The Attico materials and care: what each piece is made of and how to keep it

The Attico states a composition on every product page, and once you read 229 of them a pattern shows. The tailoring is pure virgin wool. The knitwear is a 70 percent virgin wool and 30 percent cashmere blend. The denim, fleece, shirting and cargo are 100 percent cotton. The dresses are viscose and viscose blends, sometimes with polyamide for stretch. The swim is polyamide and elastane. The bombers are the wild card: cotton gabardine, nylon, a wool-leather mix, lamb and goat leather and Mongolian fur. This page counts the fibres, explains why each is used, and gives the care for every one, drawn from the fibre rather than from a generic label.

Key facts

• Cotton is the most common fibre at Luxury Handbags (110 pieces), followed by viscose (30), wool and wool-cashmere (50), polyamide-elastane swim (10), leather (5), fur (4) and silk (4).
• Knitwear core: 70 percent virgin wool, 30 percent cashmere, made in Italy; a few fleece-weight knits in Portugal and Romania.
• Tailoring: 100 percent virgin wool, often lined in viscose; the tuxedo pieces carry satin-faced details.
• Party dresses: viscose, lyocell and viscose-polyamide-elastane blends, with lace, tulle, fringe and marabou applied.
• Outerwear extremes: 100 percent lamb leather, 100 percent goat leather (suede) and 100 percent Mongolian fur on the bombers.
• The brand publishes no care text; the care lines below follow the stated fibre, and the safe default for anything embellished is a specialist dry clean.

Wool and cashmere: the knitwear and the tailoring

The Light grey sweater is the reference: 70 percent virgin wool and 30 percent cashmere, made in Italy, ribbed trims, a curved hem. The tuxedo pants and the long coat are virgin wool and wool-cashmere. Care: dry clean the tailoring; hand wash the knits cool with a wool detergent, press the water out, dry flat and reshape, never hang a wet knit. Store folded with cedar. A mohair blend like the Coffee and pink sweater sheds a little at first and settles.

Cotton: denim, gabardine, fleece and jersey

The jeans, the Fern cargo in washed denim and gabardine, the sweatshirts in brushed fleece and the t-shirts in jersey are all pure cotton and all made in Italy unless the page says otherwise. Care: machine wash cold, inside out, on a gentle cycle; hang denim and gabardine to dry, dry fleece flat, cool iron if needed. Garment-dyed and faded pieces such as the Mauve fade long pants will soften and lighten a shade over time, which is the point of the finish.

Viscose and blends: the dresses

The fringe mini is 94 percent viscose, the Black and ivory midi dress is viscose satin with lace, the Dark grapes midi dress is lyocell. Viscose drapes like silk and creases like it, and it weakens when wet, so the rule is a specialist dry clean for anything with fringe, lace, marabou, soutache and sheer panels, and a cool hand wash only for plain jersey. Hang fringe dresses on a padded hanger with the fringe combed straight; store lace flat between tissue.

Polyamide and elastane: swim and stretch

Il primo bagno bikinis and one-pieces are 82 percent polyamide and 18 percent elastane. Rinse in cold fresh water after every wear, hand wash with a mild soap, dry flat in the shade, never wring, never tumble dry and never leave rolled wet. The stretch-jersey dresses with a polyamide-elastane content follow the same rule at home, and the embellished ones go to the dry cleaner.

Leather, suede and fur: the bombers

The black lamb leather bomber and the goat suede bomber are specialist-clean only; wipe leather with a dry cloth, keep suede away from rain, and store both on a wide hanger in a breathable bag. The Mongolian fur bomber needs a furrier for cleaning and cool, dry storage between seasons; shake it, never brush it against the pile. The leather and fur page covers each style.

Where it is made

208 of the 229 pieces at Luxury Handbags state Made in Italy. Portugal (10), Romania (8) and Croatia (3) account for the rest, mostly fleece, knits and a few bombers, and each Luxury Handbags product page states the country for that piece. The authentication guide explains why that matters.

“Experimentation has been the single funnest and most liberating thing about the show thus far, we set ourselves no limits and had none,” Giorgia Tordini told WWD ahead of the spring 2024 show in September 2023.
