Intrigue Of Stroud

Caroline Ractliffe opened her eclectic clothing and gift shop, INTRIGUE of Stroud, in June 2013 after starting her retail journey trading at fetes, fairs and festivals and then running pop-up Christmas shops in Stroud’s Cornhill.

Intrigue’s products are all personally ethically sourced by Caroline including many fairtrade items. “I believe we should do more of what makes us happy and I hope Intrigue brings a ray of sunshine to the high street offering a very sensory shopping experience!” she said.

Caroline is firmly part of Stroud’s independent retail scene. The shop itself is a riot of colours from clothing sourced ethically from across the world, alongside a plethora of quirky gifts.
