@Dr_Ruminahui Appreciate the suggestions, just yesterday I saw someone who used what looked to be cut up paper clips as stitching which I thought was a smart idea, so that or staples (sounds like we came up with the same idea in parallel!) would be something I'd like to explore next time. Using metal material, I could potentially heat up the ends to melt some small holes at the contact points so it would look like the stitches are going into the leather.

Not too surprising our minds might go similar directions in addressing the same question.  Personally, I think paperclips would likely be even thicker than your current stitching, so I think staples would probably be a better idea - plus, they are a more ductile metal than clips, so would be easier to snip and bend.
