FAQ

Do I have to pay duty or custom charges on my items?

If you’re ordering products to be delivered outside of the EU, they may be subject to taxes due to local laws or customs rules. Whoever your order is addressed to is responsible for all customs laws for the import of the products, and will be required to pay any additional charges for international delivery. The person receiving the goods, not the person placing the order, will receive a separate request for payment of these charges. If you’re ordering products to be delivered to someone else, make sure that they’re aware that they’ll need to cover this before you order. Unfortunately we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be, so we can’t offer assistance on these processes. We recommend that you check the import charges applicable in any non-EU country before ordering products to be delivered there.

What materials do we use?

We try to use as much pure and honest materials as possible.

For our cushions, cotton based fabrics are used with cotton embroidery threads. All our inserts

Our throws and dulais are 100% cotton. The kantha throws are made out of block printed muslin
with a thin layer of Calico. Cotton embroidery floss is used again.

Kitchen & Dining:

CARE AND MAINTENANCE FOR YOUR ITEMS

As with all handmade products, you may find slight imperfections or difference. Please know

one imperfection is the same. Rest assured it is our goal to provide the best quality we can. All
wooden products are food safe and carry the care instructions on their respective product
pages. If you have any queries, please write to us at uk.ishq@gmail.com

For cheeseboards, we suggest you do a slight polish of oil once in a while for the wood to shine
and condition. All ceramic that is gold plated must not be microwaved or put in the dishwasher,
we suggest delicate hand-washing with a non abrasive sponge and light detergent.

For clothes, all our clothing can be machine washed on delicate unless stated otherwise
(especially with prints in gold). Please do not bleach or tumble dry them. For best results, wash in cold water using a mild detergent. Do not dry clean! Ironing whilst damp will give you a really
nice finish, or use a spray starch.

For hand-embroideries, we recommend dry cleaning.

Our Journey

Our journey began 24 years ago, when a woman rediscovered herself in the city of mystics and shrines called Multan. Fatima immersed herself in a rich and vibrant culture where she discovered a profound connection for the beauty of her surroundings. This fed into her obsession for handmade crafts, where she discovered her purpose of preserving indigenous crafts of that region and beyond. Fatima created Ishq in 2018.

Ishq is a lifestyle brand that explores the charm and creation of handcrafted artefacts across the subcontinent, especially seeking products that reveal a story which we can connect with. Our products are handmade with love and are beautifully crafted using natural, fine, and honest materials. Each of our bespoke items reveal a unique story.
