What are the first things that come to mind when you think about Italy? Perhaps pizza, pasta, gelato, The Lizzie McGuire Movie, and other clichés. But one thing that always comes to mind (that isn’t a cliché but a matter of fact) is the craftsmanship you find in this stunning European country. Whether in shoes, clothing, jewelry, or handbags, you know that when you see "Made in Italy” on the label, it’s of top-notch quality.
