Moncler was originally founded in France in 1952. Over the course of the years the brand has merged style with ongoing technological research, which harnesses the knowledge of mountaineering experts. Moncler collections combine extreme needs with day-to-day city life.  Moncler directly produces and distributes their own clothing and accessories collections through their direct boutiques and the world’s most exclusive department and multibrand stores. In 2014, Moncler had a network of 172 stores worldwide having locations in Italy, EMEA, Asia, and the Americas.
