Build Your Wardrobe with the Quince Day Robe
The Quince day robe comes with two versions—a duster and a jacket—plus optional details that can be mixed and matched to create 16 variations from one pattern.
With a loose fit and dropped shoulders, a waist tie, and patch pockets that overlap at the side seams, Quince is a stylish, layerable piece that empowers you to experiment with different fabrics to customize the silhouette, from a breezy rayon for a soft look to a lightweight denim for a more structured fit.
