Golden Goose was founded by Alessandro Gallo and Francesca Rinaldo in 2000. The Venetian brand started as an Italian footwear line 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 long-sleeve clothing, accessories, and footwear like boots in addition to their iconic distressed sneakers, all made in Italy.
