Despite a tough fundraising climate for direct-to-consumer brands, Quince has surged ahead. The affordable luxury label, famous for $50 cashmere and viral TikToks, just secured a major funding round that cements its position as one of the fastest-growing names in retail. Here's what you need to know:

• Quince built a loyal fan base through Instagram and TikTok virality, selling high-quality basics like $50 cashmere sweaters and even discounted caviar.
