Is The Attico a luxury brand? Price, quality and where it sits

Is The Attico a luxury brand? Yes, in the sense that matters at the till: it is made mostly in Italy, sold through Harrods, Bergdorf Goodman and La Rinascente, part-owned by the family holding of Moncler’s chairman, and priced from $370 to $7,880 at Luxury Handbags with a median of $1,300. It is not a heritage house. It is a Milan label founded in 2016 that sits in the luxury contemporary tier, above Self-Portrait and below Saint Laurent, and it earns its price with fabric, construction and a very particular point of view. Gemma Deeks sets out what you get for the money.

Where The Attico sits in the market

Luxury contemporary is the tier of labels that make in the same Italian factories as the big houses, sell in the same department stores and price a dress at one to five thousand dollars rather than ten. The Attico is squarely in it. At Luxury Handbags its dress median is $1,680; 16Arlington, the closest comparison, sits at $1,916 and Magda Butrym at $3,630. A Saint Laurent evening dress costs several times more. The brand is not cheap, and it is not trying to be; it is the label the Milan fashion crowd wears out at night, and its prices reflect small runs and Italian labour rather than logo premium.

What you are paying for

Fabric first. The knitwear is virgin wool and cashmere, the tailoring is wool gabardine and cady, the denim is pure Italian cotton, the summer pieces are cotton muslin, poplin and viscose cut on the bias, and the evening pieces use tulle embroidered with ostrich feathers and soutache. Construction second: the corset seaming on the FW26 midis, the overlapping double-front on the jeans, the garment-within-garment shirting with doubled collars, all of it visible on the product photographs. Design third, and this is where the price lives: the fringe minis, the Scoop cut-out, the zebra animalier print and the Anja bomber are recognisable across a room, which is the whole point of a going-out brand.

Is the quality good?

By the standard of the tier, yes. The dresses are lined where they need to be (the fringe minis carry what the brand calls strategic lining), the knits are heavy for their gauge and the tailoring holds its shape. The pieces to inspect before buying are the very light ones: cotton muslin shirts and shorts are meant to be sheer and airy and will not behave like poplin, and the feather pieces are for occasions rather than daily wear. Prices at Luxury Handbags include authentication of every piece before dispatch.

Why is The Attico so expensive?

Because it is made in Italy in short runs by a company that shows at Milan Fashion Week, uses cashmere, silk and fur, and sells through the most expensive department stores in the world. The price is also the market price: the brand sets a global retail level and its stockists follow it, with regional differences for duties and taxes. If you want the look for less, the alternatives page lists Self-Portrait as the accessible option and the sale guide explains when the brand marks down.

How to buy it well

Buy the categories the brand does best and that hold their value in your wardrobe: a black mini dress, the nylon Anja bomber, a wool and cashmere sweater, the wide jeans. Skip the t-shirts unless you want the logo; the cropped black crew-neck at $500 is a well-cut tee, and the money goes further on a black gathered mini with the Scoop cut-out at $1,360. The price guide lists every category, and the collection at Luxury Shoes has everything in stock.
