"Net sales for both our North American and International segments grew 55% and 54%, respectively, illustrating that our differentiated product resonates with consumers around the world. We have a clear vision of our customer and continue to design strong collections as we shape our fast-growing, global lifestyle brand." The accessory maker split its results into three segments -- Kate Spade North America, Kate Spade International and Adelington Design Group --with the first two reporting a more-than 50% increase in net sales. These gains were slightly offset by a $4 million, or 30.6% decline, in the company's Adelington Design Group, which recorded a $2 million decrease related to its Liz Claiborne New York brand as well as its private label jewelry businesses. Thanks to a direct-to-consumer comparable sales growth of 30%, Kate Spade is increasing its full year 2014 direct-to-consumer comparable sales growth forecast to a range of 15% to 17%.
