WHAT IS SPECIAL IN MONCLER
August 2nd 2006
DUVET Duvet means down in French and comes primarily from aquatic birds raised in the south of Brittany and Perigord. Here the climate and land, with its wealth
of
rivers
and
lakes,
stimulate the production of down by animals, allowing producers to certify the origin of the birds and follow the proper techniques for removing the down. August 2nd 2006
Before being utilized, the down goes through a rigorous processing that guarantees cleanliness and hygiene. This includes the phases of sorting, dusting, washing (one raw kilo requires 700 to 800 liters of water), disinfecting, rinsing, centrifuging and drying (in an oven heated to over 100°C)
August 2nd 2006
Down is composed of two elements. The first includes tufts and barbules: parts of the plumage taken from the breast and below the wings of the birds. The second is plumules, similar to feathers but much smaller and softer. The composition percentage of the different elements is defined by regulation AFNOR G 32003, which classifies down as 4/3/2/1 tufts. Moncler uses duvet neuf, that is down with four tufts which is the best quality on the market. The composition percentage in fact determines its puffiness and thermal insulation, guaranteeing the garment 85% of their insulating power and a unique lightness

Over fifty years of experience in handling down has allowed Moncler to establish specific filling coefficient for garment with a mathematically precise ration between the square centimetres of surface area of the garment and the down contained in it, according to the characteristics of the fabric and different stylistic needs.

HISTORY
Moncler gets its name from MONestier de CLERmont, a resort located a few kilometres from Grenoble. Right there in April 1952 Renè Ramillon and Andrè Vincent set up Moncler S.A.
