agree  Tony M: Yes, though I think it's more like a 'portant un motif ajouré', for example (mustn't forget the 'detail' bit) / But it's not the whole strap that is in cut-work, just a detail on it. I really think this is an important distinction to be amde, even in FR.

  -> Je pense que l'on peut ici omettre 'detail'. Ce terme est en effet très fréquemment utilisé dans les descriptifs de sacs, bijoux, vêtements ou autres mais peut souvent être omis en français par l'expression/la tournure de phrase employée.

disagree  Tony M: 'broderie' really only applies to a certain kind of cut-work, not likely to apply in the case of a watch-strap, I don't think.
