History

The concept for Brighton began when founders Terri Kravitz and Jerry Kohl opened their first 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, along with luggage and home accessories in Brighton's home line. [2]

In 2003, they started an initiative that ran every October to benefit local breast cancer charities. They called this 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. . [3]
