For all of you Brighten Collectable lovers, here is the story of how it started. A couple of high school sweethearts, Terri and Jerry, in the late 60's from San Gabriel started their own business while in high school. It was a t-shirt and belt business and they started working part time and then full time after graduating high school.

Meanwhile there was another couple who had a business sellling purses, belts and shoes. They wanted to move to New Zealand so they met Terri and jerry who bought their business and turned it into a multi million dollar business. In 1985, they named it Brighton Collectables and they have stores all over the United States now. Their business began to grow and they added all types of accessories to their line. In 1998, they opened their first Brighton Collectables store at the Dallas Galleria and it was an immediate success. They now have over 160 exclusive Brighton Stores.

Author's Comments: I have always loved hearts and Brighton's logo and design is a heart so once I found Brighton, it has always been my favorite for handbags, shoes, jewelry, wallets, charms, sunglasses, picture frames and more.......Stop in at your local Brighton and you will fall in love too. They even have stores at the major airports now so what a great thing to do while waiting for a connecting flight.

Hi Sharon,

I loved reading the story of how they started on a shoestring and have become so successful and one of women's basic staples.

Hi Endre,

I learned a long time ago that if you save every nickel that work becomes monotonous so I always treat myself to a handbag when I sell a house. It gives me something to look forward to.

Hi Kathy,

I agree and feel people who work hard usually get ahead and make it like they did. I think a lot of us girls like hearts so Brighton knew how to capture ours.

Hi Tony & Darcy,

I agree and it seems to make it more special when you work for it rather than being handed it through the riches of your family. But of course, the family probably worked hard so the kids wouldn't struggle but I really liked this story. It touched my heartstrings.

Brighton's looks like a creative whimsical place to find unusual items to accent your wardrobe.  I love places like that!

Hi Myrl,

Brighton is a fantastic place to shop. I am sure you have a lot of them up in Sacramento too. We have an outlet store in Cabizon which is near Palm Springs and we can get 20-70% off on items.

Barbara-Jo,

Dunedin and Tarpon Springs, Florida have 3 stores within 4-5 miles of Crystal Springs, Fl. These are stores that carry Brighton but not Brighton exclusive store. The closest big stores are in Tampa. I think one is at the airport. I see Brighton when I fly into most big airports and gives me something to do while waiting for a connecting flight. I love Brighton. I bet you have seen it and just didn't know what brand it was. They did start on the West Coast but are now all over the country and in 23 places they sell in Canada too. I just noticed they have a store called knickerbockers in Victoria and I am going there in August so I might have to look them up. If you go to the Brighton locator, they will give you the store names.
