The Attico signatures: the eight pieces the brand keeps making, and the best version of each
The Attico signatures: the eight pieces the brand keeps making, and the best version of each
A brand ten years old has had time to decide what it is. The Attico’s answer, read across 229 in-stock pieces and several seasons of product pages, is eight signatures that come back every year in new fabrics: the fringe mini, the Scoop cut-out, the Fern cargo, the Anja bomber, the zebra animalier, the lace slip, the tuxedo and the Il primo bagno bikini. This page explains each one, why it recurs, and which version at Luxury Handbags is the one to buy, with prices from $370 to $8,417.
Key facts
- The mini dress is the centre of every season; the fringe version is the most recognised, the lace and tulle versions the most worn.
- The Scoop cut-out runs across tees, sweatshirts, tops/shirt/" class="cvx-al cvx-al--category">shirts and knits, the cheapest way to own a signature.
- The Fern cargo appears in denim, gabardine and fleece; the Anja bomber in nylon, cotton, wool, leather and fur.
- The zebra animalier is printed on cotton and jacquard-woven on viscose.
- The tuxedo trouser and jacket are the brand’s quiet signature, in pure virgin wool.
- At Luxury Shoes : 30 mini dresses, 18 bombers, 7 cargo pieces, 17 zebra pieces, 17 swim pieces.
1. Black mini dress, $1,840

3. Washed blue cargo pants, $1,680

4. Washed blue bomber, $1,990
The Anja bomber in the same washed gabardine, the version to wear with everything.

5. Desert mini dress, $1,140

7. Black tuxedo pants, $1,360

Why these eight
Each one solves a different night. The fringe mini is the entrance; the lace slip is dinner; the tuxedo is the formal invitation; the bomber and cargo are the walk home and the next day; the Scoop tee is the day after that; the zebra is the holiday and the bikini is the beach. Read together they are the founders’ two personalities, Ambrosio’s bold half and Tordini’s clean half, which the brand’s About page describes as “multiplicity as feminine strength”. The styling guide shows how the halves combine, and the capsule wardrobe builds eight pieces into a working wardrobe.
The variations worth knowing
Fringe comes in black and pink this season, and the marabou and soutache dresses above $3,000 are the dressed-up cousins; see the feather and fringe page. The Fern exists as the Fay cargo mini skirt and as garment-dyed fleece; the cargo guide lists all of them. The bomber runs from $1,520 in wool to $7,616 in Mongolian fur; the bomber guide ranks the 18. Zebra is on 17 pieces at Luxury Shoes , covered by the zebra and prints page.
“At a time when femininity was anchored to a very precise aesthetics, a la Phoebe Philo, we came up with something different, more romantic,” Gilda Ambrosio told WWD in September 2023. “Who has only one personality?”
