"Quince, a company that has built its entire identity around selling familiar-looking wardrobe staples - cashmere sweaters, leather bags, silk slip dresses, etc. - at prices that feel suspiciously low. A report by once described the brand as a "one-stop dupe shop for a new generation of discerning, albeit weary, consumers." In other words: Millennials who like nice things but are increasingly unwilling to overpay for them."
"If you've read any of my work, you might know I've written a lot about luggage, and that I have a well-documented soft spot for Rimowa. I want one. Badly. But despite my having tested a frankly ludicrous number of carry-ons over the years, the Rimowa still eludes me. Mostly because their most basic aluminum model starts at $1,400."
Quince has built its business model around selling familiar wardrobe essentials and accessories at surprisingly low prices, targeting cost-conscious consumers who desire quality items without premium price tags. The company offers products like cashmere sweaters, leather bags, and silk slip dresses at prices that seem suspiciously affordable compared to luxury alternatives. The brand appeals to millennials seeking quality goods without overpaying. The author, who has extensively tested luggage and admires Rimowa's aluminum carry-ons priced at $1,400, discovered that Quince produces a visually similar aluminum carry-on at a fraction of the cost. Despite initial skepticism about purchasing from discount retailers, the author's experience with the Quince aluminum carry-on has been surprisingly positive.
