Paul and Shark

Paul & Shark is a sportswear trade-mark founded in 1921 in the medieval hamlet of Masnago, Varese in the countryside 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 trademark of Paul&Shark. Since then Paul&Shark has grown, with Ladies' and Cadets' collections, to such a point that nowadays all the company's energies are dedicated to Paul&Shark.

The company production structure is fully integrated and it directly controls all the different facilities involved in the manufacturing of Paul&Shark collections.

Quality and Performance

Since its foundation the company has always considered quality as one of the most important elements of it success. Every day we try to increase our level of quality knowing that the research into the newest technical materials is the starting point for achieving comfort with performance. To suit the highest level of performance Paul&Shark have created the R&D Research and Development Centre, where the stylists and textile experts analyze the tests of a professional Sailing Team who wear all the hi-tech clothing on board during their regattas.

Paul&Shark is always in search of new technologies able to meet the requirements of the Man of the Third Millennium. Water, ice, sun, and extreme climatic conditions: those are the situations that Paul&Shark fronts with hi-tech materials: SUNSHIELD, resistant to ultraviolet rays, TYPHOON 20000, repellent to a pressure of 20 thousand mm of water, WATERSHED, water and oil-proof, CONTROLTEMP, which manages sudden changes of temperature with the dynamic thermo-regulation technology. In the future the Paul&Shark Man, after having faced sea and snowstorms on earth, will look after new hi-tech frontiers to discover and new challenges to handle and maybe the world won't be enough...
