Meet Quince: High-End Quality Without the High Price Tag

As much as we’d all like to prioritize luxury and sustainability when it comes to shopping, the reality is that doing so isn’t usually affordable. But Quince—launched in 2019 and formerly known as Last Brand—is changing that. Powered by a uniquely developed factory-direct model, Quince offers exceptionally high-quality staples for much lower prices than competitors, from linen sheets to luggage to silk PJs. Want to know how Quince does it? Ahead, we’re breaking down seven key things to know about the brand and why you should shop it.

What is the Quince Aesthetic?

Quince is for those who appreciate elevated simplicity. You’ll see neutral palettes, classic silhouettes, and premium fabrics that never go out of style. When it comes to the product lineup, Quince prioritizes high-quality essentials that bring enjoyment and luxury to everyday life—think leather goods, wardrobe essentials like tees, button-downs, and silk sleepwear, and home essentials like rugs, sheets, and towels. No product is overly patterned or branded, and each is made with the kind of keep-forever quality you’d usually only get for a high price.

A Brand That Believes Everyone Deserves a Touch of Luxury

Well-made products should be accessible to everyone, but this usually isn’t the case. "We started Quince to challenge the existing idea that nice things should cost a lot," said Sid Gupta, Co-Founder and CEO. "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.”

Quince focuses on high-quality essentials designed for everyday luxury. They skip fleeting trends and instead prioritize timeless, wearable pieces that stand the test of time.

Sustainability is Woven Into Quince’s DNA

Sustainability goes far beyond fabric, and Quince proves that. From manufacturing and materials to packing, shipping, and even design, the brand works to reduce environmental impact in every way. This means a commitment to responsible production and safe working conditions, keeping carbon emissions low by shipping directly from manufacturers, the use of eco-friendly dyes and materials (think cashmere, alpaca wool, organic cotton, organic linen, and 100% recycled polyester), and last but not least, timeless designs that are made to last regardless of trends.

To top it all off, Quince works hard to ensure that nothing is overproduced. “The magic here is we're not producing on-demand, but we're producing near just in time, which allows us to get scale and match supply and demand really tightly,” says Gupta.

Quince Pricing: A Commitment to Affordability

Thanks to Quince’s unique Manufacturer To Consumer model (M2C), the company takes products straight from the world’s leading suppliers to your door. This means skipping the massive markups typically associated with traditional brands and retailers. That $150 cashmere sweater you’ve been eyeing? It’ll cost around $50 at Quince, shipping directly from Mongolia. Italian leather bags are just $100 coming directly from Florence, and a set of Turkish spa towels from Izmir just $50.

The brand works with more than 30 of these factories across the world, ensuring that each one reflects the same high environmental and ethical values they hold.
