Luxury for Less | Fall Luxury Alternative Haul | Quince Bags and Clothing Try On Haul | Bottega Dupe
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 жов 2024
- I've been seeing a ton of Instagram ads on Quince and have been apprehensive about trying this brand out since I did not have a good experience with Italic. But I decided to take the plunge since they have a really flexible return policy. I am not sponsored as I did pay for all these items with my own money so this is my honest review on their cashmere sweaters, dress, skirt, leather jacket, and bags. Are they worth the hype? Is it really a worthy luxury alternative?

I have 4 Quince sweaters-they are amazing! Cashmere and cotton cashmere mix. They are my go to items-classic, well made, reasonably priced. Great travelers. Love this company!
Thanks for sharing!
I bought my first bag from Quince earlier this year (woven leather crossbody) during a flash sale. I really like it but honestly, I’m glad it was on sale. I definitely want to try their cashmere and silk and sheets. I recommend being an email subscriber so you get notified of any flash sales.
Love Quince! Everything I’ve purchased has been amazing quality and has held up very well.
Glad to hear positive feedback too!
It's sheep skin leather. Bottega may use nappa/ lamb skin. As someone that used to work in high end luxury retail I have seen the wholesale prices of designer items. Trust when I tell you there isn't much of a difference in the cost of materials to justify the markup- and most of the leathers are done in the same tanneries and shipped off to the same factories for assembly. The suede bucket bag that i recently purchased from them is comparable to my suede Ferragamo and Fendi bags.
Most of what you are paying for is the experience. The prices on Quince are close to the wholesale prices of many designer brands during the period I spent working in the industry. There was never less than a 300% markup. Obviously, depending on the brand the markup would be higher.
I said all of that to say, though Quince doesn't have resale value, because they don't really have a cult community...you get luxury quality goods that last without the markup.
So the question is if you want to turn a profit on resale or do you want to take those savings and use them elsewhere while still getting a luxury quality leather?
Yes it was buttery soft. I would say the construction is definitely not nearly as good as Bottega but for 150 bucks? I can't complain. Yes the mark up on these luxury items are astronomical but then again, i get it. There are a lot of people to pay with big companies.
You're absolutely right. Zero resale value but if you do the math, the amount you pay for big luxury, cost per wear, then what capital you can get back from the bag...it's questionable at best lol
I'm pretty sure that the packages arrive at different times because they come directly from the manufacturer
I love Quince. Everything I have bought from them has been good quality. PS I bought a washable silk top from them. It washes well. Needs to be steamed after drying. I line dried it. It is gorgeous. I have two bags from them, a cresent shaped one and one that is similar to the YSL Sunset bag. l have bought linen sheets, table cloth, Mongolian cashmere sweater (it does pill), and 2 organic cotton fishermen sweaters. LOVE them all with the exception of the YSL dupe. It didn't seem as quality as the first bag I bought. Is pretty and will be good for day use, at that price I don't care if it gets beat up.
Thanks for letting me know! The maxi silk skirt will be next on my list. Feels much nicer than the satin cheapy ones I bought on amazon. I will have to explore other categories they have.
I have had the absolute best experience with Quince. I've purchased 4 dresses, 3 purses, and 2 pair of pants. The quality on each item has been fantastic and i have been so happy with each purchase. Granted I've only been purchasing from them in the past year, so maybe they have improved over time.
That's the best news, if a company takes customer feedback and change things on their end. It will only help them grow!
Dear your camera needs adjusting. Otherwise good information.
Hi. Thank you for unboxing. Quince shipping package by box or just plastic bag? Thank you
Hello! The purses came in boxes while the clothing came in shipping bags
I’ve been buying from quince for a couple of years now. I’ve ordered everything from kids clothing to luggage and rugs, and overall, I feel it’s excellent quality for the price. The luggage in terms of quality is on par with some luxury brands, but much more affordable. I prefer jcrew’s linen but quince’s silk and cashmere have worked for me. I love their silk pjs also. Their workout clothes have been so durable. Ihave that same sweater in a few colors and I absolutely love it also. My rug is 100% wool and was under$1k! I constantly get compliments on it.
Quince is definitely a one stop shop for you! I'm glad to hear that. There has been a lot of mixed feelings about this brand. Thanks for sharing!
I hope your channel grows because you are so great at it! Thank you so much for sharing! 👍😃sweater looks so quality
awww thanks so much! I'm trying!
I’ve bought leather jackets, linen items, shoes, and 12 sweaters and they have been amazing quality.
I've purchases three of the woven cresent bags (black, cognac and taupe). I also ordered matching wallets and the triple compartment small tote. All four have held up great. So have the wallets. I have used them multiple times for the past 6 months and I'd say the quality is very good. I also ordered three of the zip up hoodies and was very pleased with the quality of those as well. Two years ago, I bought a pair of black pants I just remembered, and they were also very good. I've always had good luck and will continue to purchase from them.
thanks for sharing! It's good to hear exactly what pieces worked for you.
I have loved everything I have ordered from Quince. This year I bought a long single button long Italian wool coat in navy. I sew garment, so I KNOW good quality, and this coat is immaculate in all the tailoring details, and fit.
Thank you for letting us know from your professional perspective! I can't sew a button. The only thing I can sew are my dogs ripped up toys and they end up looking like frankenstein 😂😂😂
@@Somehowadulting I sew together my dogs toys as well --- AND my nurseryman husbands work clothes he constantly rips up!! I call them Frankenstein clothes. 😝🤣🤣
I got linen sheets and a pair of ponte pants from Quince almost three years ago, both still holding up very well! I liked that the pants were offered with a longer inseam.
I'm going to have to look into their home goods!! Thanks for sharing!
Cashmere tee Camel color that I just got from Quince isn’t see through at all. It is probably just white tee that is little see though.
The cut on that short sleeve was mediocre...The long sleeve one was much better!
I love the linen pieces from Quince, they are in great quality
Thanks for sharing to let us all know!
My first purchase from Quince was Tencel jersey dresses for spring this year. I loved the fit and stretchy comfort and immediately ordered a bunch more colors. They are still comfy, but after a few washes and turning them inside out I notice stains that have not washed out easily on the cold water gentle cycles of the washing machine, and some stitches in the jersey dresses are not as neat as they could be. The cotton knit cardigans I got from them have held up super well. My overall thought is that the garments are constructed about as well or a little better than the Target level of clothing, not the highest quality, but generally acceptable to me considering the price; however, the materials used feel really luxurious to me. I love their cashmere and their silk. I also wear their ponte knit pants. Recently I ordered a pair of loafers from Quince and am looking forward to picking them up this weekend from the P.O. box.
Have not, and probably will not, order any handbags from them. There are far too many interesting and more elevated Indie bag styles to try, and I just cannot get excited about a brand only offering dupe bags. The only way I see for myself to order a bag from Quince is if they offer a color that I cannot find from another brand under $500. I really love having my purse as the pop of color when I wear neutrals.
I completely agree for the price you are paying. Is it Max Mara quality? No. I dont think they are trying to be. There are plenty of way more expensive clothing out there that is of the same quality as Quince or lower.
Honestly, I do agree with you about the bags. I definitely ordered these just to check out the quality. IF my mom wants the bottega dupe because she's too nervous about carrying expensive bags but of course it's hers. You know I focus on indie brands with innovative designs so I don't think I will be order anymore bags from them.
I was very skeptical of Quince, but finally took the plunge last March. And, despite my skepticism, I am in love with everything I bought. I ordered 4 items - the trench coat, a long sleeve silk blouse, the cap sleeve dress, and the long sleeve crew neck cashmere sweater. Like you, my 4 items came in 3 separate orders. I was worried about "see through" on the sweater since I ordered it in a very pale pink, but, happily, there was none. Thus far, all items are holding up beautifully. I am about to order a pair of shoes, a piece of jewelry, and a travel item, so will be exploring other lines shortly. I have been sorely tempted by several bags (including the exact Adiamo lookalike you showed) but thus far have not succumbed. Saving up for an FLP spree in Paris in a few months - trying to stay strong. 😁
Sounds like you need to start a YT channel to share all the cool hauls you get. oooohhhh FLP you know i'm a big fan as is my friend! Did you see the unboxing I did of her new bag? Yes stay strong my friend.
So sorry that all we see is your mouth……thanks for a great review of this brand, but I still find it pretty expensive. Beautiful pieces, though.
I love all of my quince, cashmere, cotton, linen, Ponte knit … wanting to try the washable silk but haven’t yet. I’ve had very good luck with quince. Affordable and good quality. When I have had to return anything, which isn’t often, it was easy.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Seems pretty mixed opinions
I’ve been buying from them for 2 years. Some items are a miss (their alpaca stuff), but most have been hits (flowknit work out shirts, bike shorts, their silk skirt, bamboo bed sheets, cotton sweaters, short boots, cotton tshirts, linen dresses, linen pants
Misses: white sneakers, hardware on their wallets and some purses, alpaca sweaters
Seems like many of you are a fan of their linen products. Will have to check it out when it's the right seasons for them again. I only have one pair of linen pants and they're from athleta. Thanks for sharing!
I am waiting for Quince to do petites. I would be interested in leather jackets, but I know that the sleeves would be ridiculously long. And any alterations are very expensive.
True that, something they should think about adding!
Same with tall sizes!
Please buy more!! I'm ready to do my first purchase because of your review haha
Amazing! Whatcha going to get??
I started with them when I bought the Chambray Linen Bedding bundle and I love it! Just make sure to wash it in cold water. This week I ventured into a pair of chubby silver hoops and the new oversized cashmere crew sweater ( which is definitely not thin and so soft) and Loved both; I was so surprised because I was hesitant because of the price. I want to try the cashmere zip hoodies next! The oversized crew and the hoodies are $99.
I'll have to look at their home stuff! Actually I shouldnt. I have so much from the lock down 😆
I always size up on the cashmere sweater T’s & shrunken sweatshirt sweaters. I have green and black and they aren’t see through.
I'll have to explore other options other than the white one I got.
This was sooo helpful. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed!!
I love quince! I have pieces I’ve had for years and they still look like new! I’ve got a leather coat and a purse along with pants and cashmere. Amazing value for the money!
Ps why didn’t you show your face in this post?
Thanks for sharing! I'm looking forward to seeing how my pieces wear. I explain why I dont show my face here: ua-cam.com/video/uI5JjytpN5c/v-deo.html
Get the maxi length silk skirt…im 5’4” and it’s the perfect length. I bought it in navy and it looks great with the navy version of the sweater you’re wearing in the video.
Yes! Maxi skirt will in my cart next time I shop there!
Really enjoyed your video, very informative. Im excited to watch more videos. Im new to your channel. Would love more Quince videos. ❤
Thanks Stacie! Welcome welcome! I'll put it on the list.
It's truly a hit or miss with Quince, mostly a miss tbh. The only items that have worked for me are the cotton t shirts, not trying anything else anymore (all other items have been a flop, both in quality and fit).
Thanks for sharing! So far my experience has been great. I will keep everyone updated on the wear and tear of the pieces I'm keeping.
Never heard of this brand, now I will definitely check them out. Great informative idea, thanks 😊
Glad to be of service!
These were great honest reviews and I think the Bottega dupe was my fave. Hope u do more Quince reviews because currently they are my go-to online shop!!
Thanks for letting me know!
Hi! I’m new. I’ve been watching the Quince site and debating on ordering from them for several months. I’ve also seen the Amex offers to sweeten the deal. 😄
Time to swipe swipe! or..more like hit check out button lol
First time viewer, just subscribed! Great Quince Haul- lots of great options!
Welcome welcome! Glad you found me!
Lulu’s define jacket is the best jacket-they have the thumb wholes-I have them in practically every color and some for years snd they look brand new -118.00-worth every penny
I'll have to check it out!
Yes the Lululemon Define Jacket does have the cuff fold over hand mittens.
Good to know! I guess quince didnt come up with the idea lol
Hey…new…loving your reviews been waiting to buy from Quience!
This review will help positively 😊
Thanks! Glad I was able to help!
I purchased 2 silk blouses, 2 cashmere sweaters, and 1 silk dress. The key to this brand is washing instructions - which they email you ahead of the package arriving. Everything fits great, and I'm pleased with all my items. I am curious about the linens, so if you buy another haul, grab some bedding sets.
ooh good to know! I will have to look at the instructions and tags before washing. I actually already washed my green zip up, it came out beautifully. Yes will definitely have to check out their home goods
Definitely try the maxi skirt. I love them!
yaaaa I think I will! it feels super nice!
I am still waiting on the rest of my order after 4 weeks. Further, should you want to return something you can either choose credit or your Cc card being credited. The problem is your CC card will not be credited for 3-4 weeks, yes weeks. For this reason after I get the rest of my order, I will probably not order again. I have a credit on my account almost $100.00 and it is never clear how to apply it to your purchase. Yes, all my orders items come separately.
Wow that's a long time! I wonder if it has to do with your location? But regardless, it still should not take that long. I made a return of the items that did not work. I got my refund on my card pretty much a day or two after they received the items back. I wonder why the big discrepancy in customer experience. Sorry to hear that
I have been satisfied with my Quince purchases as well. I have yoga pants heading my way now. Their washable linen is very nice. I have recently purchased cashmere sweaters, but I haven’t worn them yet.
oohh I love washable linen! I'll have to check them out when spring rolls around next year! Keep me updated about your cashmere sweaters. love to hear what your experience is like compared to mine!
It’s hit or miss for me with Quince. I have returned more than I have kept, but what I have kept I enjoy. The T-Shirt cashmere sweater fits tighter than most of their sweaters, but I love the boatneck sweater (I have the same one as you). Their shipping takes a while and is a bit hard to track sometimes. I also have an all saints leather jacket that I need to let go of for the same reasons as you 😂
That's great to hear! Yea...I think that's kind of the same for most brands? I remember ordering a bunch of stuff from Abercrombie and Fitch and I would return 90% of the items...I guess Quince is no exception? Hahaha you like my comment about being a gorilla? I got a kick out of it when i said that LOL
The metal holes on the bag are grommets, not rivets. Good video.
I've been seeing so many online ads and social media posts about Quince. I finally broke down and made 2 orders, mostly linen items. The quality and design are superb.
HA! If you've been with me for a while. I can't pronounce anything correct or get the names right lol Just FYI they're not metal holes..they're definitely plastic.
Yes Linen seems like quite a popular choice!
Thanks for the Quince research, Nikki! Being myopic, I was especially interested in your opinion on the bags. Now I think I would choose Madewell over Quince. And that drooping belt on the Bottega dupe is, for me, an indicator.🤗🌻
I dont think you are! We all have to draw inspiration from somewhere. I can find it in plant sometimes hahaha I hope if you do shop from Quince, you will find something you love! And if you dont, send it back!
I bought a cream cashmere tee shirt form Quince and I thought it was rather thin. I probably won't buy cashmere from them again. I would rather pay more and get a thicker knit.
It's a hit or miss. The brown one I was wearing is very nice. The white one not so much
Thank you for this video. I've seen Quince on other channels, but never heard an explanation of the company and experience. I've subscribed. I hope you'll reveal your face some day!
Absolutely! Glad it helped. Yes someday ☺️
Hi I’m new never tried quiche. I’m 58 and a big lady looking for age and body size appropriate
Welcome! Glad you found me! I think it's worth giving Quince a try. They're are modern pieces that aren't super trendy that it will be outdated quickly.
Can you review the Tiffany & Fred Paris bags please!
Haven't really done any research on them! I know @autumnbeckman reviews alot of their bags. I'm sure you've seen her channel. If not, definitely go check her out!
I have wanted to get that woven bag ❤
Get it!!
I got a cashmere sweater from Quince. It was pretty good for the price, but price aside, I was not super impressed. It was okay, reasonably soft, at $50 I couldn't complain. But it was so thin and a tiny bit itchy. Compared to the poncho I ordered from Strathberry. Granted, the poncho was about 7x the cost, but the difference in quality was huge. Also, as a poncho it should be a thicker than the sweater, but it was SO much thicker, so soft, so plush.
Yup I think the saying you get what you pay for holds true here. There are luxury brands out there that has the same quality but with 5-10x the price. So just gotta assess once you receive the pieces.
I spent over 5K on clothes from them in the last 6 months. I return about 40% of my staff ( fit/size/color /quality) but keep about 60%. I have numerous bags/shoes/luggage/tons of clothes from them. that's all I buy now. love quince.
that's a pretty good ratio! I would often buy from the major brands and end up sending back at least 50% of it.
@@Somehowadultingyes I am just thankful I found them , I have replaced most of my clothes with quince now. And have been getting staff for my daughter too.
@@gogafan love it!!! It's always nice to find a brand you can depend on
I love quince their box leather bag is nice quality
good to know! thanks for sharing!
Love quince’s silk. Great qualiyu
Good to know! Thanks for sharing!
You found some great pieces.
Yaaa I'm happily wearing some of the clothing right now
I love my silk skirt
Yay! Im putting that in my cart next
I have purchased and returned 9 out of 10 items. They are not sized for petite.
that's unfortunately. The cuts varies by company for ex. Jcrew's cut fit really well on me, H&M fits terrible. So it really just depends. I'm a big girl so i guess Quince worked well for me. Thanks for sharing!
Nothing I've had from them has held up. The quality is horrible!! My daughter's down coat fell apart in 4 months. That should not happen! I've stopped buying from them bc the quality is not there.
Dang ittt that is not what I'm experiencing with the pieces I got! The pieces I'm keeping feels and looks high quality. Perhaps I will do a 6 months update. I'm currently wearing my Lululemon jacket dupe.
You are a liar or your daughter is a brat! I have bought extensively from Quince, and have received nothing but beautiful pieces that have lasted years and have been priced well. You are trying to make a fine company sound poor or outright bad.
The cotton sweaters are very thin and look cheap. Sorry to say.
@@edeetudor3677 not my experience at all. Have bought several cotton, silk, linen and cashmere pieces and all are thick and luxurious!
Can the black dress be a maternity dress? 😂
100% It's incredibly stretchy and structured at the same time.
First time viewer - camera angle is weird- your head is cut off.
I just wish that everything that I have purchased wasn't from China
I'm not opposed to thing made in China as long as quality control is there. But I understand the sentiment
Why can’t I see the top half of your head?
I explain why here! I hope you enjoy my content either way!

Years ago when I worked for GAP they would take anything back with or without a receipt. Most people had no idea that was a policy and at my store it certainly wasn’t an Issue.
I’m curious as a consumer why you have such a problem with Quinces return policy?
I’ve been purchasing from them for four years before anyone barely heard of them.
Why do you hide your face? It’s very weird.
I don't necessarily have a problem with it. It just seems odd to me to have such a long return window. I guess I just have the business mind set that it could cause a lot of problems.
And I explain why I don't show my face here ua-cam.com/video/uI5JjytpN5c/v-deo.html
Why do you cut your head off in your videos?
I explain why here: ua-cam.com/video/uI5JjytpN5c/v-deo.html
Great video but we need to see your whole face!
I'm shy! Someday!
Why are you hiding your face?
I'm shy
I hate dupes. And I do not like their quality. No.
I'm not the biggest fan of dupes either so i get it. They can definitely find some inspiration and come up with their own designs. You are absolutely right.
Hard to watch when your face is cut off!
sorry to hear that! I still hope you enjoy my content. I explain why here ua-cam.com/video/uI5JjytpN5c/v-deo.html
It’s so uncomfortable watching your video without seeing your face
