About the Company

Quince is an affordable luxury brand that sells high-quality fashion and home goods at radically low prices-- direct from the factory floor. The company has pioneered a manufacturer-to-consumer (M2C) retail model in which factories produce inventory on a near just-in-time basis and ship their goods directly to consumers' doorsteps, cutting out financial and environmental waste. Quince is headquartered in San Francisco, CA and partners with more than 50 top manufacturers around the world. Most recently, Quince completed a $77 million Series B upround raise. The investment was led by Wellington Management with participation from GGV Capital, and continuing participation from Basis Set Ventures, Insight Partners, Lugard Road, and 8VC.
