Our Design Philosophy: The Story Behind Bridle & Hearth
At Bridle & Hearth, we believe that true luxury comes from a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, heritage, and the beauty of nature. Our vision is to bring the elegance of equestrian life into your home with pieces that blend timeless artistry with modern sophistication. Founded by Rakesh and Dolly Agarwal, Bridle & Hearth is a celebration of their lifelong passion for design and a love of horses that has spanned decades.
A Legacy of Craftsmanship and Passion
Horses have always been a central part of the Agarwals’ lives. Growing up in rural India, they were surrounded by stories of Maharajas’ horses, creatures that symbolize power, poise, and prestige. This connection to horses was more than just symbolic; they were a crucial part of daily life, providing transportation and serving as companions to the people of their community.
After moving to the U.S. and building Rug & Home into a recognized name, the Agarwals found themselves living near the Tryon International Equestrian Center, a world-renowned hub of equestrian sport. Surrounded by the beauty and grandeur of the equestrian world, their passion for horses was reignited, inspiring them to create Bridle & Hearth—a brand that would bring the timeless elegance of equestrian living into everyday spaces.
Now, after years of preparation, teamwork, and meticulous craftsmanship, Bridle & Hearth is ready to open its doors to the public, allowing you to bring the elegance, charm, and passion of the equestrian lifestyle into your home.
The Inspiration Behind the Brand Name
Our brand name, Bridle & Hearth, is inspired by two powerful symbols—horses and home. The word “Bridle” comes from the equestrian world, symbolizing strength, direction, and the precision needed to guide horses. “Hearth,” on the other hand, represents the heart of the home—the place where warmth, love, and memories are created. Together, these words capture our mission to blend the timeless elegance of the equestrian lifestyle with the welcoming spirit of the home.
