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) that 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 2019 presentation. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 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, 2018 included in the Annual Report of Steven Madden, Ltd. on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2019.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Significant areas involving management estimates include variable consideration included in revenue, allowances for bad debts, inventory valuation, valuation of intangible assets, litigation reserves and contingent payment liabilities. The Company estimates variable consideration 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, 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). Amortization of premiums and discounts is included in interest income. These securities are classified as current and non-current marketable securities based upon their maturities. As of September 30, 2019, all bonds previously held by the Company reached maturity. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the amortization of bond premiums totaled $0 and $218 compared to $175 and $557, 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is as follows:
| Maturities as of September 30, 2019 |  | Maturities as of December 31, 2018
| 1 Year or Less |  | 1 to 4 Years |  | 1 Year or Less |  | 1 to 4 Years
Corporate bonds | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 24,617 |  |  | $ | — |
Certificates of deposit | 27,452 |  |  | — |  |  | 42,351 |  |  | — |
Total | $ | 27,452 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 66,968 |  |  | $ | — |
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, losses of $0 and $5 were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in interest and other income compared to losses of $0 and $182 for the comparable periods in 2018. As of September 30, 2019, there were no unrealized gains or losses, as all bonds previously held by the Company reached maturity. For the comparable period in 2018, current marketable securities included unrealized losses of $113 and no non-current marketable securities were held by the Company.
