Brighton Collectibles (Brighton) is an accessories manufacturer and retailer, with over 180[1] retail stores in the United States. Brighton products are also sold in more than 5,000 boutiques nationwide.[1]
The concept for Brighton began when Terri Kravitz and Jerry Kohl, high school sweethearts, opened a specialty retail store. In 1991, Terri and Jerry launched Brighton Collectibles with a single collection of belts. Over the years, Brighton has expanded their products to include a line of coordinating accessories and footwear. A customer might choose a lipstick case that matches a wallet, earrings that match a pair of sunglasses, a handbag that matches footwear, or an entire coordinating collection consisting of multiple accessories. Luggage, home accessories, engravable products and clothing are included in Brighton's product line.[citation needed]
Brighton is headquartered in the City of Industry, California, and is a division of Leegin Creative Leather Products, also based in City of Industry, CA. For more than 30 years, Leegin has been manufacturing belts and other leather accessories at a California factory that has expanded from a shop with five employees to a plant employing more than 600 people. Components for some of the products are manufactured in countries such as France, Italy, Spain, China, Taiwan, Korea and Japan.[2]
Every October, Brighton Collectibles comes out with their annual "Power of Pink" bracelet, which benefits local Breast Cancer charities.[3]
In 2007, the company won a case before the U.S. Supreme Court to allow price floors in Leegin Creative Leather Products, Inc. v. PSKS, Inc..
