OUR VALUES

  • 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.

OUR TEAM AND SUCCESS

Quince is a retail and technology company co-founded by a team that has extensive experience in retail, technology, and building early-stage companies. You’ll work with a team of world-class talent from Stanford GSB, Google, D.E. Shaw, Stitch Fix, Urban Outfitters, Wayfair, McKinsey, Nike, etc.
