Saddle stitching, though time-consuming, defines the personality of a strap. It uses two needles to create an interlocking stitch that won’t unravel even if one thread breaks. It’s strong, secure, and incredibly beautiful.
Machine stitching may be consistent and fast, but it can’t replicate the depth, feel, and longevity of hand stitching. With hand stitching, even the tiny imperfections make the piece more personal and authentic.
To me, saddle stitching isn’t just a method – it’s a mindset. It’s a reflection of slowing down and respecting the material.
