Brighton
What began as a belt company in 1991 has today become a unique accessories store with a dedicated, cult-like following. Brighton is known for distinctive, coordinating products that possess a decidedly whimsical twist. The company lives by its creed of “the difference is in the details” with Brighton designers still sketching by hand and hosts of artisans instilling the beauty of their creations. The company’s heart logo is a signature theme among many of its collections and is sometimes even hidden within the intricate designs. Brighton offers an unparalleled selection of handbags, jewelry, small leather goods, watches, fragrance, home accents, eyewear and luggage.
Handbags are one of Brighton’s most must-have accessories. From classic to contemporary, straw, leather and linen styles prevail but the ultimate delight lies within the details. The recognized Brighton touch of silver hardware scrolls, swirls, weaves and floral patterns add impact. Linings are lush with most featuring a custom Brighton print. Hearts, flowers and other nature-inspired accents are what make these bags stand out and appeal to various generations. Sister products just as loved are Brighton’s belts, wallets and shoes which come in a cheerful array of styles and perfectly coordinate with the handbags for the easiest of ensembles.
Sterling silver rings-and-things are another trademark of the Brighton fashion. The store’s vast and vibrant jewelry collections feature bangles, earrings, necklaces and rings that cast a brilliant shine offset by highly-crafted, oxidized designs. Some of the more decorated pieces feature genuine Swarovski crystals. Top-sellers include fanciful charms and beads, bringing a carefree style to these pieces. An extension of the jewelry line, Brighton has also corned the market on attractively-priced timepieces. Featuring elaborate silver clasps, accents and designs meshed with embossed crocodile leathers, these watches are a stylish steal at around $100 each.
Brighton’s big heart gives back across the board, having most recently donated more than $750,000 to fund freshwater wells through its “Love Water” program. As part of its “Dream Peace” initiative, $5 from the sale of each peace-themed charm bracelet goes toward your choice of four worldwide peace charities. Brighton has also donated more than $1 million to “Go Red for Women”, a powerful movement of the American Heart Association, and over $3.1 million to breast cancer research through The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, The City of Hope Cancer Center, Concern Foundation and Susan G. Komen Foundation.
As part of its “girlfriend marketing” approach, Brighton offers free e-cards on its site, allowing you to pick a pretty product-oriented theme and then customize the note touting your latest purchase or wish list find. The company’s Heartbeat Registration gives shoppers access to private trunk shows and exclusive deals, even an opportunity to receive “Shoe Fashionista” alerts-one surefire way to Brighton your day.
