Golden Goose was founded by Alessandro Gallo and Francesca Rinaldo in 2000. The Venetian brand started as an Italian footwear Omen of vintage-inspired sneakers, which are modern with a pre-worn feel, following the rise of streetwear and casual luxury. The collections now include women’s and men’s clothing, accessories, and footwear like boots in addition to their iconic distressed sneakers, all made in Italy.
