Founder's Vision
Meet Dana Lu Vargas
Founder Dana Lu Vargas, with a heart rooted in the Sacred Valley of Cusco (Peru), gave life to INTYKA in 2018. Her soul has always danced to the rhythm of fascination with the sublime natural beauty of alpaca textiles and the captivating skills of the artisans who weave and embroider on the Peruvian Andean plateau. Through INTYKA, Dana fulfills a dream: to share with the world the rich textile legacy of Peru. Each creation by INTYKA is a poem woven with exclusive materials such as soft Peruvian alpaca, delicate baby alpaca, and smooth cotton. At the intersection of fashion design and Andean craftsmanship, versatile, timeless, and elegant collections of ready-to-wear garments, as well as high-fashion alpaca pieces for the contemporary woman, are born. But INTYKA is more than a fashion brand. For its founder, Dana Lu Vargas, INTYKA is inspired by nature and the desire to explore the artistic possibilities of traditional weaving techniques. However, this entire concept is infused with love: love for our culture, our people, and the planet. We strive to embrace a sustainable lifestyle, foster innovative craftsmanship, and practice fair trade. At INTYKA, we work with devotion for high quality that encapsulates authentic value. Through every stitch and detail, the love and delicacy that weave the heart of INTYKA are revealed.Our Philosophy
Weaving Stories, Preserving Culture
At INTYKA, we believe that our personal environments deserve designs imbued with history, soul, and purpose. In every corner we explore and in every journey we undertake, we celebrate the vitality of our ancestral culture. This deep connection drives us to collaborate with master artisans, finding inspiration in our roots and the experiences of our travels. In this way, we bring to life exclusive and inclusive fashion collections that intertwine contemporary styles with timeless techniques. Our commitment goes beyond. Personally traveling to remote communities gives us the opportunity to establish sustainable relationships with our valuable artisan partners and carefully choose local materials. This is how we manage to offer exceptionally high-quality garments at fair prices, both through our online store and our cozy physical space in Cusco. Each creation by INTYKA is a tangible reflection of the passion, love, and respect we dedicate to every detail, carrying with it the essence and warmth of the hands shaping our dreams.Our Artisan Partners
Honoring Tradition, Empowering Communities
In the remote regions of Cusco, Peru, communities of weavers flourish: men and women of all ages who, with devotion passed down from generation to generation, lovingly preserve the ancient craft of weaving. This tradition not only provides them with sustenance but is also the very essence of their lives. In the hands of these artisans, a unique fabric emerges, where complexity harmoniously fuses with definition, the modern embraces elegance, and each thread tells a story full of beauty and meaning. The meticulousness of their creations, attention to detail, and the rich narrative woven into each strand unfold delicately when explored up close. But what is most moving about this admirable group is their unwavering dedication to perfecting the skills of their art. Each master artisan takes pride in creating high-quality embroideries, transforming their work into a source of income that not only sustains but also nourishes the soul. This skill is not solely theirs; it is a legacy they eagerly share with future generations. In a rapidly advancing world, discovering this genuine connection to art and tradition is a treasure that we value with deep affection and respect.- Choosing a selection results in a full page refresh.
