David's Bridal x Carlos Falchi: The Exclusive Collab Redefining Bridal Accessories

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.

In this episode:

• How Carlos Falchi got its start selling handmade bags in Washington Square Park
• The Miles Davis story (yes, really)
• Why no two Carlos Falchi bags are exactly alike
• The new exclusive bridal collection available at David's Bridal and Diamonds & Pearls stores
• Advice for young designers: pick your battle
