Enhancing Craftsmanship with Hand-Stitched Excellence

Saddle stitching

To begin saddle stitching, the leather artisan uses two needles, each threaded with a length of waxed thread. The needles are inserted through the leather from opposite sides, crossing each other in the middle. The artisan then pulls the needles through, creating a loop on each side of the leather. This process is repeated, with each stitch passing through the previous loop, resulting in a secure and visually appealing pattern.

Pricking the stitch line

Creating stitching holes

A pricking iron is a specialized tool with evenly spaced, sharp prongs that create precise holes in leather. By using a pricking iron, leather artisans can ensure consistent stitch spacing and alignment, resulting in clean and professional-looking stitches. This tool is particularly useful for saddle stitching, as it helps guide the needles through the leather, ensuring a strong and durable bond
