According to reports, commodity prices for luxury goods in Italy fell 6.4% during the 12 months to June 2009, a higher fall than that recorded in May (-5.5%). Unsurprisingly, the price decline started in September 2008.

Furthermore, while raw material prices fell in some areas, the leather sector has been negatively impacted by a 6.2% rise in skins and leather prices.
