Artisanal palm leaf bags handmade in Mallorca

The artisan handcraft of palms tells a story about the culture and customs of the inhabitants of the island. With Antic Mallorca we were able to rejuvenate this treasure and make it contemporary. While adding our particular vision we are at the same time contributing to preserve the true artisan craft work of the palm of Ses Madones de sa Llata.

All our bags are made from palm leaves, collected and dried by hand in Mallorca. They are then hand braided by Ses Madones de sa Llata, who are a group of artisan women from the island. They learnt the technique of this craftwork as children and picked it up again after retirement (luckily for all of us and to keep the tradition awake). With a lot of care and without any hurry the bags are then embroidered by hand using cotton strips during the sunny afternoons on the Pla de Mallorca. That’s why they have some flaws and some virtues that make them so unique. 

The use of natural products, the creation by hand and the care to make the bags durable are aspects that share the same importance as the design itself, which aims for beauty through simplicity.​

These bags take us back to the essential.

Look, read, breath and above all, do not hurry.
