Paul & Shark

Paul & Shark is an Italian luxury clothing brand founded in 1976 in Varese by Paolo Dini. The name was inspired by a working sail discovered by Dini during a trip to Maine, marked with the words “Paul & Shark”, a detail that became the starting point for a brand deeply connected to the sea.

Rooted in Italian craftsmanship and shaped by a strong maritime identity, Paul & Shark combines refined design, technical research and functional elegance. One of its most iconic pieces, the C0P918 pullover, was introduced in 1978 as a sailing sweater and became a symbol of the brand’s approach to performance knitwear.

Today, Paul & Shark continues to develop collections for men and women with a focus on quality materials, timeless design and modern craftsmanship, preserving its connection with travel, the sea and an understated sense of adventure.
