About Steven Madden

Steven Madden designs, makes and sells footwear, along with accessories and apparel, for women, men and children in the United States and abroad.

The company also reaches shoppers directly through its own full-price and outlet stores, shop-in-shops, and a set of branded e-commerce sites. On top of this, it licenses its trademarks to outside businesses and operates a first-cost unit that works as a buying agent for private-label footwear, serving national chains, specialty retailers and value-priced outlets.
