Our take
The rise in fast fashion has brought widespread awareness of the alarming waste of resources and the significant environmental impact caused by the industry. Recognizing these concerns, Quince is looking to address these issues and 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 middleman. The company focuses on providing wardrobe staples and home goods, with an emphasis on minimalism, simplicity, and timeless designs.
Quince 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, minimizing transportation and warehousing costs and as a result, providing customers with a more efficient and sustainable shopping experience.
