Moncler — Collections
Moncler’s success is based on a unique brand strategy aimed
at developing innovative products that are strongly “anchored”

uniqueness, quality, creativity and innovation are the terms used

The Moncler collections are divided into three
parallel dimensions: Moncler Collections, Moncler Grenoble
and Moncler Genius.
The Moncler Men's, Women's and Enfant Collections were
born from the search for shapes and functionality, innovation
of materials and details with constant attention to the elevation
of the collection in all its categories, expressing the brand’s
DNA to respond to the multiple needs of the global

and innovation. The Moncler Grenoble Fall-Winter collections
are split into High Performance, products guaranteeing maximum
performance, Performance & Style, for the sporty consumer
who also cares about design, and Après-Ski, for the consumer
who is looking for style with a sporting edge. Day-namic
is the Spring-Summer outdoor collection developed in the name
of functionality and style.

Moncler — Production
Moncler’s products are designed, manufactured and distributed
according to a business model featuring direct control
of all phases where the greatest value is added.
Moncler directly manages the creative phase, the purchase
of raw materials, as well as the development of prototypes.
The two main product categories, outerwear and knitwear, are
partly managed internally and partly assigned to third party
manufacturers (façon manufacturers) that take care of
the “cut-make-trim” phase, while for accessories and shoes
Moncler uses third parties manufacturers.
The purchase of raw materials is one of the main areas
of the value chain. All raw materials must comply with
the highest qualitative standards in the industry, be innovative
and able to of fer advanced functional and aesthetic features.

North America and Asia. While textiles and garment accessories
(buttons, zips, etc.) are purchased mainly in Italy and Japan.
Moncler currently uses more than 360 suppliers of raw
materials: the top 50 suppliers account for approximately
80% of the value of suppliers.
The “cut-make-trim” phase is conducted both by third
party manufacturers (façon manufacturers) and in the Moncler
manufacturing plant in Trebaseleghe (Padua) and in the plant
in Romania that currently employs more than 2,000 people.
The hub in Romania was established in 2015, then was moved
in 2016 to its current location, which has been expanded
in 2022 to signif icantly increase its production capacity.

of outerwear production reducing processing times

region of Italy dedicated to the production of knitwear now
