I like my quince sweaters a lot. TBF, I’ve never owned cashmere before. But the quince sweaters I bought are very warm and soft and I’ve been happy with them.

15.8 – 16.2 micron thickness, 12 gauge, 34-36mm fiber length creates a super soft hand feel

I think it really depends on the product. Agree that the cashmere is crap but the jewelry and bedding are both really nice. I have had a quilt for two years that I love.

There was a big article in maybe the NYT awhile ago about cheap cashmere and how it’s not worth it. I wouldn’t buy their cashmere but I have bought other stuff from Quince (tees, one of the cotton sweaters) and it’s decent. They do run “short” though if you are taller or have a long torso.

I have been happy with all my quince purchases but I don’t buy their cashmere.

The only items I can maintain long term are cashmere shawls / ponchos
Pilling is pretty easy to fix with a fabric shaver.
Can you recommend one? I have more of a comb and it doesn't do much

I ordered linen sheets and down pillows from quince and was pretty happy

Well I can confirm that yes, yes it is trash and not even worth your effort to click checkout.
I purchased this Mongolian cashmere sweater tee in “minimal pink”. It was more like minimal threads. This thing was very, very thin. Think tissue t-shirt but a little thinner material. That would be this.

So no matter how alluring those ads look, the low prices and those supposed 5 star reviews, don’t be suckered like I was.
There was one positive - it was easy to return and get a refund.
If it seems too good to be true …

They barely pill and I've had some for a decade and you can ship them back for repair; the lost art of not wasting money on fast fashion. My 10 year old ones look very much like new and they definitely are worth it in how they look and feel.
10 is a lot of cashmere sweaters! One every year?

Ordered a pair of linen pants—terrible. Granted they are white, but they are so cheap and see through. Old Navy has better quality.

Thank you! Confirms my skepticism of DTC Instagram brands.
