The Art of Handcrafting: Behind the Scenes at CoriumSacs

At CoriumSacs, we don’t just create leather goods—we craft stories. Every product, whether it's a signature Smok-Pack, a custom guitar strap, or an exclusive reflective leather pouch, tells a tale of artistry, tradition, and a dash of rebellion. Our designs are bold, our materials are premium, and our craftsmanship is second to none. So, what exactly goes into crafting your CoriumSacs masterpiece? Let’s take you behind the scenes and dive deep into the world of leather, creativity, and pure magic.

1. Where It All Begins: From Wild Idea to Wearable Art

Every CoriumSacs creation starts as a spark of inspiration. Our design team, led by the visionary Shreyans Jain, spends hours sketching, brainstorming, and pulling inspiration from the world around us. From the bustling streets of Goa to the high-fashion runways of Milan, inspiration is everywhere. But it’s not just about looking good—it’s about creating pieces that are functional, quirky, and uniquely you.

Our in-house design studio is a playground for experimentation. We pull from over 1 million high-fashion designs imported directly from Italy, using these influences to craft accessories that push boundaries. Whether it’s reflective leather foils, custom artworks, or our signature bold metallic finishes, every CoriumSacs piece is designed to make you stand out.

Fun Fact: The name Corium comes from the Latin word for “dermis” (the leather layer of skin), while Sacs is French for “pouch.” Our name, like our designs, bridges tradition and innovation.

2. The Art of Leather Selection: A Touch of Class in Every Hide

Behind every leather masterpiece is a carefully selected hide. But not just any leather will do—we’re all about using the finest hides, ethically sourced from LWG-certified tanneries. Let’s dive into the different types of leather we use at CoriumSacs, and why each one adds something unique to our collection.
Cowhide: Strong, Versatile, Timeless
Cowhide is one of the most popular leathers for a reason—it’s durable, thick, and only gets better with time. At CoriumSacs, we select full-grain cowhide, which means the leather is left in its most natural state, retaining its natural imperfections and giving each piece a distinct character. It’s tough enough to handle the hustle of city life, yet soft enough to age beautifully with every use.
● Where you’ll find it: Our Smok-Packs and everyday leather bags often feature cowhide for its strength and structure. Plus, that patina? It’s pure magic over time.
Goatskin: Lightweight and Flexible
Looking for something that’s a little more lightweight but still super strong? That’s where goatskin comes in. Goatskin is softer and more pliable than cowhide, making it perfect for accessories that need to be flexible yet durable. It’s naturally water-resistant and has a unique, pebbled texture that adds extra flair to your bag.
● Where you’ll find it: Our more adventurous designs—think funky pouches, travel accessories, and custom collaborations—often feature goatskin for its lightweight feel and textured appearance.
Sheepskin: Soft, Luxurious, and Oh-So-Comfy
If you’re all about softness, sheepskin is your go-to. It’s one of the most luxurious leathers out there, known for its buttery-soft feel and lightweight nature. While it may not be as durable as cowhide or goatskin, it’s perfect for accessories that prioritize comfort and luxury.
● Where you’ll find it: Our sheepskin-lined accessories and high-end custom designs often feature this plush, decadent leather for those who like a touch of indulgence. Leather Tip: We can provide certifications on demand for any leather used in our products, ensuring transparency and sustainability with every hide we source.

4. Collaboration is Key: Custom Leather Creations
What’s cooler than owning a CoriumSacs piece? Owning a custom CoriumSacs piece, of course! We love collaborating with artists, musicians, and creative thinkers to design one-of-a-kind accessories that truly stand out.
Using our industrial-grade CMYK UV digital printer, we can print your custom designs directly onto the leather. This allows us to bring your vision to life, whether it’s an intricate piece of artwork or your band’s logo. Our Lead Videographer Tushar Dixit often documents the process, capturing the story behind each custom creation.

5. The Crafting Process: From Raw Hide to Leather
Legend Once we’ve selected the perfect leather and sketched out the design, it’s time to bring your CoriumSacs product to life. Here’s a sneak peek at our crafting process:
Step 1: Leather Sourcing
We start by selecting ethically sourced leather from government-certified tanneries. Each hide is handpicked for its quality, texture, and suitability for the design at hand.
Step 2: Shaping the Leather
Our artisans carefully cut the leather using both traditional methods and modern technology, ensuring that each piece is perfect for its final design.
Step 3: Stitching It Together
For the stitching, we use a mix of hand-stitching for bespoke details and machine stitching for added durability on certain designs.
Step 4: Foil Application and Custom Finishes
This is where things get fun! Using our 20-ton hydraulic press machine, we apply metallic foils or reflective finishes to give your piece that extra flair. For custom designs, we use our CMYK UV printer to print directly onto the leather.
Step 5: Quality Control
Before your product leaves our studio, it undergoes rigorous quality checks. Every stitch, every zipper, and every piece of hardware is inspected to ensure it meets our exacting standards.

The CoriumSacs Difference: Tradition Meets Innovation
At CoriumSacs, we believe in merging the best of both worlds—honoring traditional craftsmanship while embracing modern technology and artistic innovation. Whether it’s the artisanal hand-stitching or our exclusive use of reflective leather foils, every piece is designed to be bold, functional, and undeniably unique.
