The Saddle Stitch dates back thousand of years ago probably when saddles were first made by leather artisans. The stitching method is also widely used by artisan book binders till this day. While the origin is still unclear whether it was the English or the French who first created this method, it is still widely practiced by many leather artisans.
Hermes leather craftsmen are most renowned for their hand crafted leather goods and here is a short video by Hermes using the Saddle Stitch method as well as the traditional way of pricking the stitching holes.
