About Us



There is something very enchanting about the Italian way of living… Perhaps it’s the understanding that quality should never need to announce itself. That good style is timeless and that the things we choose to wear should be made well, worn often and enjoyed for years to come. 

It’s this philosophy that has shaped Gino Paoli for over two decades. 

Rooted in heritage and inspired by traditional Italian styling, Gino brings a sense of European sophistication to the South African market. Our collections balance classic design with a contemporary point of view, underpinned by the quality workmanship that has always been at the heart of the brand. 

We believe in doing things properly. In considered details, beautiful materials and shoes that feel as good as they look. Trends may come and go, but true style has a way of enduring. For over 20 years, Gino has brought a little piece of Italy to South Africa.  And we’re only getting started.
