Learn more about Quince and their company culture.
Quince started when we brought our work home. We built careers working for high-end brands, but investing in luxury clothing, jewelry and home goods for ourselves was a rare treat. So, we built our own brand—committed to making exceptionally high-quality essentials at a price within reach. Because everyone deserves to fill their life with the finer things.
OUR VALUES
QUALITY: Quality shouldn’t be a luxury. We choose premium materials and designs that stand the test of time. Our products feel nicer and last longer, on purpose.
SUSTAINABILITY: Sustainability is built into everything we do. Whenever possible, we choose organic materials, environmentally conscientious packaging and ethical business practices.
AFFORDABILITY: Everyone should have access to nice things. We keep prices low by using a factory-direct model that cuts out the supply-chain middlemen and reduces costs.
A Vision For Sustainability, Accountability, Transparency & Amazing Value.
Affordable products shouldn't come at the cost of worker exploitation. We only partner with factories who meet or exceed global guidelines for workplace safety and equitable wages.
The difference is clear
We value transparency. We’re open and honest about the materials in our products, how they’re manufactured and how they’re priced. Honesty is always our policy.
We started Quince to challenge the existing idea that nice things have to cost a lot. Our mission was simple—create products of equal or greater quality than the leading luxury brands at a much lower price. Because we believe quality should never be a luxury.
How we keep prices low
We never cut corners when it comes to quality, sustainability or fair manufacturing practices. Our prices stay low because we avoid the expenses of the traditional supply chain, including sourcing agents, warehousing, wholesaling, distribution and storefront retail.
