Deckers Outdoor loses infringement lawsuit to Quince. June 15, 2026 Ugg brand owner Deckers Outdoor Corp. lost its lawsuit against Quince, with a jury deciding the design patent covering the Ultra Mini Boot is invalid. After a four-day trial in the US District Court for the Northern District of California, the jury issued a verdict in Quince's favor on Monday, finding that Quince's Australian Shearling Mini Boot infringed US Patent No. D927,161, but that the claimed design was invalid. Because the patent was invalidated, Quince avoided all liability and financial damages. The jury reached the verdict after deliberating for over two hours. A juror noted to Bloomberg that the design drawings lacked adequate reproduction detail and featured strictly functional components like seams. Quince's counsel, Xinlin Li Morrow of Morrow Ni LLP, said the verdict "vindicated Quince's mission and consumer rights." The trial was seen as among the first tackling the legality of "dupes," or popular products that are advertised as low-cost equivalents to their brand-name counterparts. Quince, which specializes in dupes, says its mission is to "create products of equal or greater quality than the leading luxury brands at a much lower price." "This case was never about an ankle boot," Quince Head of Legal Joel Dion said in a statement. "It was about whether one company can claim ownership of a common, category-wide design and use the courts to push out anyone who competes with it." Deckers, which also owns Hoka and Teva, sued Quince in 2023 over allegedly copying its design patent covering the Ugg Classic Ultra Mini boot. Quince denied the allegations and argued the patent was invalid. Deckers had previously argued that Quince also violated its trademark rights. U.S. District Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin dismissed Deckers' trademark-related claims last year after finding the Ugg design was too generic for trademark protection. Image courtesy Ugg
Online retailer Quince said on Wednesday it has raised $500 million in a Series E funding round at a post-money valuation of $10.1 billion, signaling strong investor appetite for tech-enabled retail platforms benefitting from resilient spending by wealthy shoppers.
Quince, a factory-direct luxury essentials retailer, has closed a $500 million Series E funding round led by Iconiq, valuing the company at $10.1 billion. Baillie Gifford, Basis Set Ventures, DST Global, Marcy Venture Partners, Notable Capital, Wellington Management and WndrCo also participated. Founded in 2018, the San Francisco-based company surpassed $1 billion in revenue in 2025, maintaining triple-digit annual growth. Quince uses AI to predict demand at SKU level, enabling lower-quantity orders with manufacturers that scale based on consumer response. The funding will support global expansion, with recent launches in Canada and planned expansion into Europe. Chief commercial officer Matt Lippert highlighted growth opportunities across categories including denim, bedding and wellness products. Quince faces ongoing legal challenges, including lawsuits from Deckers Outdoor and a class action complaint alleging deceptive pricing practices.
Quince appoints first head of brand strategy and narrative. Quince announced on Tuesday it had hired Dakota Kate Isaacs as its first head of brand strategy and narrative. In the new position, Isaacs will be leading Quince's global brand strategy, positioning and storytelling, and is tasked with deepening the San Francisco-based startup's emotional relationship with consumers. Quince has scaled rapidly since its founding in 2018, with sales having doubled to over $700 million last year. But the $4.5 billion company has struggled to shrug off its reputation as a dupe maker. Isaacs said Quince's recent partnerships with hip-hop artist A$AP Rocky and celebrity stylist Erin Walsh signal the retailer's ambition to become a trusted standalone destination for direct-to-consumer goods. "When a company is deeply understood, it becomes more durable, and you're giving people a reason to believe in something much bigger than just a product itself," Isaacs said. "It's all about earning trust." Quince, known for selling $50 cashmere sweaters, ships its products directly from factories to minimise middlemen and operating costs. Isaacs joins Quince from Estée Lauder Companies-owned Deciem, parent company of skincare brand The Ordinary, where she served for over eight years, most recently in a three-year tenure as senior director, new global ventures. She led Deciem's North American commercial expansion and US communications strategy. New partnerships with A$AP Rocky and celebrity stylist Erin Walsh signal the retailer's ambitions to be known for more than selling less expensive versions of other brands' products.
Quince, the US-based luxury essentials brand, has officially launched in Canada, its first international market expansion. Canadian customers can now shop the company's curated range of apparel, accessories and home goods, including Mongolian cashmere and European linen, at quince.ca. The launch follows strong early demand during a soft introduction. Quince has established a Toronto-based team to oversee operations. The brand partners directly with factories to eliminate traditional markups, offering transparent pricing that includes duties and taxes, free shipping and 365-day returns. Founded in 2019, Quince uses a manufacturer-to-consumer model to deliver high-quality products across categories including bedding, outerwear and activewear. The Quince app is now available on the App Store, with Google Play coming soon.
