Did this brand really switch production from Italy to China?

Yes, several years ago. The price of the boot did not go down either, even though I'm sure it's cheaper to manufacture in China. The overall quality of the boot did suffer, but still a good boot.

These are in fact made in China, however I am on my 5th pair since the mid-1990's and I see no difference in the build quality from the 1990's to present day. I have had no issues with any of my Sundowner's and in my opinion they are some of the best, lightweight, water resistant hiking boots on the planet. I wear them daily.

you've got me here;;; yes, my first thought is that they were made in China, but I never knew about Italy. The pair I received were beautiful, but fit way to tight across the arch....this is happening to me from various brands, starting with Red Wing, and then Dunham (New Balance).

I assume they did. The tag on it says"Made in China"also I checked my old ones todayThey were made in Italy as you mentioned. They sure charged md the same price. I am about to go to YouTube on this one and show both boots, I am very upset, Thanks for asking the question. The other sad part id that they have not seemed to care about my concern . Who are these people ?

I assumed China, because that's the reality of modern consumerism, right? Just looked at the box to confirm that, indeed, it's made in China. Surprise.

Made in China is printed on the Box. It say design in Italy and made in China

No, the "Made in Italy" notation is on the box. By the way, I think that the glasses are wonderful. Heavy, durable, and well made.

I've seen this brand at Target and been to their website. Their products are made in China. They have more info on their website about their overseas production.

It says "Made by Bialetti, Italian Quality & Design." I don't see made in China on the box.

I've heard they moved production to China and any ones made elsewhere are just left overs.

China, where everything comes from. :-) No, seriously, some are made in Italy, some in India, mine and one I purchased for a buddy was made in India.

I think it was made in Italy. Regardless, Karcher is junk. Don't buy any of their overpriced crap.

No, I could not find anything to indicate China when I was shopping for flatware. I believe that the company is French. I am very pleased with my flatware. It goes in the dishwasher and does not spot. It is heavy and the pattern is much prettier than in the picture.

Everything is made in China nowadays this would be an equivalent of a generic brand I wouldn't pay for a temperedic

No, Italy I believe. Benelli USA is the distributor in the US. This is a factory part.

Click the link that says "See more product details." You'll see that the origin is "China."

This one is sourced from China. Unfortunately, they are either sourced from China or Japan and both have quality issues, but the benefits far outweigh the negatives!

I still have the box and nowhere on the box or from any of the packaging in my box did it say it was made in China. It said that the company is from Italy and distributed from California. If you have a RMA, then you can return to California.
