us partner with the best manufacturers to get high-quality products quickly.
Experienced and Committed Management Team
We were founded in 1963 and have been led since inception by Leslie H. Wexner. Our senior management team has a wealth of retail and
business experience at L Brands, Inc. and other companies such as Nike, Coach, The Gap, Inc., The Home Depot, Land's End, Levi Strauss, Boots and
Yum Brands. We believe that we have one of the most experienced management teams in retail.

Strategy
We have a multi-year goal to grow our business and increase operating margins for our brands by focusing on these key business priorities:

· Grow our business in North America;

· Extend our core brands internationally; and

· Focus on the fundamentals of our business including managing inventory, expenses and capital with discipline.
We also continue to focus on:

· Attracting and retaining top talent;

· Maintaining a strong cash and liquidity position while optimizing our capital structure; and

· Returning value to our shareholders.
The following is a discussion of certain of our key business priorities:
Grow Our Business in North America
Our first focus is on the substantial growth opportunity in North America.
In 2016, we announced strategic decisions within Victoria's Secret to evolve the business with the changing retail environment. To better
focus our resources on core merchandise categories, we decided to eliminate non-core categories including swim in our lingerie business, and apparel
items that were offered in our direct channel but not in stores. We believe the elimination of these categories will more closely align the stores and direct
channels, and will enable us to increase our focus on our core categories where we have bigger growth opportunities. Additionally, we substantially
reduced direct mail couponing and eliminated our catalogue circulation, instead focusing on brand building and loyalty-enhancing marketing. In fiscal
2017, Victoria's Secret square footage in North America will be about flat versus last year, and we will remodel about 80 stores. In our direct channel,
we have the infrastructure in place to support growth. We believe our direct channel is an important form of brand advertising given the ubiquitous
nature of the internet and our large customer file.
The core of Bath & Body Works is its body care, home fragrance products, soaps and sanitizers which together make up the majority of sales
and profits for the business. We see clear opportunities for substantial growth in these categories by focusing on product newness and innovation and
expanding into under-penetrated market and price segments. We also have an opportunity to expand by creating a Bath & Body Works and White Barn
shop-in-shop at many of our store locations. In fiscal 2017, we will increase our square footage at Bath & Body Works North America by about 3%
primarily through remodels of existing stores. Additionally, www.BathandBodyWorks.com continues to exhibit significant year-over-year growth.
Extend Our Core Brands Internationally
We believe there is substantial opportunity for international growth. We have separate, dedicated teams that have taken a methodical, "test and
learn" approach to expansion. We began our international expansion with the acquisition of La Senza at the beginning of 2007, and we've continued to
expand our presence outside of

S-3
Table of Contents
North America by opening company-owned stores, as well as increasing the number of stores operated by our international partners.

424B5
· Victoria's Secret International Stores--We have made significant progress in expanding Victoria's Secret internationally. In China, we
have a regional office with a management team with experience in growing global brands in the region. In fiscal 2017, we plan to open
six Victoria's Secret full-assortment stores in Greater China, with five of them having opened as of December 30, 2017. In fiscal 2017,
we plan to open three Victoria's Secret full-assortment and two PINK stores in the U.K., with two of each store having opened as of

December 30, 2017. We also opened our first Victoria's Secret full-assortment store in Ireland in December of 2017. Finally, our
partners opened seven Victoria's Secret full-assortment stores as of October 28, 2017 with notable openings in Poland, Russia, Turkey
and the Middle East, bringing the total to 30 Victoria's Secret full-assortment and five PINK stores. Our partners plan to open an
additional two Victoria's Secret full-assortment stores in the fourth quarter of 2017.

· Victoria's Secret Beauty and Accessories Stores--In 2017, our partners opened seven net new Victoria's Secret Beauty and Accessories
stores, bringing the total to 398 as of October 28, 2017. These stores are located in local markets, airports and tourist destinations, and

are focused on Victoria's Secret branded beauty and accessory products. Our partners plan to open an additional 11 to 16 Victoria's
Secret Beauty and Accessories stores in the fourth quarter of 2017.

· Bath & Body Works International Stores--In 2017, our partners opened 17 net new Bath & Body Works stores, bringing the total in the

Middle East, Latin America, Southeast Asia and Europe to 176 as of October 28, 2017. Our partners plan to open 15 to 20 additional
stores in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Focus on the Fundamentals of Our Business
We are focused on the fundamentals of our business which include our customers, core merchandise categories, inventory management, speed
and agility, and store selling and execution. In terms of speed and agility, we are focused on inventory discipline through lead-time reductions and
in-season agility to increase sales and reduce promotional activity. Finally, we continue to optimize our store selling and execution by concentrating on a
better store experience and developing and retaining talented, trained and productive store associates.
Recent Developments
On January 3, 2018, we called all of our outstanding 8.500% senior notes due 2019 (our "2019 notes") for redemption. The redemption date
will be February 2, 2018, and the redemption price will be equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed and
(b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the notes to be redeemed discounted to the redemption
date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable treasury rate, plus 50 basis points, plus
accrued interest thereon to the redemption date. We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand, to fund the redemption
of our 2019 notes. This prospectus supplement does not constitute a notice of redemption for our 2019 notes. The redemption of our 2019 notes is not
conditioned on the closing of this offering.
