One of the key elements that sets these handbags apart is the leather itself. Italy is known for producing some of the greatest leather in the world, one of which is full-grain leather. This leather comes from the top layer of the hide and is the most sought-after and resilient component that is usually used in these bags. Another unique feature is the country’s  tanning procedure which is called vegetable tanning. This process enhances the leather's inherent beauty and durability while also being good for the environment. 

Italian leather handbags are painstakingly made by hand, beginning with the assembling and concluding with the stitching. Italian leather goods are known for their flawless finish, which is the result of skilled artisans who frequently spend hours or even days working on a single handbag.  

Why Is Italian Leather So Expensive?

The answer is straightforward: leather is extremely difficult to obtain, and hence, the final prices of the bags also goes up. Consider this, in this fast–paced world where everything happens in a blink of an eye. Even big cars get assembled pretty easily, so making a detail–oriented bag with human hands will take time. Furthermore, the tanning procedure is labor- and time-intensive, especially when using the conventional vegetable tanning technique.

Additionally, the cost of the bag also goes up because the Italian bag–making industry works the formula of one man one bag. In other words, one fine artisan who has spent years honing their skills and craft, will make only one bag at any given moment. This makes the artisans very proficient and committed to their work but due to the long production hours, the prices also rise. 

In addition, Italian leather cross-body handbags and other designs are renowned for their longevity, indicating their long-lasting construction. This durability makes the initial investment worthwhile because these handbags frequently end up as heirlooms that are passed down through the generations.
