Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	Our two reportable segments, which are also operating segments, are the DSW segment, which includes DSW stores and dsw.com, and the ABG segment. Other primarily includes Ebuys and our investment in Town Shoes. The performance of each segment is based on gross profit, which is defined as net sales less cost of sales. We have determined that the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is our Chief Executive Officer and we have identified such segments based on internal management reporting and responsibilities.

Our two reportable segments, which are also operating segments, are the DSW segment, which includes DSW stores and dsw.com, and the ABG segment. Other primarily includes Ebuys and our investment in Town Shoes. The performance of each segment is based on gross profit, which is defined as net sales less cost of sales. We have determined that the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is our Chief Executive Officer and we have identified such segments based on internal management reporting and responsibilities.
