I was suckered into buying from Quince so you don’t have to

[Anonymous]

I have two Quince sweaters I absolutely love - the fisherman cotton sweater, which is my greatest workhorse sweater, and a linen cardigan. I bought an oversized cable cardigan that is just too big - I should have returned it.

I wouldn't buy cashmere from Quince, that said. The proliferation of cheap, low quality cashmere is a disaster from an animal welfare and environmental perspective. I mean, there is no GOOD overconsumption - but that's a bad place to get a cheap deal.

You can find gently used cashmere on all the resale sites - I'd go that route.

I have gotten pants, a cashmere sweater and a dress that I wear a lot and think the quality is great

The men’s cashmere is substantially thicker than the women’s. I love the hoodies for airplane travel.
I also like their silk pajamas, but some colors/styles are more matte and velvety.

The only items I can maintain long term are cashmere shawls / ponchos

Pilling is pretty easy to fix with a fabric shaver.

No matter what I do my cashmere sweaters tend to get moth holes within a year to a year and a half, so Quince cashmere’s pics is right to me for that reason. I’d like their cotton sweaters too.

Prices not pics

Is Quince a thing beyond Instagram ads? Or is that how everyone finds it? I am flooded with Quince ads, and that always makes me suspicious when I haven't heard of a company otherwise.

I bought a cardigan recently that I like. It’s actually a little too warm for the summer sweater I was aiming for. I’m saving it for the fall.

I've bought a lot of stuff from Quince and think it can be hit or miss.


Hits:
- Gold jewelry (the bold hoops are the earrings I have worn every day for over two years, my daughters wear the regular mini hoops all day every day including to the pool, I have a few rings that I like, etc.)
- Cotton cashmere sweaters (I wish they came in more colors)
- Leather bags
- Linen shorts
- Lightweight puffer - perfect for DC winters
- Mens fleece shirts - my husband loves these, so soft

Misses:
- Stretch silk runs very small and the fit is odd (on me, YMMV)
- Cashmere sweaters are thin and get holes easily (but then again, so did the ones I bought from Nordstrom at twice the price)
- Cashmere wrap sweater was such a weird, boxy shape
- Performance leggings - weird, shiny, thin fabric, I hated it

I agree that things are hit and miss, and some are personal preference.

I like their:

silk pajamas. They are dupes of Lunya and I don’t absolutely love the style, but for pajamas I don’t really care.
Cotton modal tees (for basic tees)
Cashmere short sleeve sweaters
Bike shorts
Workout top (don’t remember what style is called)

I don’t like their leggings, and I like the thickness of their joggers but mine pilled on the inside.

Or a cashmere comb. Amazon sells them.

I love the cotton sweaters and dresses that I have from Quince.

But I would not buy cheap cashmere from anywhere.

I bought the tiered sleeveless sundress last year. Love it and get lots of compliments.

Pilling isn't fixing, it is a process of destroying the garment slowly over time. The sweater isn't regenerating like skin on our face. Sweaters should not pill in the first place
