Nice bag. What makes it "Hermes saddle stitching" as opposed to saddle stitching that actual saddle makers have been using for hundreds of years?

So Hermes was the first to not cast a stitch?

Most likely one of the oldest, still running company (most established) to saddle stitch, since the early 1800s. The angle of the stitch and the separation of each stitch with thinner thread would be why he called it hermes saddle stitch. Not entirely right, or wrong.

Id be interested in a tutorial if you are willing to share how you make it. Very unique looking bag.

Does anyone know of a book about their history? According to their wiki page they did harness and saddle mostly until the 1920s.
