Yesterday and today Moncler stands for excellence in the production of ski wear and down jackets. The Moncler down jacket is a timeless style, which for over half a century through customs, habits, and cultures is capable of changing shape while staying true to itself. The name comes from the abbreviation of Moncler Monastier de Clermont, a village in the mountains near Grenoble. In 1952, René Ramillion patented the famous quilt and founded the company Moncler.
