What We Do
We started Quince to challenge the existing idea that nice things should cost a lot. Our mission is simple: create an item of equal or greater quality than the leading luxury brands at a much lower price.
We did this by revising every part of a traditional retailer's playbook. We cut out all the middlemen and managed every element of the item's creation ourselves, including packaging and transportation.
The end result: Quince goods are incredibly high quality, made in a sustainable way, and sold at radically lower prices. We hope you’ll compare our products with any premium branded ones, and see why our customers rate Quince so highly.
Quince has raised $65 MM from Insight, Founders Fund, 8VC, Basis Set Ventures., and Luggard Road.
