Scarves & Gloves

Mongolian cashmere goats produce some of the finest, longest cashmere fibers in the world — harsh winters force their undercoats to grow longer and softer than goats in milder climates. Longer fibers mean less pilling, more durability, and a softer hand. Quince sources directly from Mongolian herders, which is why pricing sits well below specialty brand retail for comparable fiber quality and construction.

Classic scarves (roughly 12 x 70 inches) wrap once around the neck and tuck into a coat — most versatile. Wraps (roughly 28 x 80 inches) cover the shoulders as well, more like a shawl — best for evening wear and cold offices. Blanket scarves (40 x 80 inches or larger) double as travel blankets — best for flights, cold sleepers, and as a statement piece over a coat in winter.

Yes — cashmere accessories are one of the most reliable gifts at any age. The classic scarf works on anyone; gloves require sizing (S/M, L/XL — confirm on each product page); blanket scarves are most gift-forward for travelers and cold sleepers. All Quince cashmere ships in branded packaging suitable for gifting without re-wrapping.

All cashmere pills a little in the first few weeks of wear as short surface fibers work loose — this is normal and stops once the surface settles. Use a cashmere comb or simple disposable razor to remove pills as they appear. After the break-in period, well-made cashmere stays smooth for years. Quince uses Grade-A Mongolian fibers (longer staple length), which pill less than lower grades.

Hand wash in cold water with a cashmere-safe or wool-safe detergent, or use a delicates cycle in a mesh bag. Skip fabric softener and bleach. Lay flat to dry, away from direct heat — never tumble dry cashmere. Reshape while damp to preserve the original dimensions. Professional dry cleaning is a safe alternative for special-care pieces.

Most Quince cashmere gloves include conductive thread in the fingertips for touchscreen use — confirmed on each product page. Touchscreen compatibility is standard on the everyday cashmere gloves; specialty styles (mittens, ribbed evening gloves) may not include the conductive thread. Check the product description if touchscreen use is important.
