One is better than the next, I'm not even sure how that can even be! This leather one is gorgeous.
Hm, soutache - soutache is quite lovely done well but I'll tell you my one and only experience with soutache. I had a shirt or jacket with soutache, washed it once and the ribbons came off, unsewn, whatever. I was so griped. I had to throw it out. I've never bought it ever again. This should have never happened.
