Senior Manager, Global Procurement Hub (Footwear / Accessories)

Quince was started to challenge the existing idea that nice things should cost a lot. Our mission was simple : create an item of equal or greater quality than the leading luxury brands and sell them at a much lower price.

Customer First. Customer satisfaction is our highest priority.

High Quality. True quality is a combination of premium materials and high production standards that everyone can feel good about.

Essential Design. We don't chase trends, and we don't sell everything. We're expert curators that find the very best and bring it to you at the lowest prices.

Always a Better Deal. Through innovation and real price transparency we want to offer the best deal to both our customers and our factory partners.

Environmentally and Socially Conscious. We're committed to sustainable materials and sustainable production methods. That means a cleaner environment and fair wages for factory workers.
