Golden Goose was founded in 2000 by Francesca Rinaldo and Alessandro Gallo in Marghera, near Venice. Starting out in a garage, they created unisex clothing – each piece a handcrafted original, inspired by travel and personal history. Their breakthrough came with a skirt made from old jeans. This was followed by the iconic Golden Boots and later the legendary Super-Star sneakers with their signature "lived-in" look – worn, individual, and authentic.
