Is Quince Legit? Our Editors Share Which Items They’ve Tried—and Loved

If you ask us where to find affordable workwear or quality home goods, one common answer you’ll get from us is Quince. Once you start browsing the website, you’ll probably have a few questions pop into your mind, like “Is Quince legit,” or even “What is Quince?” 

Check out some items, and you’ll notice that each one has a traditional price, an implied markup, and the Quince price, which is drastically discounted. The traditional price is what you would commonly pay at any other retailer for a similar item, but since Quince eliminates the middleman and works directly with manufacturers and warehouses, it can provide you with luxury goods at unbeatable prices.

We don’t blame you for still remaining skeptical, so we asked our editors to share their favorite recent buys from Quince. Our editors have tested and loved items like cashmere sweaters, linen box quilts, and beyond. Check out their most recommended picks below.

Editor-Approve Quince Buys

Washable Silk Mini Skirt

“I wear this at least once a week, no matter the season. It pairs perfectly with a T-shirt and sandals in the summertime and can be dressed up with any of my flowier blouses. In the wintertime, I’m pairing this with fleece-lined pantyhose and a turtleneck for the office. Despite the many times it’s been washed, the quality has stayed just the same as when I initially got it!” – Neha Tandon, Shopping Editor

Italian Leather Box Shoulder Bag

“I’m planning my vacation wardrobe for an upcoming trip to Paris, and this crossbody bag may be made from Italian leather, but I can’t unsee it draped across my shoulder paired with an oversized white button-down, these mule heels (also from Quince!), and the Eiffel Tower in the background.” – Steph Osmanski, Home Commerce Writer 

Ultra-Stretch Ponte Straight Leg 4-Pocket Pants

“If you’re shopping for comfortable dress pants to wear to the office and beyond, these are it. They’re made from 67 percent rayon, 28 percent nylon, and 5 percent spandex, and I was amazed by how easy they were to move in during a 12-hour day on my feet. I scored the pull-on pants in my typical size, and I found that it worked perfectly.” – Carly Totten, Senior Shopping Writer

Italian Leather Tall Zip Top Tote

“Not only is this bag chic, but it’s also spacious. I use it every day, whether I’m headed to the coffee shop with my laptop or picking up a few things from the store. I love the way the real leather looks (and smells!) and much prefer the vertical design to the bulkiness of a wide tote. There’s also a convenient inner pocket for my wallet, lip gloss, and keys.” – Taylor Rock, Senior Editor

European Linen Box Quilt

“I was looking for a quality quilt that came in a nice accent color while also being made from a natural material that wouldn’t overheat my husband and me (we’re hot sleepers). This linen quilt was the perfect fit! I love the box stitching, which adds some texture to our bedding, and it’s a great weight that feels substantial without overheating us. We use it year-round and haven’t experienced any sweating (although it does have a polyester fill). I’ve washed the quilt multiple times, and it’s held up incredibly well with no loose stitching or holes. We have the terracotta color, and it gives our bedroom a relaxed, earthy vibe that I love to relax in after a long day.” – Laura Miller, Editorial Director

Mongolian Cashmere Crewneck Sweater

“I have sensitive skin, so many sweaters are too itchy for me to wear. But this Quince cashmere sweater is so soft. The crewneck is the perfect classic style to wear with jeans, trousers, skirts, and pretty much anything else you can think of. Plus, it’s super affordable for cashmere.” – Lauren Taylor, Shopping Writer

Merino Wool Cropped Shirt Jacket

“I’m all about a versatile shacket, and this wool version is it. I’m short, so the cropped cut hits right above my hips and looks super sleek while keeping me warm when I’m out and about. I had no idea wool could feel this soft. I like to wear this open to show off my top underneath, but it still makes me feel so cozy in the winter.” – Wendy Vazquez, Shopping Writer
