Quince - Recruiter (Apparel & Home)

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

  • Customer First: Customer satisfaction is our highest priority.
  • High Quality: True quality is a combination of premium materials and high production standards that everyone can feel good about.
  • Essential Design: We don’t chase trends, and we don’t sell everything. We’re expert curators that find the very best and bring it to you at the lowest prices.
  • 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.
