OUR STORY
HANDCRAFTING LEATHER GOODS SINCE 1917
Over 100 Years of Quality Craftsmanship
Korchmar has been in the business of handcrafting fine leather goods for over 100 years – it’s safe to say we know what it takes to do it right.
Each of our products is handcrafted by skilled artisans, many of whom have been perfecting their craft for more than 30 years. We are proud to design and develop all Korchmar products in our own wholly owned and operated factories in the United States and the Dominican Republic.
The Finest Materials in the World
Every Korchmar bag is handcrafted using only the finest materials: top quality leather, solid brass hardware, canvas that is infused with wax for added strength and durability, and premium twill lining.
We have developed relationships with some of the best raw material suppliers in the world and are committed to crafting unparalleled bags and accessories that are designed to last a lifetime.
Meticulous Attention to Detail
Korchmar bags are timeless, distinctive, and durable. As each bag is made to meet the needs of discerning professionals, we pay meticulous attention to every detail.
Our Beginnings
In 1917, Max Korchmar launched Korchmar (formerly "The Leather Specialty Company") on Main Street in Cincinnati, Ohio with a vision to create world-class leather goods and accessories. Korchmar's first products were leather automobile lamp visors, thermos cases, and premium leather 'suitcase corners' designed to protect the edges of old style trunks and hard-sided luggage.
A Family Business, Four Generations Strong
The Korchmar tradition of excellence spans four generations – Max Korchmar’s son, grandson, and now his great grandchildren have remained committed to creating world-class leather bags and accessories that meet the demands of discerning professionals.

Carrying a Korchmar bag or accessory means that you are becoming part of a rich legacy defined by quality craftsmanship and character.
