OUR STORY

Quince was started to challenge the existing idea that nice things should cost a lot. Our mission was simple: create an item of equal or greater quality than the leading luxury brands and sell them at a much lower price.

OUR VALUES

• High Quality. True quality is a combination of premium materials and high production standards that everyone can feel good about.

• Always a better deal. Through innovation and real price transparency we want to offer the best deal to both our customers and our factory partners.
• Environmentally and Socially conscious. We’re committed to sustainable materials and sustainable production methods. That means a cleaner environment and fair wages for factory workers.
