Soutache is said to have originated from the practice of sewing decorative patterns onto the cuffs and collars of European aristocratic blouses and jackets using special flat cords (braids). It is made by combining colorful cords with cabochons and beads. The finished products are very light and glamorous. While often used for accessories in flamenco and belly dance, they are also perfect for everyday wear♪ They are truly lovely. There may be some rough stitching, but these are works made with great care. We appreciate your understanding when making a purchase. They are large and make a statement! They are quite big!
