Paul & Shark

Paul & Shark is an Italian clothing brand founded in 1975 by Paolo Dini,[1] son of mill owner Gian Ludovico Dini.[2] It has 280 stores and is headquartered in Varese.[2] The brand is 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] GQ has called it "the sailing man's sailing gear".[3] Its symbol is a shark.[4]

Marketing

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.[5][6]
