A stitch structure has a first surface and a second surface. The stitch structure includes: a first fabric having a first end section; a second fabric having a second end section; a first stitching that extends in a direction substantially parallel to the direction of extension of the first end section; a second stitching that extends in a direction substantially parallel to the direction of extension of the second end section; a third stitching; and a tape-shaped member. The stitch structure is characterized by; a first thread and a second thread being arranged in the first stitching and the second stitching, respectively, so as to repeatedly return across and penetrate at least the first fabric and at least the second fabric, in the thickness direction thereof; a decorative thread being arranged in the third stitching so as to repeatedly span between at least the first thread and the second thread; and the tape-shaped member binding the first fabric and the second fabric.
