Real Italian leather is "full grain" leather made from the very best raw hides, so that they do not need to be sanded to get rid of imperfections. Full-grain leather is tough and durable, and as it ages, it gains a beautiful sheen. Quality leather-goods actually grow more beautiful over time, and develop a nice, rich patina.
Most traditional leather comes from the hide of a cow, but sometimes it’s made from the hide of the ostrich. It is very thick and durable, and has these large bumps on the surface, creating a "goose bump" appearance.
Italian Leather can cost up to six times more than the cost of lower quality Leather, but not all Italian leather has to clean out your bank account. You can buy affordable items, IF you know what you’re looking for, and when you wear good, quality leather, it says a lot about your sense of style and appreciation of quality.
