Quince

By Bonnie Eslinger ( June 24, 2026, 9:49 PM EDT) -- Luxury fashion brand Coach and online retailer Quince agreed to end federal litigation in California brought by Coach, accusing Quince of copying two of its signature handbags – a move made one week after a jury found Quince sold boots that infringed a patented Ugg's design it also found invalid. . . .

Last year, the company was sued by home furnishings retailer Williams-Sonoma (WSM.N), opens new tab, which ⁠accused ​Quince of selling inferior, cheaper ​items that looked similar to its own products.

According to a complaint filed on Friday night, Quince engages in false advertising by depicting specific beds, cookware, duvet covers, rugs and other products that Williams-Sonoma never sold, while assuring customers that its products are "Like Williams-Sonoma, but half the price" or "Pottery Barn quality for half the price."

The home-goods ‌seller accused Quince of false advertising last year for selling allegedly inferior copies of Williams-Sonoma products while assuring customers ​that they were "Like Williams-Sonoma, but half the price"
