Intrique: Material and Care
​At Intrique, each piece is a labor of love — meticulously handwoven using time-honored techniques and crafted from natural fibers sourced with care. We believe that the soul of a garment lies in its making, and preserving it requires thoughtful handling.
​
Our Materials
​
We primarily use:
-
Handwoven cotton and silk from Indian artisanal clusters
-
Natural dyes that are gentle on the skin and environment
-
Unbleached and unprocessed yarns to retain their organic texture
Due to the handmade nature, slight irregularities in weave, color, or texture are a mark of authenticity — not defects.
Care Instructions
​
To ensure your Intrique piece stays beautiful for years:
-
Hand wash separately in cold water with mild detergent
-
Do not bleach or use harsh chemicals
-
Avoid wringing the fabric to maintain its weave integrity
-
Dry in shade to prevent color fading
-
Iron on low heat if necessary, preferably on the reverse side
For delicate fabrics like silks or naturally dyed garments, we recommend dry cleaning for best results.
Storage Tips
​
-
Store your garments in a cool, dry place
-
Avoid plastic covers; use cotton muslin bags for breathability
-
Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration
By following these care practices, you're not only preserving a handcrafted treasure but also honoring the artisan’s work behind it. If you have any questions about specific garment care, feel free to contact us at info@intrique.in
