Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Reporting	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 2019 presentation and to reflect the three-for-two stock split (see Note B ). The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 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 [Abstract]
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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.

Due To and From Factor [Abstract]
Due To And From Factor	Factor Receivable The Company has a collection agency agreement with Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. (“Rosenthal”). The agreement can be terminated by the Company or Rosenthal at any time upon 60 days prior written notice. Under the agreement, the Company can request advances from Rosenthal of up to 85% of aggregate receivables submitted to Rosenthal. The agreement provides the Company with a $30,000 credit facility with a $15,000 sub-limit for letters of credit at an interest rate based, at the Company’s election, upon a calculation that utilizes either the prime rate minus 0.5% or LIBOR plus 2.5% . As of March 31, 2019 and 2018 , no borrowings were outstanding under the credit facility and there were no open letters of credit. The Company also pays Rosenthal a fee based on a percentage of the gross invoice amount submitted to Rosenthal. With respect to receivables related to our private label business, the fee is 0.14% of the gross invoice amount. With respect to all other receivables, the fee is 0.20% of the gross invoice amount. Rosenthal assumes the credit risk on a substantial portion of the receivables that the Company submits to it and, to the extent of any loans made to the Company, Rosenthal maintains a lien on the Company’s receivables to secure the Company’s obligations.

Marketable Securities [Abstract]
Marketable Securities	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, 2019 and 2018 , the amortization of bond premiums totaled $130 and $199 , 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, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is as follows: Maturities as of Maturities as of 1 Year or Less 1 to 4 Years 1 Year or Less 1 to 4 Years Corporate bonds $ 18,182 $ — $ 24,617 $ — Certificates of deposit 43,201 — 42,351 — Total $ 61,383 $ — $ 66,968 $ — For the three months ended March 31, 2019 , losses of $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 $133 for the comparable period in 2018 . For the three months ended March 31, 2019 , current marketable securities included unrealized losses of $35 and no non-current marketable securities were held by the Company. For the comparable period in 2018 , current marketable securities included unrealized losses of $82 while non-current marketable securities included unrealized losses of $118 .

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurement	Fair Value Measurement The accounting guidance under Accounting Standards Codification 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”) requires the Company to make disclosures about the fair value of certain of its assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. ASC 820-10 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. A brief description of those three levels is as follows: • Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. • Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows: March 31, 2019 Fair Value Measurements Fair value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Cash equivalents $ 60,484 $ 60,484 $ — $ — Current marketable securities – available for sale 61,383 61,383 — — Forward contracts 454 — 454 — Total assets $ 122,321 $ 121,867 $ 454 $ — December 31, 2018 Fair Value Measurements Fair value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Cash equivalents $ 77,050 $ 77,050 $ — $ — Current marketable securities – available for sale 66,968 66,968 — — Forward contracts 707 — 707 — Total assets $ 144,725 $ 144,018 $ 707 $ — Liabilities: Contingent consideration $ 3,000 $ — $ — $ 3,000 Total liabilities $ 3,000 $ — $ — $ 3,000 Our level 3 balance consists of contingent consideration related to an acquisition. The changes in our level 3 liabilities for the periods ended March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows: Balance at January 1, Payments Acquisitions Change in estimate Balance at March 31, 2019 Liabilities: Contingent consideration $ 3,000 — — (3,000 ) $ — Balance at January 1, Payments Acquisitions Change in estimate Balance at December 31, 2018 Liabilities: Contingent consideration $ 10,000 (7,000 ) — — $ 3,000 Forward contracts are entered into to manage the risk associated with the volatility of future cash flows (see Note M - Derivative Instruments). Fair value of these instruments is based on observable market transactions of spot and forward rates. The Company recorded a liability for potential contingent consideration in connection with the January 30, 2017 acquisition of Schwartz & Benjamin. Pursuant to the terms of an earn-out provision contained in the equity purchase agreement, as amended, between the Company and the sellers of Schwartz & Benjamin, earn-out payments are based on the performance of certain specified license agreements. The fair value of the contingent payments was estimated using the present value of the payments based on management’s projections of the financial results of Schwartz & Benjamin during the earn-out period. An earn-out payment in the aggregate amount of $7,000 was paid to the sellers of Schwartz & Benjamin in the first quarter of 2018, leaving a remaining balance of $3,000 at December 31, 2018 , which, in the first quarter of 2019, the Company reversed because it will not need to pay based on the termination of the Kate Spade license agreement, which will occur by the end of the current fiscal year. Accounting guidance permits entities to choose to measure financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The accounting guidance also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that chose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The Company has elected not to measure any eligible items at fair value. The carrying value of certain financial instruments such as accounts receivable, factor accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of their underlying terms. The fair values of investments in marketable securities available for sale are determined by reference to publicly quoted prices in an active market. Fair value of the notes receivable held by the Company approximates their carrying value based upon their imputed or actual interest rate, which approximates applicable current market interest rates.

Leases [Abstract]
Lessee, Operating Leases [Text Block]	– Leases During the first quarter 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires leases with durations greater than twelve months to be recognized on the balance sheet. The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach with an effective date as of January 1, 2019. The Company did not apply the new standard to comparative periods and therefore, those amounts are not presented below. The Company elected the package of three practical expedients. As such, the Company did not reassess whether expired or existing contracts are or contain a lease and did not need to reassess the lease classifications or reassess the initial direct costs associated with expired or existing leases. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient and the land easement practical expedient, neither of which are applicable to the Company. Also, the Company has elected to take the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all asset classes. The Company leases office space, sample production space, warehouses, showrooms, storage, and retail stores under operating leases. The Company’s portfolio of leases is primarily related to real estate and since most our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate, the Company estimated its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. Lease Position The table below presents the lease-related assets and liabilities recorded on the balance sheet as of the quarter ended March 31, 2019 : Classification on the Balance Sheet March 31, 2019 Assets Noncurrent Operating lease right-of-use asset $ 181,896 Liabilities Current Operating leases - current portion $ 37,696 Noncurrent Operating leases - long-term portion 158,102 Total operating lease liabilities $ 195,798 Weighted-average remaining lease term (in years) 6 Weighted-average discount rate (1) 4.4 % (1) Upon adoption of the new lease standard, discount rates used for existing leases were established at January 1, 2019.

Equity [Abstract]
Share Repurchase Program [Text Block]	Share Repurchase Program The Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”), effective as of January 1, 2004. The Share Repurchase Program does not have a fixed expiration or termination date and may be modified or terminated by the Board of Directors at any time. On several occasions the Board of Directors has increased the amount authorized for repurchase of the Company's common stock. The Share Repurchase Program permits the Company to effect repurchases from time to time through a combination of open market repurchases or in privately negotiated transactions at such prices and times as are determined to be in the best interest of the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , an aggregate of 458,143 shares of the Company's common stock were repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program, at a weighted average price per share of $32.65 , for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $14,960 . As of March 31, 2019 , approximately $75,982 remained available for future repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on April 24, 2019, the Board of Directors approved the extension of the Company's Share Repurchase Program for up to $200,000 in repurchases of the Company's common stock, which includes the amount remaining under the prior authorization. The Steven Madden, Ltd. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan provides the Company with the right to deduct or withhold, or require employees to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligations applicable to stock-based compensation awards. To the extent permitted, employees may elect to satisfy all or part of such withholding obligations by tendering to the Company previously owned shares or by having the Company withhold shares having a fair market value equal to the employee's withholding tax obligation. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , an aggregate of 67,348 shares were withheld in connection with the settlement of vested restricted stock to satisfy tax withholding requirements, at an average price per share of $32.57 , for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2,194 .

Net Income Per Share of Common Stock [Abstract]
Net Income Per Share of Common Stock	Net Income Per Share of Common Stock Basic net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, which does not include unvested restricted common stock subject to forfeiture of 5,455,000 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , compared to 5,925,000 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . Diluted net income per share reflects: (a) the potential dilution assuming shares of common stock were issued upon the exercise of outstanding in-the-money options and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period, and (b) the vesting of granted non-vested restricted stock awards for which the assumed proceeds upon vesting are deemed to be the amount of compensation cost not yet recognized attributable to future services using the treasury stock method, to the extent dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 , options to purchase approximately 65,000 shares of common stock have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share as compared to approximately 32,000 shares that were excluded for the three months ended March 31, 2018 , as the result would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , all unvested restricted stock awards were dilutive.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	Note J – Income Taxes The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate, plus or minus discrete items. The following table presents the provision for income taxes and the effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 : Three months ended March 31, 2019 2018 Income before provision for income taxes $ 45,852 $ 37,154 Provision for income taxes $ 10,587 $ 7,956 Effective tax rate 23.1 % 21.4 % The primary differences between the Company’s effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 are due to an increase in the disallowed executive compensation deduction, an increase in 2019 pre-tax income in jurisdictions with high tax rates, and a partially offsetting decrease in the amount of Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") tax incurred. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain income tax positions in income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits and interest and penalty expense was immaterial to the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. The unrecognized tax benefits have not materially changed for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S., for federal, state, and local purposes, and in certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company's tax years 2015 through 2018 remain open to examination by most taxing authorities. During 2017, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service completed its audit of the Company's 2014 U.S. income tax return.

Stock-Based Compensation	Equity-Based Compensation In March 2006, the Company's Board of Directors approved the Steven Madden, Ltd. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2006 Plan”), under which nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted stock, other stock-based awards and performance-based cash awards may be granted to employees, consultants and non-employee directors. The Company's stockholders approved the 2006 Plan as well as successive amendments of the 2006 Plan, most recently on May 25, 2012. On February 25, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Steven Madden, Ltd. 2019 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2019 Plan”), subject to stockholder approval. If approved by the stockholders at the Company’s 2019 annual meeting, the 2019 Plan will become effective as of the date of its approval by the Board. If approved, the 2019 Plan will be a successor to the 2006 Plan, the term of which is set to expire on April 6, 2019. The following table summarizes the number of shares of common stock authorized for use under the 2006 Plan, the number of stock-based awards granted (net of expired or cancelled awards) under the 2006 Plan and the number of shares of common stock available for the grant of stock-based awards under the 2006 Plan: Common stock authorized 35,199,000 Stock-based awards, including restricted stock and stock options granted, net of expired or cancelled (35,132,379 ) Common stock available for grant of stock-based awards as of March 31, 2019 66,621 Total equity-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Restricted stock $ 4,617 $ 3,926 Stock options 1,054 967 Total $ 5,671 $ 4,893 Equity-based compensation is included in operating expenses on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 , options to purchase approximately 486,528 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $24.40 vested. As of March 31, 2019 , there were unvested options relating to 1,279,150 shares of common stock outstanding with a total of $7,070 of unrecognized compensation cost and an average vesting period of 2.5 years . The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of options granted, which requires several assumptions. The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on the historical experience of similar awards. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The dividend yield is based on the Company's annualized dividend per share amount divided by the Company's stock price. The following weighted average assumptions were used for stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 : 2019 2018 Volatility 32.4% to 33.4% 26.0% to 26.3% Risk free interest rate 2.4% to 2.5% 2.1% to 2.5% Expected life in years 3.0 to 5.0 3.0 to 5.0 Dividend yield 1.7% 1.8% Weighted average fair value $7.88 $6.15 Activity relating to stock options granted under the Company’s plans and outside the plans during the three months ended March 31, 2019 is as follows: Number of Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding at January 1, 2019 2,815,000 $ 26.03 Granted 32,000 32.29 Exercised (32,000 ) 22.75 Forfeited — — Outstanding at March 31, 2019 2,815,000 $ 26.14 4.5 years $ 21,687 Exercisable at March 31, 2019 1,536,000 $ 25.65 3.9 years $ 12,583 Restricted Stock The following table summarizes restricted stock activity during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 : 2019 2018 Number of Shares Weighted Average Fair Value at Grant Date Number of Shares Weighted Average Fair Value at Grant Date Outstanding at January 1, 5,135,000 $ 18.42 5,874,000 $ 17.37 Granted 518,000 32.45 240,000 30.25 Vested (187,000 ) 25.09 (180,000 ) 23.01 Forfeited (11,000 ) 28.19 (9,000 ) 25.10 Outstanding at March 31, 5,455,000 $ 19.48 5,925,000 $ 17.71 As of March 31, 2019 , the Company had $65,537 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards granted under the 2006 Plan. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average of 4.5 years. The Company determines the fair value of its restricted stock awards based on the market price of its common stock on the date of grant. On March 25, 2019, pursuant to an amendment of the employment agreement between the Company and its Creative and Design Chief, Steven Madden, which effected the extension of the term of the agreement for three years through December 31, 2026, Mr. Madden was granted 200,000 restricted shares of the Company's common stock. The restricted stock award will vest in three nearly equal annual installments commencing on December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2019 , Mr. Madden has options unexercised for 731,250 shares of the Company's common stock and 4,134,238 restricted shares of the Company's common stock.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract]
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards [Abstract]	Note P – Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 ("ASU 2016-02"), "Leases," as amended, which is effective January 1, 2019. Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize for all leases with terms longer than twelve months, at the commencement date of the lease, a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease measured on a discounted basis, and a right-to-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use or control the use of a specified asset for the lease term. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. The Company adopted the new standard on the effective date January 1, 2019. A modified retrospective transition approach was used, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. The Company applied ASC-840, including disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods in the year the Company adopted the new guidance. (See Note G - Leases) In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-02 ("ASU 2018-02"), "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," which allows for stranded tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to be reclassified to retained earnings. ASU 2018-02 is effective January 1, 2019 and did not have any significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Not Yet Adopted In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-15, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Topic 350): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract.” This new guidance aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. This new guidance is effective for the Company on a prospective or retrospective basis beginning on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. While the Company is currently assessing the impact of the new guidance, it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” This new guidance removes certain disclosure requirements related to the fair value hierarchy, modifies existing disclosure requirements related to measurement uncertainty and adds new disclosure requirements. The new disclosure requirements include disclosing the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. This new guidance is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Certain disclosures in the new guidance will need to be applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis. While the Company is currently assessing the impact of the new guidance, it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 ("ASU 2016-13"), "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the new guidance will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

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 2019 presentation and to reflect the three-for-two stock split (see Note B ). The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 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). 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, 2019 and 2018 , the amortization of bond premiums totaled $130 and $199 , 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, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is as follows: Maturities as of Maturities as of 1 Year or Less 1 to 4 Years 1 Year or Less 1 to 4 Years Corporate bonds $ 18,182 $ — $ 24,617 $ — Certificates of deposit 43,201 — 42,351 — Total $ 61,383 $ — $ 66,968 $ — For the three months ended March 31, 2019 , losses of $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 $133 for the comparable period in 2018 . For the three months ended March 31, 2019 , current marketable securities included unrealized losses of $35 and no non-current marketable securities were held by the Company. For the comparable period in 2018 , current marketable securities included unrealized losses of $82 while non-current marketable securities included unrealized losses of $118 .
