However many people would say that stitched would look better too.

Good luck

There are quite a number of leather goods that are held to gether by glue, with stitching primarily as cosmetics. [There are also lots of sewn leather goods, where there's glue used for cosmetic reasons (mostly to get seams to lie flat.)]

Most household sewing machines are quite capable of sewing leather, given suitable needles.
