Originally founded in the French alpine town of Monestier-de-Clermont, Moncler covers all the bases — from extreme sports to day-to-day city living. With a history steeped in cold-weather protection, it’s no wonder that the label’s signature down jackets are loved by mountaineers and fashion loyalists alike. The company was bought in 2003 by Remo Ruffini, and has since become a cold-weather go-to for quilted puffer jackets, knitwear and accessories.
