The Attico review: is it worth the money? A fashion editor’s verdict by category

This is a review of The Attico as clothes, not as a mood. The label sells attitude better than almost any Milan brand of its generation, so the useful question for a buyer is what the attitude is made of. We read the composition, lining and made-in line of every one of the 229 pieces in stock at Luxury Handbags and at the brand on the date at the foot of this page, checked the fit notes against the size chart, and priced each category against its own fabric. The short version: the tailoring, the bombers and the cotton pieces are strong value at their level, the party dresses are priced for their construction rather than their fibre, and the fur bombers are a collector’s buy. The detail follows, with prices from $370 to $8,417.

Tailoring and trousers: the quiet strength

The black tuxedo pants at $1,360 are 100 percent virgin wool, made in Italy, with a wrap-effect panel at the front, and the grey gabardine trousers at $1,520 are lined in viscose, which the product page states and which most trousers at this price do not have. This is the category where the fibre, the make and the price line up best, and where the brand’s “regular fit, true to size” note is reliable. The tailoring page ranks the set.

Bombers: the best money at the top of the range

The bomber is the brand’s second signature after the mini dress and it comes in 18 versions at Luxury Shoes , $1,520 to $7,616. The washed cotton gabardine Washed blue bomber at $1,990 is Italian-made, adjustable at the cuffs and hem and cut with dropped shoulders; the wool-blend versions at around $2,310 are 75 percent virgin wool; the Mongolian fur bomber at $5,820 is a fur coat priced like one. Value is strongest in the cotton and wool bombers, and the bomber guide sets them side by side.

Cotton, denim and fleece: honest fabric at honest prices

The logo t-shirt at $500 is a 100 percent cotton jersey tee with an embroidered logo and the brand’s Scoop cut-out at the hem; the jeans and the cargo pants are pure cotton denim and gabardine made in Italy; the sweatshirts are brushed cotton fleece. The Washed blue cargo pants at $1,680 is the piece we would send a first-time buyer to, because it is the brand’s most recognisable trouser in its most useful fabric. See the cargo guide, the jeans guide and the sweatshirt guide.

Knitwear: the cashmere blend is the tell

The core knits, the Light grey sweater at $1,300 among them, are 70 percent virgin wool and 30 percent cashmere, made in Italy, with ribbed trims and the curved hem that echoes the Scoop. A few fleece-weight knits are made in Romania and Portugal and the product page says so. The fibre is right for the price; the fit is regular. The knitwear guide has the full list.

Party dresses: what you are paying for

The fringe mini dress at $1,840 is 94 percent viscose, and the Black and ivory midi dress at $2,310 is viscose satin with lace panels. Neither is silk, and you should know that before you buy. What the price buys is the construction, the fringe that is cut to move, the lace placement, the body-contouring pattern, and the fact that it is the dress people recognise. The marabou and soutache pieces above $3,000 are hand-finished and priced as such. Our verdict: buy the party dress for the cut, not the cloth, and buy it in the size the fit note recommends. The party dress ranking and the lace and tulle guide go piece by piece.

Swim: Italian-made and priced above the high street, below the couture swim houses

Il primo bagno bikinis at Luxury Handbags run from $570, in 82 percent polyamide and 18 percent elastane, made in Italy, with the Scoop neckline and high-cut leg. The swimwear guide compares the cuts.

The verdict

Worth full price: tailoring, bombers in cotton and wool, denim, cargo, the cashmere-blend knits. Worth it for the design rather than the fibre: the viscose party dresses and the swim. A collector’s decision: the fur and leather bombers and the hand-embroidered dresses above $3,000. Sizing is the one thing that can go wrong, and the brand’s own fit line prevents it. The full collection at Luxury Shoes lists everything in stock.

“The Attico is the brainchild of Gilda Ambrosio and Giorgia Tordini: women talking to women, imagining fashions as tools of expression, with a distinctive sense of daring,” the house writes on theattico.com, describing a label “rooted in the complementary personalities of its creative directors and an idea of multiplicity as feminine strength.”
