Quintessential Information

Quintessential is an e-commerce company based in Oslo, Norway, that removes the upfront investment, the time spent, and the risk related to acquiring business attire. Really, the question is why us now. Most importantly, we need more sustainable models for consuming the world’s resources and we need it now. Buying clothing with a short lifetime is not sustainable. Buying more than we need is not sustainable. Throwing away garments that are in good condition is not sustainable. That’s why we’ve built a circular clothing model. The most demanding customers, the leaders of today and tomorrow, can get a new and halo-effect worthy wardrobe delivered to their door. Offering this as a rental incentives our customers to keep only the stuff they use. If they change profession, size or preferences, items can be returned at any time – and we will put them on a marketplace for second-hand clothing. Second-hand buyers are more price sensitive, but value durability and timelessness, and often wear such clothes until they’re worn out. In any case, we can pick up functional clothing and give them to charity. Combine that with repairs being offered by all our suppliers, and you have a circular model that optimises resource efficiency. So, why should you trust us to be your consiglieri? To solve the above problem, we’ve teamed up business attire superusers and clothing industry heavyweights with design and tech wizards. And when change is required, we rely on the scientific method. Through research, testing and continuous data-driven optimisation we’ve developed a sustainable business that delivers an unbeatable value proposition: the ultimate – and hassle-free – professional wardrobe. Ultimately, our aim is to inspire positive change – and it starts with the leaders.
