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
