There's no such thing as "Italian" or "Spanish" leather. If you have to import the product, it's not indigenous to your culture. The type of leather Italian designers desire and use is not made in Italy. So they import it from all sorts of places. Same goes with "Italian" coffee. Coffee beans are not grown in Italy but in places like Yemen, Africa and Central America.
Italy is a net importer of many things that they turn into their own.
When we say "Italian" espresso or leather, we're talking about the art of turning coffee or leather into something "Italian."
This is where Italians have become masters and it's not different with leather.
Because Italy is more than a geographic expression..
