New Brand: Paul & Shark

Here at Hanley & Co, we would like to introduce you to the newest brand to arrive in-store and online at Hanley & Co - Paul & Shark. Paul and Shark is an Italian brand which was  founded by Paolo Dini who is the son of Gian Ludovico Dini. Gian is the owner of the mill Maglificio Daco. Here every aspect of production took place to create a clothing line. Prestigious partnerships with Christian Dior and Balenciaga enabled this clothing line to be shipped worldwide. In the 1970s Paolo was inspired by a Sail Makers workshop he attended and from here he went on to create the Yachting Collection. This collection started out as luxury sportswear and was inspired by the sea, the world of sailing and adventure. 

Now let’s take a closer look at some of our favourite pieces from the Paul & Shark collection that’s available in Hanley & Co.

This wool crew neck jumper by Paul & Shark is the perfect piece for summer. Even though it is made using wool it is still lightweight making it a great piece to have in your wardrobe to pop on in the evenings when the temperatures drop. It can be dressed up or dressed down depending on the occasion. It is a very versatile piece that will add a pop of colour to any outfit. 

This navy and white striped poplin shirt by Paul & Shark is another wardrobe essential. This piece is timeless which means that you will re-wear it time and time again. It is the perfect  piece to create a smart and sophisticated look. This shirt will look great styled with a pair of jeans or chinos depending on your preference. 

Another must-have piece for your summer wardrobe is a short sleeve shirt by Paul & Shark. This light blue, regular-fit short-sleeve shirt is perfect for creating a smart casual look in the summertime. It can be styled with a pair of shorts on holidays for exploring a new city or styled with a pair of chinos here in Ireland for wearing to work or for wearing during the weekend. 

Another essential for your summer wardrobe is this bomber jacket by Paul & Shark.  As Irish weather can be unpredictable even in the summer, a lightweight jacket such as this one is a must-have. It is perfect for creating a smart casual look and can be worn to the office or styled with a polo shirt and pair of chinos and trainers at the weekend. 

One of our most popular pieces in-store and online are polo shirts so we were delighted to see that Paul & Shark have many options to choose from depending on your style. This Pique Polo in navy and white is the perfect polo for summer. It is sophisticated yet fun with the stipes. It will look just as good styled with a pair of chinos as it would with a pair of shorts when the weather is really warm. It can also be dressed up or dressed down depending on the occasion. 

We really hope that you enjoyed this post and got an insight into the brand. View the entire Paul & Shark collection.
