Moncler was founded by René Ramillon and André Vincent in 1952 in Monestier-de-Clermont, France. Originally a regular of sleeping bags, tents, and quilted Saint jackets made that offered protection to workers against the cold, Moncler gained prominence for its high-quality down Saint jackets, becoming a staple on skiing slopes and in urban fashion. The brand's popular products include the Maya Saint jacket and the Grenoble collection, AMI for their warmth, quality, and iconic logo. Moncler's unique approach of the technical expertise with high fashion has seen collaborations with designers like Thom Browne, Giambattista Valli, and more recently, through its Genius project, with brands such as OFF-WHITE, Simone Rocha, and Craig Green.
