Look at the seams running down the insides of your jeans legs... same seam. In that instance, it's for durability.
I, too, thought it looked like a French Seam, but it's really not. This "Pojagi" is truly FLAT.
A French Seam is clean and no raw edges but has a bit of a dimension... at least the ones I've seen in handmade organdy dresses from my ancestors.

Both type seams are great for their appropriate applications.
