Types of Italian Leather

There are a few types of leather, but the two most popular are full grain and top grain. Full grain leather is the best type, because it's taken from the outside of the hide and has more texture, which means it will last longer and develop more character over time. Top grain leather comes from an inner layer that has been buffed down to make it smoother.

While the process for making leather requires tedious steps like tanning (turning animal hides into soft usable material), dying them different colors etc., I'll spare you too much detail here because I'd rather talk about what makes this material so special instead!

Why Buy a Made in Italy Handbag?

When it comes to choosing a leather bag, there are a lot of factors to consider. The quality, craftsmanship, design and style all need to be right for you. However, the quality of materials and attention to detail should always be at the top of your list when making this decision.

Made in Italy handbags have been dominating fashion since they first made their appearance on the runway back in the 1950s. The reason behind this is simple: because they are made with such care and attention to detail by some of the best craftsmen in Europe who spend countless hours on every single piece that leaves their workshop.

The Italian fashion industry is one of the largest in the world, and it’s no surprise that they have mastered the art of leather working. Italy has been known for centuries as a place where high-quality leather bags are produced; even back in ancient times, Roman soldiers wore handcrafted leather armor.
