Quince
Quince
Fashion & Bedding, scored by material line
Ranges from plastic-free naturals to high-shedding synthetics, so pick the fiber, not the brand
Quince built its name on affordable natural fibers, and its linen, organic cotton, silk, and cashmere lines are genuinely low-plastic and OEKO-TEX tested. But the same brand sells bamboo sheets that are chemically regenerated viscose, and activewear that is nylon or polyester with spandex. Watch the label on silk: every Quince silk is mulberry silk, but the stretch silk styles add 10% spandex (2). Buy Quince by the fiber, using the By fabric tab below.
How this score breaks down
This is a brand card, so there is no single score. Each material line is scored on the Fiber Scoring Guide, from 1 to 8. Open the By fabric tab for every line's score, or read the full review for the complete picture.
Strengths
- Genuinely plastic-free natural-fiber lines (linen, organic cotton, silk, cashmere), all OEKO-TEX tested
- Affordable entry into natural fibers for fashion and bedding
- Fiber composition disclosed on every product page
Trade-offs
- Bamboo line is regenerated viscose that sheds, not raw bamboo
- Synthetic activewear (nylon or polyester with spandex) sheds microplastics every wash; the 100% merino base layers are the exception
- Shipping packaging not disclosed
- Blends (cotton-modal, linen-viscose, cotton-cashmere) sit next to the 100% lines, so read the label
