Frequently asked questions.

What is Quince clothing made of?

Based on our analysis of 72 Quince products, the average garment is 58.5% natural fibre. The most common single fibre is Elastane (in 41.7% of products). The remaining material is typically synthetic — polyester, polyamide, or acrylic.

Is Quince cotton?

Sometimes — cotton appears in 37.5% of the 72 Quince products we analyzed, but it's usually blended with synthetics. Only 40.3% of items are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre), so check the composition before assuming a piece is pure cotton.

Is Quince 100% cotton?

Some pieces are. Of the 72 Quince products we analyzed, 21 are 100% cotton (or near-pure, 95%+) — that's 29.2% of the catalog. The rest are blends.

How much polyester does Quince use?

18.1% of Quince products are polyester-heavy, meaning polyester makes up 50% or more of the garment. This is below average for fast fashion retailers.

Is Quince mostly synthetic?

18.1% of Quince products are polyester-heavy (50%+ polyester). Average natural fibre content is 58.5%, so the rest of the catalog is mixed.

Does Quince use natural fabrics?

40.3% of Quince products are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre). A decent portion of their range avoids synthetic fibres entirely.

Is Quince sustainable in terms of fabric?

Fabric composition is one factor in sustainability. With an average of 58.5% natural fibre, Quince is about average on this measure. Natural fibres generally biodegrade and shed fewer microplastics than synthetics.

Methodology: We analyzed 72 Quinceproduct pages, extracting the fabric composition listed by the retailer. Products are categorized by name keywords. Natural fibre percentage is the sum of all natural fibres (cotton, linen, silk, wool, viscose, lyocell, etc.) in each product's composition. Data is refreshed monthly.
