Founded in 1921 near Milan the company quickly grew from a knitting mill to an international clothing design company. The Paul & Sharks design team strives for perfection using their knowledge and technical use of fabrics each season revealing fashions that ouze quality and never dates. Paul and Shark is a sportswear trade-mark founded in 1921 in the medieval hamlet of Masnago, Varese in the country-side close to Milan. At that time the company was a knitting mill producing and trading under its own name. In 1977 a new division was created for the development of sportswear for Men with the trade-mark of a shark. All the design, weaving and manufacture are controlled directly by the company with no outside influences to dilute the quality.
