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.
I feel like it’s time passes. I am so much more interested in high-quality pieces in comparison to what’s trendy or cool right now
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.
Thank you for sharing your insights and experiences with clothing quality over the years. It's great to hear your perspective.
Can’t see the crop on the trousers nor where the skirt/ dress hits your legs…
Loved what you said at the end about not shaming people. Well said. I love my sezane pieces but they are very pricey
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 have some fast fashion pieces that I still wear but I find that natural fibers feel way better
I love Quince.
where is your initial red cardigan from?
I got it from a vintage store! It’s from the 70s
Where did you get your earrings?
I actually got them at a vintage fair in the bay area!
Sizes?
I am XS or 0/2
You’re supposed to DISCLOSE this is paid advertising!! How to trust what you have to say if you don’t even follow basic, Ethical marketing rules?
Fun fact: I paid for all of these.
But yes, this is a brand I partnered with after making this video. All of those videos I have mentioned that those were gifted pieces and have thanked Quince for them.
