Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Accounting, Policy | Basis of Reporting The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Steven Madden, Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain adjustments were made to prior years' amounts to conform to the 2018 presentation. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in the Annual Report of Steven Madden, Ltd. on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2018.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Significant areas involving management estimates include allowances for bad debts, returns and customer chargebacks, inventory valuation, valuation of intangible assets, litigation reserves and contingent payment liabilities. The Company provides reserves on trade accounts receivables and factor receivables for future customer chargebacks and markdown allowances, discounts, returns and other miscellaneous compliance-related deductions that relate to the current period sales. The Company evaluates anticipated chargebacks by reviewing several performance indicators of its major customers. These performance indicators, which include retailers’ inventory levels, sell-through rates and gross margin levels, are analyzed by management to estimate the amount of the anticipated customer allowance.
Marketable Securities, Available-for-sale Securities, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Marketable Securities Marketable securities consist primarily of certificates of deposit and corporate bonds with maturities greater than three months and up to four years at the time of purchase. These securities, which are classified as available-for-sale, are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of any tax effect, reported in stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). These securities are classified as current and non-current marketable securities based upon their maturities. Amortization of premiums and discounts is included in interest income. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the amortization of bond premiums totaled $199 and $308, respectively. The value of these securities may fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and credit risk. The schedule of maturities at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is as follows: Note D – Marketable Securities (continued)
| Maturities as of March 31, 2018 |  | Maturities as of December 31, 2017
| 1 Year or Less |  | 1 to 4 Years |  | 1 Year or Less |  | 1 to 4 Years
Corporate bonds | $ | 13,077 |  |  | $ | 20,507 |  |  | $ | 11,979 |  |  | $ | 29,523 |
Certificates of deposit | 41,592 |  |  | — |  |  | 52,048 |  |  | — |
Total | $ | 54,669 |  |  | $ | 20,507 |  |  | $ | 64,027 |  |  | $ | 29,523 |
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, losses of $133 were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized in the income statement in interest and other income compared to gains of $26 and losses of $6 for the comparable period in 2017. For the three month period ended March 31, 2018, current marketable securities included unrealized losses of $82 and long-term marketable securities included unrealized losses of $118. For the comparable period in 2017, current marketable securities included unrealized gains of $1 and unrealized losses of $208 while long-term marketable securities included unrealized gains of $109 and unrealized losses of $45.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Revenue Recognition Adoption of Accounting Standards Update, Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued new accounting guidance ("Topic 606"), Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 ("ASU 2014-09"), "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," on revenue recognition. The new standard is an update to Revenue Recognition Topic 605 and provides for a single five-step model to be applied to all revenue contracts with customers as well as requiring additional financial statement disclosures that will enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows relating to customer contracts. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the requirements of Topic 606 using the cumulative effect adjustment approach. The impacts to the financial statements of this adoption are primarily related to balance sheet classification, including amounts associated with the change in balance sheet classification of the sales returns reserves, with no significant impact to the income statement as the Company's existing revenue recognition policies are in line with Topic 606. The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations identified under the terms of contracts with its customers are satisfied, which generally occurs upon the transfer of control in accordance with the contractual terms and conditions of the sale. The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time when product is shipped to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods, which includes estimates for variable consideration. Variable consideration mainly includes markdown allowances, co-op advertising programs and product returns. The revenue recognition for the Company's segments are described below (see Note O for disaggregated revenue amounts by segment). Note F – Revenue Recognition (continued) A. Disaggregation of Revenue Wholesale Sales Segment. The Company generates revenue through the design, sourcing and sale of branded footwear and accessories to both domestic and international customers who in-turn sell the products to the consumer. The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations identified under the terms of contracts with its customers are satisfied, which occurs upon the transfer of control in accordance with the contractual terms and conditions of the sale. The Company's revenue associated with its branded footwear and accessories products is recognized at a point in time when product is shipped to the customer. The Company also generates revenue through the design, sourcing and sale of private-label footwear and accessories to both domestic and international customers who brand the products and sell them to the consumer. The Company's revenue associated with private label footwear and accessories products is recognized at a point in time when product is physically delivered to the customer's freight forwarder. Retail Segment. The Company owns and operates approximately 201 retail stores throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, South Africa, China and Taiwan, and six e-commerce sites. The Company generates revenue through the sale of branded footwear and accessories directly to the consumer. The Company's revenue associated with Retail sales is recognized at the time of the point of sale when the customer takes control of the goods and payment is received. First Cost Segment. The Company earns commissions for serving as a buying agent for footwear products under private labels for many of the large mass-market merchandisers, shoe chains and other mid-tier retailers. As a buying agent, the Company utilizes its expertise and relationships with shoe manufacturers to facilitate the production of private label shoes to customer specifications. The Company’s commission revenue also includes fees charged for its design, product and development services provided to certain suppliers. The Company satisfies its performance obligation to its customers by performing the services in buyer agency agreements and thereby earning its commission fee at the point in time when the customer’s freight forwarder takes control of the goods. The Company satisfies its performance obligation with the suppliers and earns its design fee from the factory at the point in time when the customer’s freight forwarder takes control of the goods. Licensing Segment. The Company licenses various trademarks it owns under licensing agreements for use in connection with the manufacture, marketing and sale of eyewear, outerwear, hosiery, activewear, sleepwear, jewelry, watches, hair accessories, umbrellas, bedding, luggage, men’s leather accessories, women's and children's apparel, swimwear, stationary and household goods. The license agreements require the licensee to pay the Company a royalty and, in substantially all of the agreements, an advertising fee, both of which are based on the higher of a minimum or a net sales percentage as defined in the various agreements. Licensing revenue is recognized on the basis of net sales reported by the licensees, or the minimum guaranteed royalties, if higher. In substantially all of the Company’s license agreements, the minimum guaranteed royalty is earned and receivable on a quarterly basis. The Company recognizes licensing revenue over the period of time in which the license is provided to the benefit of the licensee. B. Variable Consideration Markdown Allowances The Company provides markdown allowances to its retailer customers, which are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the period in which the branded footwear and accessories revenues are recognized. The Company estimates its markdown allowances by reviewing several performance indicators, including retailers' inventory levels, sell-through rates and gross margin levels. Co-op Advertising Programs Under co-op advertising programs, the Company agrees to reimburse the retailer for a portion of the costs incurred by the retailer to advertise and promote certain of the Company's products. The Company estimates the costs of co-op advertising programs based on the terms of the agreements with its retailer customers. Note F – Revenue Recognition (continued) Rights of Return The Company’s Retail segment does accept returns within 30 days from the date of sale for unworn merchandise which the Company is able to re-sell through the channel. The Company does not accept returns as a normal business practice from its branded and private label wholesale customers except for our cold weather accessories business and our Blondo and Kate Spade product lines. The Company estimates returns based on historical experience and current market conditions. Such amounts have historically not been material.

- Definition Disclosure of accounting policy for revenue recognition. If the entity has different policies for different types of revenue transactions, the policy for each material type of transaction is generally disclosed. If a sales transaction has multiple element arrangements (for example, delivery of multiple products, services or the rights to use assets) the disclosure may indicate the accounting policy for each unit of accounting as well as how units of accounting are determined and valued. The disclosure may encompass important judgment as to appropriateness of principles related to recognition of revenue. The disclosure also may indicate the entity's treatment of any unearned or deferred revenue that arises from the transaction. + References Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 235 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 4 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=84158767&loc=d3e18823-107790 Reference 2: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 605 -SubTopic 10 -Section S99 -Paragraph 1 -Subparagraph (SAB Topic 13.B.Q1) -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=65893310&loc=d3e214044-122780 Reference 3: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 235 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 3 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=84158767&loc=d3e18780-107790 Reference 4: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 235 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 1 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=84158767&loc=d3e18726-107790 + Details
