Today I’m sharing my Quince review. 

Quince has been one of the most exciting discoveries of the year for me. It seemed like I couldn’t go anywhere without hearing about the brand, and they GOT me with those IG ads. Finally, I had to see what the fuss was about. 

Last fall, I partnered with Quince on a couple of low-key gifted social media campaigns–my first foray into the brand. Since then, I have ordered a bunch of stuff for me, Tyler, and my daughters. 

In the last few months, I have received so many questions about Quince, all somewhere along the lines of: is Quince legit? And also: what’s the catch? 

In today’s post, I thought it would be fun to walk through every single item we have tried from Quince and my honest thoughts on everything. I will do my best to keep this updated as we continue to try things over the next year (I have my eye on the bedding next!). 

What is Quince? 

Quince is a direct-to-consumer online retailer that carries clothing, leather goods, fine jewelry, home decor, luggage, bedding, bath, and–somehow–more. The company is based in San Francisco and sources from 50 different manufacturers around the world. 

Quince has built a brand on the idea of “affordable luxury” in a multitude of product areas. Quince sources high quality goods from sustainable producers and brings these goods to their customers at affordable price points. Think: cashmere sweaters, silk skirts, linen bedding, and high-end looking leather bags. The pricing is, for the most part, extremely competitive for the quality which is what makes Quince stand out from so many other brands. 

Sustainability 

As described on their website, Quince partners with factories committed to ethical labor and sustainability practices. All of their products ship directly from their manufacturers to their customers. The packaging is minimal, and Quince works with organic, sustainable materials whenever possible. 

One of the core tenants of the brand is producing classic, timeless styles that their customers will wear and use for years, rather than ending up in a landfill at the end of the season. 

Quince Review: Everything I’ve tried from the brand so far

Quince Quality

Overall, I have been VERY impressed with Quince’s quality. Nearly everything I’ve ordered has lived up to the hype, and I still cannot believe some of the prices. Everything has been really well made, and the materials are amazing.

I think my only “complaint,” if pressed, is that I wish they carried more colors in each style. In fact, I wish they actually carried more styles in general, but I suppose this all goes back to their goal of being as sustainable as possible. 

Quince Sweater Review

Organic Cotton Boyfriend Crewneck Sweater – $49.99

I am kicking this list off with my most recent purchase: a lightweight cotton pullover sweater that is *perfect* for foggy spring and summer mornings. The material of this sweater feels really lux–you’d never guess this sweater coasts less than $50.

I bought this to wear with wide leg, flowy pants, shorts, and jeans alike this spring. It arrived last week, and I’ve worn it 3 times already–suffice it to say, I’ll get a ton of use out of this! I went with a Medium but probably could have sized down. (I also have my eye on the striped version which is a GREAT La Ligne dupe–so cute!).

Mongolian Cashmere Oversized Boyfriend Cardigan Sweater – $139.90

This was the number one thing I wanted to try from Quince last fall. This oversized cashmere sweater is nearly identical to Jenni Kayne’s cult-following cardigan, so I was very curious. This sweater is made of Grade A Mongolian Cashmere, and I was blown away by the quality when I first opened this. It feels like a cloud. 

I have worn this sweater at least once a week since last October. It is my favorite thing to throw on in the morning with leggings when I’m taking the kids to school or working from home. I’ve worn it with jeans, tied over my shoulders as a make-shift scarf, over a tee, open with a tank, you get the idea. I have it in the Oatmeal color and got a medium. As you might imagine, this style runs big, so I probably could have gone down to a small. 

The sweater has pilled a bit over the last few months, but I think that is fairly normal for cashmere as it is so delicate. One thing to note is this item is dry clean only. 

Mongolian Cashmere Fisherman Cropped Cardigan Sweater – $119.90

After wearing the above boyfriend cardigan so much, I decided to try out the cropped version in the chocolate brown color. This sweater is cut shorter but keeps the same effortless, oversized look as the boyfriend cardigan.

I have worn this with jeans and trousers, usually with a white or striped tank or tee layered underneath. I’ve found this version slightly easier to style when I’m actually “getting dressed” simply because it is less bulky and therefore is easier to layer and feel put together. 

Mongolian Cashmere Oversized Crewneck Sweater – $119.90

Quince’s cashmere crewneck sweater has been an absolute workhorse in my wardrobe this past winter. There are a million and one ways to wear a grey crewneck sweater, and the soft cashmere makes any outfit feel cozy but elevated.

The fit is also oversized: I got this in a medium too but probably could have done a small as well. 

Cashmere Scarf – $49.90

I wanted to recreate Favorite Daughter’s chic matching sweater and scarf duo, so I grabbed Quince’s cashmere scarf in Heather Grey to pair with my crewneck sweater.

I love how these look together, and the scarf is so cozy. I have my eye on the larger wrap version for travel too. 

Quince Clothing Review

Washable Stretch Silk V-Neck Cami – $39.90

I absolutely love Quince’s washable silk cami. The material is made from 90% mulberry silk and 10% spandex which adds a comfortable stretch to the fabric. This is one item that Quince does carry in a ton of colors, each more beautiful than the last. The straps are adjustable, and the length is generous enough to easily be tucked in. 

I have the Forest Green which is stunning.  I love how versatile this cami is. I have worn this under blazers for church, my leather jacket for date nights, and under my Quince cashmere sweaters when I’m feeling a little fancy.

100% Washable Silk Mini Skirt – $49.90

This silk skirt is so much fun, and it’s a perfect example of a style that a brand like Reformation would sell for well over $100. Quince nailed this skirt: it’s flirty and sexy but not too short. I got it in black in a Medium and would say it runs pretty true to size. 

Vintage Wash Tencel Maxi Slip Dress – $59.90

I got this dress because it looked like an exact dupe for Jenni Kayne. I love the style; however, I don’t reach for it as often as I thought I would. There is no slit, and although the material is silky-soft, there isn’t much give. As silly as this sounds, it’s really hard for me to get in and out of the car in this dress! I have to hike it way up to step into the car which, to me, gets a little annoying. 

100% European Linen Sleeveless Swing Dress – $59.90

I was very torn on this linen dress. I loved the gathered seams along the front, a detail that makes this dress seem way more expensive than it is. However, I felt like the bottom of the dress flared out in a sort of weird way that looked a bit off on me. I ended up returning it.

100% Organic Cotton Sleeveless Maxi Dress – $69.90

I purchased this dress because it looked like a dead ringer for Jenni Kayne, but I returned this one too. The top was flattering, but the skirt portion was double lined and felt really bulky.

100% European Linen Shorts – $29.90

These shorts are great, and you can’t beat the price. I ordered the oatmeal/black stripe color and am keeping them. These are going to save me on warm days this summer and will be easy to pair with a tee or tank top. They run a tiny bit big.

Quince Jewelry Review

Of all Quince’s product areas, I think their fine jewelry offering is what I am most impressed by and excited about. The collection is simple and timeless, very much targeting the same girls who love Mejuri, Cat Bird, and the like (it’s me).

14K Gold Everyday Hoops – $89.90

I ordered these 25mm hoops for myself back in February, as I had been looking for an ultra-lightweight hoop that I could wear every day. I don’t feel these in my ears AT ALL and have been super happy with them. These come in 4 different sizes and are made with solid 14k gold. 

When I ordered these, the 25 mm cost $74.99, so it looks like they raised the price in the last few months. I did a little deep dive and compared the price of the Quince hoops to a few brands who carry a similar style of solid gold hoop. Mejuri’s 25mm solid gold thin hoops cost $128. Gorjana’s 22mm solid gold hoops cost $360, and their 30mm size costs $410. Made by Mary only carries one size of their “Live In” hoops in solid gold: 12mm (very tiny), and these cost $98. Even with the price increase, Quince comes through with the most competitive price on a luxury item.

14K Gold Pave Diamond Bar Stack Band – $179.90

Call me a sociopath, but I keep a running note on my phone with gift ideas for myself. I shared this note with Tyler years ago, and once in a blue moon, he’ll surprise me with a “just because” gift from my list. I know, I know. I will keep him. 

He surprised me with this gorgeous pave diamond bar stacking band from my list last month. I love it SO much. I originally saw this style in the Mejuri store–thier version cost $350, so you can imagine how pleased I was to find that Quince carried a similar ring just under $180. This ring is so delicate and sparkly and makes me so happy every time I look down at it. 

A couple of other things on my Quince jewelry wishlist? Their 14K Petite Valentino Chain Necklace and the 14 Gold Diamond Dot Ring. 

Other Quince items we’ve tried 

Australian Shearling Clog Slipper – $49.90

These slippers are a glorious dupe for the Ugg Tasman slipper–to me, they are nearly indistinguishable. I have been so pleased with these this year and definitely recommend them. 

Men’s Micromodal Boxer Briefs (3 Pack) – $39.90

I got these briefs for Tyler’s Christmas stocking because they seemed identical to the Calvin Kleins he wears. He says they are just as soft, but he doesn’t love how thick the waistband is. Thank you, Tyler, for this thorough commentary. 

Toddler Girls Organic Cotton Fit and Flare Pocket Dress (2 Pack) – $39.90

I got each of the girls a set of these dresses a few weeks ago, and they are darling. I like that the material is a little thicker and sturdier than what you’ll find at H&M and Target. The style and material actually reminds me a lot of Alice + Ames but much cheaper.
