in this episode of Love Stories Radio, host Lisa Horton, Chief Communications and Creative Officer at David's Bridal, sits down with Aisha Rawji, Founder and CEO of Kynah — David's Bridal's newest partner and the brand behind the official expansion into Indian bridal fashion.

Aisha traces Kynah's roots back to her mother's Indian clothing store in the 90s, why she left a career in ad tech at 25 to launch her own label, and how a pandemic-era partnership with acclaimed Indian designer Masaba Gupta turned Kynah into a home for more than 70 designers across India — dressing celebrities along the way. Lisa and Aisha dig into the craftsmanship behind the clothes (some hand-embroidered pieces take up to 100 hours to complete), the $130 billion global Indian wedding market and its growing influence on Western bridal trends, and why storytelling, individuality, and inclusivity sit at the center of every Kynah design.

They also share a first look at what's next: shoppable Kynah styles are live now at David's, with an exclusive 15-piece collaboration collection of Indian bridal and wedding-guest looks launching later this year.

In this episode of Love Stories Radio, David's Bridal Chief Communications and Creative Officer Lisa Horton sits down with Marcos Falchi, co-founder of the iconic leather goods brand Carlos Falchi, to talk about the new exclusive collection launching at David's Bridal — and the shared philosophy of craftsmanship that brought these two brands together.

Marcos traces the brand's origins from 1970s New York street fairs to celebrity clientele (Cher, Madonna, Michael Jackson) and explains why every Carlos Falchi bag is still made entirely by hand, one at a time. The conversation covers the evolution of luxury, why Gen Z is driving a return to individuality and quality, and how a bridal bag can become a family heirloom.

They also walk through the new exclusive evening collection — including the iconic Butterfly Bag, recently named by the New York Times as one of the 25 designs that changed fashion in the last 100 years — and discuss what personalization, craftsmanship, and the "factory to your home" model mean for today's bride.
