    About us

     

    We are an international accessories brand that couples contemporary Scandi-cool minimalism and authentic Italian craftsmanship. Our shoes and bags are designed in Stockholm and made by hand in Tuscany. We’re a lifestyle brand that challenges the concept of luxury, looking to make it smart, not redundant. Our mission is to inspire women to make smart choices - both for themselves but also for the sake of the world we live in. 

     

    We have a strong presence in Scandinavia, as well as on a global level in cities like London, Paris, New York and Tokyo. We operate through our own distribution channels as well as wholesale partners with 160 doors worldwide. HQ is located in the historic Seamen's Institute in the heart of Södermalm in Stockholm. The space is carefully curated to fit the personal and warm, but still sleek and minimal expression of the brand. The team itself is built on the basis of people’s contrasting ideas and personalities, rather than like-mindedness. Our offices are characterized by professionalism and hard work, but also a strong sense of family with room for warmth and laughter. 

     

    We interview candidates continuously, if we find the right candidate the position may be filled before the last application date. Please submit your CV and cover letter to career@atpatelier.com
