Our Story

Prema Leathers was born from a simple belief that luxury can be beautiful, functional, and purposeful. Founded by Carmen Sivunigunta, every bag is crafted with care from ethically sourced leather and designed for real life. Profits from every purchase help fund hands-on tech education for children in the U.S. and India.

How It All Began

Prema Leathers began in Carmen Sivunigunta’s home studio with a vision to create timeless pieces that blend quiet luxury with everyday practicality. What started as a search for a durable, elegant bag that could withstand the rhythm of motherhood and travel turned into a mission — to design leather goods that carry both beauty and purpose. Each design is rooted in Carmen’s love for craftsmanship, her eye for detail, and her belief that fashion should feel personal, not disposable.
As Prema grew, so did its purpose. Together with her husband, Satya, Carmen built Prema Leathers into more than a brand — it became a bridge between artistry and impact. Every purchase helps fund children’s education in technology, robotics, and creativity through partner foundations in the U.S. and India, proving that what we carry can also carry meaning.

Our Mission

Our mission is to craft beautiful, functional leather goods that stand the test of time — pieces that simplify life, honor craftsmanship, and tell a story of purpose. We believe luxury should be thoughtful, accessible, and aligned with values that matter.
At Prema Leathers, every product serves a greater goal: empowering the next generation through education. A portion of every purchase supports programs that teach children hands-on skills in technology, robotics, and creativity — transforming fashion into a force for good.

Luxury isn’t about labels or price tags - it’s about creating something meaningful, made with care, that gives back more than it takes.
