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]
