Golden Goose, an Italian high fashion sneaker brand was the creation of two young Venetian designers Francesca Rinaldo and Alessandro Gallo who were both outsiders of the fashion industry. Founded in Venice, Italy in 2000, the brand combines a refined and modern style with a vintage feeling that is supported by the strong Italian sartorial tradition. The handmade shoes are individually distressed by the sneaker makers who attentively detail each shoe to create the vintage aesthetic and to create the “perfect imperfection” with the best quality.
