Paul & Shark is a luxury Italian clothing brand founded in 1975 by Paolo Dini, [1] son of mill owner Gian Ludovico Dini. [2] It has 280 stores worldwide and is headquartered in Varese. [2] Its CEO is Andrea Dini. [3]
The brand was inspired by the sail of an 18th-century clipper, [2] inscribed with the words "Paul & Shark" seen during Dini's visit to a small sailmaker's workshop in Maine. [1] In 2017, GQ called it "the sailing man's sailing gear". [4] Its symbol is a shark. [5]
The company outfitted and sponsored Italian explorer Alex Bellini in his over 200 km cross-country skiing of the Vatnajökull, the biggest glacier in Europe. [6] [7]
