THE ORIGINS
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 the Company in 1952, which would go on to produce the renowned down jacket, creating garments conceived to protect workers who wore them over their overalls and that offered high resistance and protection against the harshest climates and that were put to the test in a variety of expeditions.
