Quacker Day Hero

Jeanne Bice

Jeanne Bice (1935-2011) was the vibrant founder of Quacker Factory, a beloved clothing line that brought sparkle and joy to women's fashion. Starting her business from her kitchen table, she grew it into a multi-million dollar empire through her engaging personality and unique designs on QVC. Bice's infectious optimism and ability to connect with her audience made her a pop culture icon, inspiring countless 'Quackers' with her message of self-love and confidence. Her legacy continues to thrive through her brand and devoted fan base.

History of Quacker Day

Enthusiasts of Quacker Factory are celebrated on National Quacker Day. The signature clothing line for women was the brainchild of Jeanne Bice. Her clothes were unique and had the ‘sparkle and shine’ that would spread joy everywhere.

In 1981, the recently widowed Bice went into business with newly divorced Maryanne Diedrich — with whom she had previously owned a gift shop called The Silent Woman — to launch Quacker Factory. What started out small took off, and on February 4, 1995, Bice’s line debuted on the “QVC” cable shopping network. An instant hit with viewers, her entire collection sold out while still on the air. The audience couldn’t get enough of her. Her signature ‘sparkle and shine’ designs were one-of-a-kind and quirky. This was when Quacker Factory became hugely popular, even attracting a cult following, and Bice appeared on “QVC” several times over the years. She also appeared on “The Soup” often and was presented a Soup Award by longtime host Joel McHale.

Faithful customers loved the beautiful designs offered by Quacker Factory and would instantly bond with other people wearing clothing from Bice’s line. They started to feel like they belonged to a sisterhood, forming friendships, and hosting get-togethers. They labeled themselves ‘Quackers’ and would greet each other by quacking — a tradition still alive till today. In 2010, Bice founded National Quacker Day to be celebrated on February 4, the anniversary of her first appearance on “QVC.”
