paul and shark

Brand History Paul&Shark brand is created and owned by Dama S.p.A.. Dama SpA was founded in 1957 by Gian Ludovico Dini in Varese, Italy and manifactured knitwear for high-end fashion brands such as Christian Dior and Balenciaga. In 1970 Paolo Dini, the eldest son of Gian Ludovico, created the brand Paul&Shark after a visit in a small sailmaker's workshop during a trip to Maine, where a sail from an old 18th-century clipper with the inscription "Paul&Shark" caught his eye. The company is today run by CEO and President Andrea Dini, the third generation of the family.
