If you want to check that your Moncler item (down jacket, sweatshirt, coat ...) is authentic, you're in the right place! Stay until the end to be sure you have all the information! With more than 5 years of experience in second-hand fashion, we have tried to summarize here the key elements to authenticate your Moncler item
1. Quality materials:
Moncler down jackets are made from premium materials, including high-quality feathers and down. The outer fabric is durable but lightweight, often made of nylon, which provides both good protection from the cold and a smooth finish. If the jacket feels too light or the fabric feels cheap, this is a warning sign.
2. Precise seams:
The stitching on a Moncler down jacket should be impeccable. No irregularities, no loose threads, and the stitching is always straight. Sloppy or irregular stitching is an indicator of counterfeiting.
3. Logo:
The Moncler logo is another key element. It is often sewn on the sleeve or chest and must be perfectly embroidered, with clean and well-aligned colors. No shifts, burrs or excess threads should be visible. The Moncler logo is a distinctive sign and must be checked carefully.
4. Compliant labels:
Moncler labels provide precise information, such as size, composition, and place of production (often in Europe, mainly Italy). They also include a QR code or hologram to verify the authenticity of the product on the official Moncler website. Counterfeits often omit these details or use poor quality labels.
Here are some pictures of authentic labels:
5. Zippers:
Moncler uses quality zippers, often from the YKK or Lampo brand (marked on the back of the zipper pull) . These zippers are sturdy, slide easily, and often feature the Moncler logo on the zipper pull. If the zipper feels flimsy or has no distinct logo, it could be a fake.
6. Buttons and other accessories:
Moncler pays special attention to the details of the buttons, cords and other accessories on the down jacket. The buttons are often engraved with the brand name and must be firmly fixed. As for the drawstrings, they are sturdy and well finished.
7. QR Code/Hologram:
Since 2013, Moncler has integrated a hologram with a QR code inside its down jackets. This code can be scanned to confirm the authenticity of the item directly on the official Moncler website. The absence of this code or the presence of a poor quality hologram is an indicator of counterfeiting.
Here are the 3 types of QR Code that you can check on the Moncler code website ( https://code.moncler.com/ ):
8. Storage bag:
Moncler down jackets often come with a high-quality storage bag, also bearing the Moncler logo. The bag should be in perfect condition, with clean stitching and no signs of wear or poor quality.
In summary, as with Jacquemus, it is crucial to pay attention to every detail when checking out a Moncler down jacket. The materials, labels and logo must always comply with the brand's high quality standards.
How to spot a counterfeit:
There are a few clues that can help you spot a counterfeit when buying online, so you have to be very careful: Fakes are everywhere (except on Le Saptuaire)
- Price too low : If the price seems too good to be true, there's a good chance the item is fake.
- Dubious sales platforms : Avoid little-known or non-specialized sites, which do not provide guarantees of authenticity.
- Lack of traceability : An authentic Moncler product is usually accompanied by a certificate of authenticity or official proof of purchase.
Second-hand clothing: buy authentic products at knockdown prices
With the democratization of second-hand clothing consumption, it is becoming easier and easier to buy used Moncler items. However, the risk of coming across counterfeits is high. It is therefore crucial to check all the details of the garment. Also make sure that the seller presents guarantees and collects positive evaluations.
To do this, there is nothing better than ordering from The Saptuary ;)
