History
[edit]The concept for Brighton began when founders Terri Kravitz and Jerry Kohl opened a specialty retail store. In 1991, Kravitz and Kohl launched Brighton Collectibles with a single collection of belts. Over the years, Brighton has expanded their range of products to include a line of coordinating accessories and footwear. Luggage and home accessories are included in Brighton's home line.[1]
Brighton is headquartered in the City of Industry, California, and is a division of Leegin Creative Leather Products, also based in the City of Industry. 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] As of February 2020, the company reports Brighton jewelry being made in Taiwan. Brighton footwear is made in Brazil, Italy and India while Brighton handbags are manufactured in China.[citation needed]
They started an initiative that comes out annually in October to benefit local breast cancer charities named the "Power of Pink" bracelet.[citation needed]
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..
