On November 25th, a Milan, Italy based clothing company opened its doors at The Shops at The Bravern in downtown Bellevue. Originating in 1952, Moncler is a French-Italian apparel manufacturer launched by René Ramillon and noted for its down jackets and sportswear, including accessories.
Moncler’s name is derived from the abbreviation of Monestier-de-Clermont, an Alpine town near Grenoble, France. In 2003, the brand was acquired by Italian entrepreneur Remo Ruffini.
Occupying the former Anthropologie retail store at the second story of The Bravern, Moncler takes up 2,418 sq ft.
The boutique was designed by the world renowned husband and wife team, Gilles & Boissier, a Parisian firm that has applied sophisticated ease to marketing Moncler’s fashionable winter wear.
