Our take
Recently, there has been more widespread awareness of the alarming waste of resources and environmental impact caused by the fast fashion industry. Recognizing these concerns, Quince is looking to offer a more sustainable alternative to consumers.
Quince is a direct-to-consumer brand that offers high-quality products at lower prices by cutting out the middlemen. The company provides wardrobe staples and home goods, with an emphasis on minimalism, simplicity and timeless designs.
The company works directly with factories to produce inventory on a near-just-in-time basis. By eliminating unnecessary intermediaries, Quince can streamline the supply chain and reduce financial and environmental waste.
This approach allows Quince to ship goods directly to consumers' doorsteps, providing a more efficient and sustainable shopping experience. This has proven very popular, allowing the company to raise significant funding, reach a valuation of $4.5 billion and expand to Canada.
