I am looking into purchasing some new sofas, and I have been looking at leather sofas. The store near me made a big deal about their sofas being Italian leather sofas. Is this really something special? Are these leather sofas more expensive than other leather sofas? What makes Italian leather sofas any different from sofas made in other countries? Can anyone tell me more about this? I would be curious to find out more before I purchase a sofa. If it is a matter of quality that is one thing, but otherwise I wouldn’t pay more just because it came from Italy.
