Moncler QR Code and NFC Authenticity Label Explained
What Moncler's authenticity label and code.moncler.com do, how to scan the NFC tag or type the code, why older items may lack NFC, and what a result means.
Quick answer
Moncler's authenticity label carries a unique alphanumeric code and, on newer garments, an NFC tag that Moncler says can be verified at code.moncler.com, a site it manages directly. The site asks you to scan the NFC tag with your phone, or to log in and type the code manually if the tag will not read. A result speaks to the label, so the garment it is sewn into still has to agree.
Buyers often ask whether a Moncler NFC scan proves a jacket is real, or whether a tag that will not scan means it is fake. This guide explains what Moncler says its label and code.moncler.com do, how to use them, and why the result is one piece of evidence rather than a verdict.
What Moncler says its authenticity label is
Moncler's 2020 consolidated non-financial statement said that all Moncler products featured an anti-counterfeiting system built on RFID technology, with a unique alphanumeric code, a QR code and an NFC tag that can be verified at code.moncler.com, a site Moncler manages directly.
Its 2024 annual report says Moncler began enhancing this authenticity and traceability system in 2021, and that it is now characterized by a unique alphanumeric code and an NFC tag. Moncler says scanning the tag with a smartphone or tablet gives the consumer immediate feedback on the garment.
Because Moncler has changed the system over time, genuine labels from different years may not look the same.
What to look for on the garment
Look for the label that carries Moncler's printed alphanumeric code. Depending on its version, the label may also show a QR code, and newer versions include the NFC tag that code.moncler.com asks you to scan.
The public code.moncler.com page does not show where the label sits on each product, so check the interior labels carefully. When buying secondhand, ask the seller to photograph the label in place on the garment, not detached or on its own.
Do not cut into seams or linings to search for a tag.
How to run the check the way Moncler describes it
Open code.moncler.com and confirm the address is exactly that domain. The page asks you to scan the NFC tag to verify authenticity, and Moncler describes the scan as done with a smartphone or tablet.
If the tag will not read, the site says you can log in or register and type the code manually. That route moves through steps named Login/Register, Select label, Insert Code, Your Product, and Thank You.
Moncler's 2020 description also listed a QR code as part of the label. If you scan one, confirm that the page it opens is code.moncler.com before entering any details.
- Turn on NFC reading if your phone requires it, and remove a thick case if it interferes.
- Hold the phone still over the label for a few seconds, since reading positions differ between phones.
- Record the scan as one continuous video that shows the label on the garment and then the result.
- The manual route requires an account with your name, country, and email, so read Moncler's privacy policy first.
What a result means and what it does not
Moncler presents the check as feedback on the garment linked to that label. It is a useful brand-run signal about the label itself, and it carries the most weight when the label is clearly original to the garment.
A label is a separate component. It can be removed from a genuine garment and sewn into another one, and a printed code can be copied, so a result does not by itself confirm the jacket, vest, or coat it is attached to.
If the result displays product information, compare it with the model, color, and size in front of you. Any mismatch is a reason for closer review.
Tag will not scan, no tag, or an older item
Press coverage in April 2016, including Fortune and Fashionista, reported that Moncler would add the chips starting with its spring/summer 2016 collection. A genuine piece made before then would not be expected to have an NFC tag, so an older label without one is not a sign of a fake on its own.
Moncler's system also changed from 2021, so label designs differ across recent years too. A tag can fail to read because of phone position or settings, and Moncler offers manual code entry for that case.
If neither route works, treat it as a reason to ask more questions and gather more evidence, not as a verdict.
How the label check fits a complete review
Use the check alongside the exact model and version, the shell and quilting, the logo patch, interior and care labels, hardware, condition, and the seller's evidence. The result carries the most weight when all of these agree.
If you already paid for a counterfeit, Moncler says that where necessary it prepares expert reports for customers seeking to recover the payment from their electronic payment provider.

Common questions
What readers ask about this topic
Does a Moncler NFC scan prove my jacket is real?
Not on its own. Moncler says the scan gives immediate feedback on the garment, but a label can be moved to another garment and a code can be copied, so the jacket itself must also match.
What if my Moncler NFC tag will not scan?
code.moncler.com says you can log in or register and type the code manually. Check your phone's NFC setting and position first, and treat a failed check as a reason for closer review rather than a verdict.
Do older Moncler jackets have NFC?
Press reports from 2016 said chip-based labels would start with the spring/summer 2016 collection, so earlier genuine pieces would not be expected to have them. Moncler also says it began enhancing the system in 2021.
Is the Moncler QR code the same as the NFC check?
Moncler's 2020 description listed a QR code, an alphanumeric code, and an NFC tag as parts of one system, while its current check page asks for the NFC scan or the manual code. Make sure any QR code opens code.moncler.com.
Where do I verify a Moncler code?
At code.moncler.com, which Moncler says it manages directly. Be cautious with other websites or apps that claim to check Moncler codes.
