Handbagista

Brighton Leather Handbags are a relatively new brand in the accessories market, but since its start, the Brighton company has developed quite a reputation for itself as a fine manufacturer of handbags.

Brighton handbags are known for their everyday classic styles and their excellent craftsmanship. Whether you’re buying Brighton leather handbags at an outlet online or in one of their many brick and mortar distributors, you can be sure that you will be pleased with your selection.

The first Brighton products were actually not handbags, however.

Brighton first specialized in belts. This collection was started in 1991, but the company quickly diversified to meet the full needs of the clothing accessories market. It was only two years later, in 1993, that Brighton leather handbags hit the market.

Next, smaller leather goods arrived, with watches, fragrance, shoes, eyewear, jewelry, and even house wares following with success after success. Brighton even branched out to men’s goods, such as leather accessories like belts and wallets.

Today, the company specializes in uniquely designed Brighton leather handbags and other products. Despite their distinctiveness, though, these products all coordinate together, allowing a man or woman to fill their entire armoire and closet with matching Brighton clothes and accessories.

For instance, a Brighton woman could find a purse to match her shoes, or a tennis bracelet to match her lipstick case, while her husband’s watch and belt could be in perfect synchronicity.

Despite their enormous success, Brighton does not quit trying to improve and expand their offerings. They travel the world over in search of new traditional and exotic styles and fabrics, colors and combinations, to pass onto their customers.

When you are trying to produce the finest affordable accessories on the market, you can’t leave any stone unturned in your search of innovation and creativity.

Their excellent selection already available can be found at 6,000 boutiques around the United States, along with 50 stores stocked exclusively with Brighton products.

This includes the classic Brighton handbags, such as the romantic, straw, novelty, and contemporary lines and Alesha, Sharon, and Dolores models. Each style offers a bag that could suit any woman’s discerning tastes, as well as her discerning budget, too.

No matter if you live on the East Coast or the Left Coast, in the Heartland or the Sun Belt, there are Brighton leather handbags that cover today’s fashion, yesterdays classics, and tomorrow’s hits.

Brighton Handbags, or more specifically Brighton has made a name for itself as the go-to place when you want all of your accessories to be matchy-matchy.

Tired of buying shoes or purses that you can’t seem to coordinate with anything else in your closet?  If you obsess about your accessories coordinating, then you need to look to Brighton Accessories to match with your Brighton handbags.

Brighton offers collections that will let you buy coordinating belts, handbags, shoes, jewelry, you name it.  If it’s an accessory, then Brighton probably has a collection for it.

Jerry Kohl started the Brighton Accessories line in 1991 with a line of belts.  In 1993, he added Brighton handbags, luckily for us handbag addicts.  Kohl started his foray into the accessory world back in 1972 when he formed a partnership with a husband and wife team, Lee and Ginny, who sold leather goods out of Redondo Beach.

Kohl was interested in improving their deliveries and learning more about the leather industry.

Lee and Ginny dreamed of moving to New Zealand.  And so, their partnership was formed.

Brighton Accessories is just one successful division of Leegin Creative Leather Products.  Brighton Accessories is based in City of Industry, California and employs over 600 people.  Yes, I did write “City of Industry.”

That is a real name of a city in California.  I’m not making that up. (I know what you’re thinking - If only I could find a “City of Handbags.”)

Well, Brighton products are practically a city unto their selves.

You’ll find Brighton handbags in over 6,000 specialty stores and 50 only-Brighton stores nation wide.  You won’t find Brighton in department stores and you won’t find their handbags sold on the Internet unless the store offering handbags online also has a brick and mortar storefront.

This is because owner and president, Jerry Kohl, feels it’s important to support all those retailers who have supported him in the past almost 15 years.

Brighton’s handbags collections are diverse, appealing to a wide range of handbag buyers.  They have over 100 different collections available.

Brighton handbags are offered in a wide range of finishes from fine leather, to woven materials, and novelty prints.

Have you been looking for a tote with a furry kitty on the front?  Look no more.  Brighton offers handbags in fine Italian leather with croco patterns as well as in soft leather in all the latest fashion colors (ocean blue, lime, orange, red).

Diversity really can’t be stressed enough here.  You won’t be able to pigeon hole Brighton handbags into any one style.

The materials used will dictate the suggested retail pricing of Brighton handbags.  A tote made out of material can run $130.  Large leather handbags retail $180 to $260.  If you have dreamed of having your accessories match, dream no more.
