Nearly every woman has handbags that she no longer carries. Look in your closet, gather up gently used bags you no longer use and bring them to a participating Brighton Collectibles store between July 15th and 24th, 2016 to receive up to $50 off a brand new Brighton bag. Any manufacturer's handbags can be donated to qualify for the savings. To find a participating Brighton Collectibles store near you visit http://www.brighton.com

As Brighton's owner and founder Jerry Kohl explains, "The simple gift of a handbag can do so much to lift a woman's spirits. It will also help her to look professional when she is interviewing for a much-needed job."

Handbag Trade-In is just one of many charitable initiatives Brighton is involved in each year. As a part of Brighton Cares, Brighton has donated $9.5 million to charitable organizations including the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Soles4Souls, Little Kids Rock, Dress for Success, and other local charities helping women to re-enter the workplace.

For 41 years, Brighton has focused on custom design and craftsmanship, creating timeless accessories from the finest leathers. They have always believed in giving back to the communities surrounding their 175 stores and they are grateful to their loyal customers who participate and help them as they strive to continue making a positive difference in communities throughout the U.S.
