Shoulder bags

How to choose a shoulder bag: by size and by occasion

Size, proportions and material change the way a shoulder bag completes the look. The collection brings together different silhouettes, from compact profiles to more generous volumes, designed for different occasions and moments of the day.

Flat shoulder bags: the slim profile

Flat shoulder bags maintain a compact, defined silhouette when worn under the arm. Their slim proportions make them a versatile choice throughout the day.

In the collection: the ''Sunrise'' bag, 4.5 cm deep, curved handle, patent leather, also in black.

Large shoulder bags: when you need room

Large shoulder bags introduce a more generous volume, becoming a defining element of the look. Their proportions offer more space while maintaining a distinctive silhouette.

In the collection: the ''La Scoop'' bag, calf leather, single-zip closure.

Shoulder bags with a strap: from the shoulder to the body

Styles with a strap offer a different way to carry the bag while allowing greater freedom of movement. In soft nappa, the leather naturally follows the silhouette.

In the collection: the ''Day Off'' bag, nappa, snap closure.

Soft or structured: how the fit changes

Material changes both the character and structure of the bag. Nappa creates softer, more fluid silhouettes, while calf and patent leather maintain more defined shapes. The choice of material becomes part of the styling.

Shape and construction: the design of THE ATTICO bags

THE ATTICO shoulder bags explore shape, proportion and material through distinctive silhouettes. Sculptural profiles, compact or more generous volumes and construction details give each design its own identity.

Material further defines the silhouette: patent leather emphasises shape and surface, nappa introduces softness, while calf leather adds structure.

How to wear and style a shoulder bag

A shoulder bag can be worn on the shoulder or under the arm, depending on the handle and proportions of the design. Shape, size and material determine its character and the way it complements the silhouette.

• With a long coat: a compact profile keeps the proportions of the look defined.
• With a sharp look: a larger bag introduces volume and becomes a focal point of the styling.
• On colour: black and neutral tones work across the wardrobe, while seasonal colours and finishes create a distinctive accent.
