About Us – Quinre

At Quinre, we believe luxury lives in the fabric. Not in flashy logos or fleeting trends—but in the way Mongolian cashmere wraps like a cloud, Italian leather softens with every touch, Turkish cotton feels light yet lush against the skin, and washable silk retains its luster even after countless wears. Our mission is simple: to bring the world’s finest natural fabrics into your everyday—crafting pieces that honor the integrity of each material, last for years, and turn ordinary moments into small acts of indulgence.

We don’t just sell clothing and accessories—we curate a relationship with quality. Whether you’re slipping into a washable silk blouse for work, wrapping a Mongolian cashmere scarf around your shoulders on a cool evening, or carrying an Italian leather tote to the market, every Quinre piece is designed to make you feel seen, comfortable, and connected to the craftsmanship behind it.

1. Our Story: Born From a Love of Exceptional Fabrics

Quinre started with a frustration we’ve all felt: too many “luxury” pieces feel disposable. Cashmere that pills after one wash, silk that’s too delicate to wear regularly, leather that cracks before its time. Our founding team—travelers, fabric enthusiasts, and advocates for slow fashion—set out to change that by going straight to the source of the world’s best materials.

In 2018, we embarked on a journey: to Mongolia, where we partnered with herders who’ve tended cashmere goats for generations, ensuring ethical grazing practices and fair compensation for their ultra-fine fiber (the kind that makes cashmere soft enough to sleep in). To Italy, where we visited family-run tanneries that use vegetable-based dyes to bring out Italian leather’s rich, natural grain—no harsh chemicals, just time-honored techniques. To Turkey, where we met artisans weaving Turkish cotton into threads that are lightweight, absorbent, and surprisingly durable. And to silk mills that perfected washable silk—a game-changer for anyone who loves silk’s elegance but hates dry-cleaning bills.

That first collection was small but intentional: 5 styles of Mongolian cashmere sweaters, 3 Italian leather accessories (a tote, a crossbody, a wallet), 4 Turkish cotton linens (sheets, towels, a throw), and 2 washable silk blouses. We skipped trendy cuts in favor of timeless silhouettes—pieces that would fit into your wardrobe for years, not seasons. Today, we’ve grown, but our promise remains the same: every Quinre piece starts with a fabric so exceptional, it doesn’t need to hide behind novelty.

2. Our Ethos: Fabric First, Always

What sets Quinre apart is our unwavering focus on the materials themselves. We don’t compromise on quality—even if it means smaller collections or higher prices. Here’s what guides us:

• Traceable, Ethical Sourcing: We know where every fabric comes from—and who made it. Our Mongolian cashmere is certified by the Sustainable Cashmere Initiative, ensuring herders receive fair pay and goats are treated humanely. Our Italian leather tanneries are LWG (Leather Working Group) certified, meaning they meet strict environmental standards. Our Turkish cotton is grown without harmful pesticides, and our washable silk is woven in mills that prioritize worker safety. We share these stories with you—because luxury should be transparent.
• Craftsmanship That Honors the Fabric: A great fabric deserves great care. Our Mongolian cashmere sweaters are knit in small batches to prevent pilling, with reinforced seams that hold up to repeated wear. Our Italian leather accessories are hand-stitched by artisans who know how to highlight the leather’s natural grain—no over-processing, no fake finishes. Our Turkish cotton linens are woven with a tight yet breathable weave, so they stay soft but don’t tear. Our washable silk is treated with a gentle finish that lets it withstand machine washing (on cold!) without losing its sheen.
• Timeless Design Over Trends: We design for longevity. A Quinre Mongolian cashmere cardigan won’t go out of style next year—it will be the piece you reach for every fall. Our Italian leather tote is roomy enough for work or travel, with a shape that flatters every body type. Our washable silk blouses come in neutral tones (ivory, navy, soft gray) that pair with everything in your closet. We believe luxury is about investing in pieces that grow with you, not replacing them every season.

3. Our Promise to You

When you shop Quinre, you’re not just buying a sweater or a tote—you’re buying into a vision of slower, more intentional living. We promise:

• Exceptional Quality: Every piece is inspected by our team before it ships. We check for loose threads in cashmere, uneven stitching in leather, and perfect weave in cotton and silk. If a piece doesn’t meet our standards, it doesn’t leave our warehouse.
• Transparency: We share the story of each fabric on our product pages—where it’s from, how it’s made, and why it’s special. You’ll know exactly what you’re buying, and why it’s worth investing in.
• Care That Lasts: We include detailed care instructions with every piece—how to wash your washable silk (cold water, gentle cycle!), how to store your Mongolian cashmere (fold, don’t hang!), how to condition your Italian leather (use a beeswax-based cream twice a year!). We want your Quinre pieces to stay beautiful for years.
• A Commitment to Sustainability: We minimize waste at every step. We use recycled packaging, offer repair services for our leather and cashmere pieces (because fixing is better than replacing), and donate unsold inventory to organizations that support women and children in textile-producing communities.
