The phrase "Made in Italy" has become synonymous with quality, luxury, and expertise. But what exactly does this label mean and why is it so highly regarded in the fashion and design industries?
From the rich history of Italian craftsmanship to the stringent regulations that govern the use of this label, this blog will unlock the intricacies of what it truly means for a product to be classified as "Made in Italy."
The significance of the "Made in Italy" label.
The "Made in Italy" label holds immense significance in the fashion and design industries for several reasons. First and foremost, it signifies a commitment to unparalleled expertise, skill and attention to detail - stemming from Italy's rich heritage of artisanal traditions. This label also serves as a symbol of quality and excellence, reassuring consumers of the superior standards upheld in the production process. Further, products bearing this label often command a premium price due to the reputation of Italian craftsmanship.
The history and tradition behind Italian craftsmanship.
Italian craftsmanship has a long history dating back centuries, deeply intertwined with the country's cultural heritage. From the skilled hands of artisans in Florence to the meticulous tailoring in Milan, Italy's skillful traditions have been passed down through generations, preserving techniques that are recognised worldwide. The commitment to quality and attention to detail in every step of the production process is a reflection of Italy's dedication to excellence. This rich tradition of artisanship not only adds value to products but also imparts a sense of pride and authenticity to the "Made in Italy" label, making it a symbol of timeless elegance and exceptional quality.
True to Label
Recently, one of our customers questioned the authenticity of our merchandise, specifically asking if our clothes were genuinely Made in Italy. Initially surprised by his question, I asked him why did he ask such a question?
He shared that he previously worked for one of the world's largest optical manufacturers. He explained that although certain renowned brands claim their products are made in specific countries—Italy, in this case—the reality is quite different. According to him, only a minor portion of these products are actually assembled in their purported country of origin. This situation arises from certain legal regulations that enable these prominent companies to label their goods as "Made in Italy.”
Upon reflection, this conversation underlines the importance of transparency and accuracy in product labelling—a standard we strive to uphold stringently at Tema Moda. Firstly, the majority of our fabric is bought in Lake Como and our clothes are made in our workshop in Lake Garda, Italy by local artisans.
When purchasing something, the ideal strategy is to take the time to study everything there is to know about the goods, as well as to visit factories and suppliers who have been pioneers in the industry and, most importantly, are the true source of production or distribution. Otherwise, you may end up with something that is not exactly what you expected.
