In the past I’ve done posts about my most worn Quince items for the year, however this past year I only got a couple of clothing items from Quince. I ended up getting a lot more non-wardrobe products from them, so this year’s round-up will be my overall most used items across all their various categories (but honestly mostly from the Home section).
Essential Japanese Damascus Steel 3.5" Paring Knife
This Japanese steel paring knife is probably my most used item in the kitchen. This is the knife I reach for when cutting up fruit and vegetables for my daughter. I use it daily and it looks as good as the day I got it (and just as sharp too). Honestly Quince’s Japanese steel knife line is really good for the price. I have a Shun set and I can’t tell you the difference between them. If I didn’t already have the Shun set I would have 100% gotten all the Japanese Damascus Steel knives available at Quince. You can read my review of it in my Quince home goods review here.
Jean Dubost Laguiole Steak Knives
Also in that same review, I talked about this French steak knives set that I also probably use daily. These are so sharp and yet lightweight, and they’ve been holding up like a champ. They can also be thrown in the dishwasher (which wasn’t true of our first steak knives set we got). Plus I love how sleek they look. The only problem with this set is that they’re always sold out.
Stagg EKG Electric Kettle
As I mentioned in my original review, this is the perfect kettle for pour-over coffee, or preferred method of brewing. If you’re more of a tea drinker, the pour on this is a bit slow and I might not recommend it (the Stagg Corvo kettle would probably be better for tea). But for coffee, it really is the best. I love how it holds the temperature you set it at, the sleek look, and how easy it is to use.
East Fork Pottery Mug
I use this mug every morning for my coffee because even though I own both Heath and Cecile Preziosa mugs (both also great), this one is hands down my favorite. The grip on this mug is the most comfortable and even though it’s a thick-walled mug, I love the mouth feel. The thick walls also keeps my coffee warmer for longer. Overall there’s just such a homey, comforting feel to the mug. (Though I should note I still prefer the thin-walled Cecile Preziosa mugs for tea).
Turkish Spa Bath Towels
These towels has been one of my longest used Quince items and I still love them (first reviewed here). The quality of these towels are great and they still feel as soft as my Pottery Barn ones. I’m set for towels for now (especially seeing how long these last), but I know where to get more if I ever need them.
Linen Sheet Set
The only other review that might be older than my Quince bath towels review would probably be my review for their linen sheet set. I love my linen sheets, and yes they did get a hole in them after 4 years of constant use. But I used my old ones for rags (after cutting them up) and got some cute new ones with stripes (an option that wasn’t available when I got them 4+ years ago). Honestly linen sheets can be expensive so these Quince ones are a great value.
Silk Pillow Cases
I’ve been a silk pillow case fan for yeaaars, starting with my first one from Slip (reviewed here). I also tried some generic ones from Amazon. And I have to say my Quince ones (reviewed here) are currently my favorite. They’re softer than the Amazon ones, but more durable than the Slip one (which honestly has seen better days). To be fair I purchased quite a few of the Quince ones and have been rotating through all of them (including the Slip and Amazon ones) consistently. Honestly there isn’t a huge difference, but there’s definitely a difference between silk and non-silk. Overall, again I say Quince gives you the best value amongst all the silk pillowcases out there.
Silk Scrunchie
Like the pillowcase above, I also have the Slip version of these thin silk scrunchies. And like the silk pillowcases I use the scrunchies interchangeably between the Slip ones and the Quince ones. There’s no real noticeable difference except for the branding on the Slip ones and the fact that the Slip ones are slightly looser. I wrap the Slip scrunchies three times around my ponytail while I wrap the Quince scrunchies only twice. But at least with the Quince ones I feel less bad if I lose one since it’s priced at $19.90 for 6 vs. the $39.90 for 6 from Slip.
Wedding Ring
The 14k gold diamond wedding band (on my ring finger in the pic above) is my one piece of jewelry that I wear the most and it’s been holding up great. It looks as good as the day I got it, and I have no complaints. If you’re looking for a simple thin band, then I think this one from Quince is a great deal.
Pave Signet Ring
My second most used ring from Quince is probably this pave signet ring (on my pointer finger in the pic above) because it packs a lot of bling in a slim and classic shape. There are several brands that do this style and of them Quince is priced the lowest. But that doesn’t mean the quality is any less. I’ve worn this ring quite a lot and like the wedding ring above, it looks as good as the day I got it.
Wearing the linen shirt layered underneath here
Long-sleeve linen shirt
The MVP of my closet definitely has to be Quince’s long-sleeve linen shirts. I wear them both in the summer (to cover my arms and neck from the sun as much as possible) as well as the winter (layered underneath a sweater). I have them both in medium and large and in various colors. And they’ve all held up after multiple washes (I always hang dry of course). These classic button-down shirts are a must for me and something I can’t live without. I first reviewed this shirt here with all the other linen items I’ve tried from Quince.
Organic Cotton Oversized Cardigan
The only other item of clothing that I used consistently this year are my organic cotton cardigans. I’m not sure if they’re still “in” but I love them for their comfiness and casual look. They’re kind of like robes for me (but nicer). At this point I have four that I switch between, and even though I’ve had them for several years they all look great. I think in general they’ve lasted me far longer than any of my other Quince sweaters. I reviewed them first here and then in my Quince sweater review here.
