After splurging this spring on designer fashions, handbags and shoes, Neiman Marcus shoppers are tapping the brakes.

The Dallas-based luxury chain that owns Bergdorf Goodman said its quarterly profit surged 35 percent to $62.6 million as it logged an 8 percent increase in sales at stores open at least a year.

Total revenue rose 7.5 percent to $1.06 billion.

Nevertheless, said CEO Karen Katz, “We did experience a slowing in our momentum as the quarter progressed similar to other retailers.”

Neiman’s liabilities also worsened despite improved performance, as private-equity owners TPG and Warburg Pincus paid themselves a $442 million dividend this spring.

Katz also said Neiman Marcus is renaming all of its contemporary departments as “Cusp” — a brand that failed to get off the ground after its original launch in 2006 as a standalone store concept. Currently in six locations, Cusp will be expanded to all 42 Neiman Marcus stores, Katz said.
