Do you mean the dark stripes? For those you have to wet the leather with water and then stamp/incise/impress the decoration on the surface. With thin leather you have to take care not to use too much force or you will damage or cut through. I feel this technique works best when the leather is not soaking wet but about halfways dry. For the lines I used a bone knife as shoemakers or bookbinders use it, but anything smooth and roundedged of the right size should do I think.
