Question 1

What's the difference between Quince's silk, linen, and cotton blouses?

Accepted Answer

Silk drapes softest and reads dressiest — the washable mulberry silk works for evening, work, or anytime you want polish without a blazer. European linen breathes best in heat and reads more casual or resort. Organic cotton — slub, micro-rib, textured peasant — is the everyday workhorse with the softest hand and easiest care. Pick by occasion: silk for dressed-up, linen for warm-weather, cotton for daily wear.

Question 2

Which Quince blouse works best for travel?

Accepted Answer

The washable mulberry silk blouses pack flat and wash at home — pick a dolman or puff-sleeve cut in a tonal color for the smallest-suitcase versatility. The 100% European linen popover is the second pick — wrinkles intentionally, dries fast after hand-washing. Avoid stiffer silks or untreated linen if you will be washing in hotel sinks.

Question 3

Are Quince's linen blouses sheer or opaque?

Accepted Answer

The 100% European linen is woven at a midweight that is opaque in most colors. Lighter colors (white, flax, pale blue) can read slightly translucent in direct sun — pair with a slip or nude camisole if that is a concern. Darker colors and patterns are reliably opaque.

Question 4

What is "washable silk," and how is it different from regular silk?

Accepted Answer

Washable silk is 100% mulberry silk treated so it can be machine-washed at home on a gentle cycle — the same fiber as traditional silk, finished to skip the dry cleaner. The drape, weight, and luxury hand are intact; the maintenance is the difference. Most silk blouses at specialty retailers are dry-clean-only; Quince's are not.

Question 5

How do I care for a silk blouse at home?

Accepted Answer

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Use a mild detergent — no bleach, no fabric softener. Hang dry, never tumble. If you want to press, use a cool iron on the reverse side or steam through a thin cloth. For stains, dab with cool water immediately rather than rubbing.

Question 6

Does Quince offer free returns on shirts and blouses?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we accept returns for 365 days from your order date.
