What role does the 'top hand stitch' mentioned in the bag description play?
I am asking to confirm whether the hand stitching at the top of the bag is simply decorative or if it actually helps when using the zipper.
It is a finish that adds stitches by hand to the top of the bag, holding the opening so it does not twist and moves smoothly when putting items in and opening and closing the zipper.
Hand stitch refers to sewing done directly by hand with a needle instead of by machine.
Bags with zippers are repeatedly subjected to the force of opening and closing. In particular, the softer the fabric at the bag's opening, the easier it is for the edge to be pulled up along with the zipper when tugging it, causing it to catch or the line to pucker.
RECTO's SINGULAR SHOULDER BAG has hand stitching added to the top of the bag, stably holding the shape where the zipper sits[1]. By fixing it with consistent tension applied by hand, the shape of the opening does not collapse and remains straight even when opening and closing the bag[2].
The material of the thread used for the top hand stitch and the specific sewing technique have not yet been confirmed in official materials.
