Thanks for your understanding of the implicit class bias inherent in most discussions of sustainability. Long ago quality construction in clothing was a given. So even budget items and synthetics were well sewn and designed to last. Natural fiber clothing was not a luxury it was ubiquitous. Over time in the digital age focus has shifted to "trends" instead of longevity. 35 years ago I was was buying the silk, cashmere and cotton items at affordable and reasonable prices now being thrifted by todays generation. I cannot find equivalent value in today's market. The cost of a well made cotton shirt is absurd. I'm glad you gave an objective review of Quince as I had been looking at the brand for a while.
I appreciate you going into detail about the construction quality as well. This is something that is so often overlooked in reviews but I need it! As I get older I try to invest a little bit more in more clothes so that they last and I can save money in the long run as well as have a more polished look.
Full disclosure, I just purchased two 100% Mongolian cashmere sweaters at a $60 price point from Quince. In comparison to other types of cashmere it’s not as heavy, but still has a nice soft feel. It’s a nice lightweight sweater but different than other brands of cashmere which explains the price point.
Thank you for your kind words! It means a lot to me that you enjoyed the video and understood the importance of not shaming others for their fashion choices.
Quince had a baby cashmere that I bought from last year. I wear it a lot and it doesn’t shed at all. The $50 does shed a little but so does Everlane’s at a higher price. In the winter my sweaters are basically all cashmere from Quince and a few from others, but I prefer Quince’s. And I really like what you said during the edit, it’s hard to buy nicer clothes within a lower income budget so this company does do that for many that I know ❤
No shedding? Quince's baby cashmere is like the superhero of sweaters, saving us from the annoyance of shedding wool! And I totally get what you mean about buying nicer clothes on a lower income budget even if they are not perfect when it comes to sustainability. It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack, but Quince is definitely the needle in this case!
Zara does sell 100% pure linen items with 100% cotton lining, so does H&M The real conversation that should be ongoing is how synthetic fibers destroy human health, animal health and the environmental health. Synthetic fibers should NOT be put on human body.
I'm in the same boat as you on pants. No more of those weird synthetic stretchy fibers. They end up getting destroyed in the wash regardless. Most of their pants have "ultra stretch" in the title, but they have some linen pants that look well made. I've been searching through their website for new pieces. The cotton and linen items look promising. I have been searching for reviews of their cashmere, so thank you for this!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I totally agree about ditching those synthetic fibers. I'm glad the cotton and linen options caught your eye-happy shopping!
