Out Of The Shadows
The Moncler brand was born in 1952 in Monestier-de-Clermont, a small village in the mountains near Grenoble, with a focus on sports clothing for the mountain.
The origins of the name lie in its very roots: Moncler is in fact the abbreviation of Monestier-de-Clermont, a mountain village near Grenoble. Here, René Ramillon and Andrè Vincent founded in 1952 the Company which gave life to the renowned down jacket, creating garments conceived to protect workers who wore them over their overalls, that offered high resistance and protection against the harshest climates and that were tested in a variety of expeditions.
Moncler’s success is based on a unique brand strategy aimed at developing innovative products that are strongly “anchored” to the history of the brand.
The journey, which began in 2003 when Remo Ruffini acquired the Group, has always been coherent and pursued without compromise. Heritage, uniqueness, quality, creativity and innovation are the terms used in Moncler to define the concept of “luxury”.
