The Brighton brand was founded by Jerry and Terri Kohl, who envisioned a different kind of company that would be built from the heart - focused on treating customers and employees the way they love to be treated. They launched Brighton in 1991 with a single collection of belts. Over the years, the collection has evolved into an extensive line of stylish products that accessorize women from head to toe.  Ketterman's started with Brighton in 1998 with a single display of "Bandit" bracelets.  That year at Christmastime, Tammi had each employee select a handbag and a pair of shoes to display in the store (so they could get them for Christmas if the didn't sell).  The employees did not receive Brighton that year under their trees, and now, nearly twenty years later, Brighton continues to outfit our family, staff, and customers with some of the finest fashion jewely and leathergoods available.
