History

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.

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. Leegin has been manufacturing belts and other leather accessories at a California factory for over thirty years. Their plant employs over 600 people. Components for some of the products are manufactured in countries such as France, Italy, Spain, China, Taiwan, Korea and Japan. 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.

They started an initiative that comes out annually in October to benefit local breast cancer charities named the "Power of Pink" bracelet.

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..
