Fashion for soutache

Soutache is winning the hearts of all fans of decorative embroidery. It is used not only in the process of finishing clothes. It is also a fantastic technique for making interesting, unconventional jewellery. In our shop you will find special cords that allow you to work with this technique.

 The word soutache comes from French – soutache, which means “braid trimming”. These were decorations that were found on military uniforms. They were made from fine cords. However, the French took this term from the Hungarians. There sutjas simply means “braid”. As for the technique itself, it – like many other valuable ones – originates from ancient China. For years it was undervalued and marginalised. Soutache was used for finishing garments. The technique was used to make bindings, decorations for folk costumes and uniforms.

 Now, however soutache has found a group of its admirers. This technique is used not only in the clothing industry, but also to make beautiful, delicate jewellery. With its help you can create unique, stunning earrings, pendants and bracelets. The braids are often combined with precious stones or colourful glass beads, which reflect the light beautifully. In the hands of the most skilled craftsmen, both oriental and elegant, sophisticated patterns are created. Soutache is appearing more and more often in shops and at handicraft fairs.
