Santapalma and Nuar: Summer To Go

Whether you go shopping at the market or spend a day on the beach, a senalla bag is simply the perfect companion. The rustic raffia basket is one of the most typical products on Mallorca. And at the same time kind of a summer to go souvenir or gift. You’ll find basic ones at wicker stores all over the island. A rather stylish version by the small Mallorcan label Santapalma is available at select boutiques and at Écru Showroom which the young designer shares with Nuar Shoes.

The perhaps most elegant model of the minimalist handbag is called Isabel. A slim, rectangular bag with two leather shoulder straps. Braided with the traditional technique that has been passed down from generation to generation. Isabel goes just as well with your summer outfit as it does with a little black dress.

All Santapalma handbags are made from the leaves of dwarf palms. Collected and dried in the Mediterranean sun before processed by local artisans and small workshops to ensure that each piece is made with care and attention to detail.

Elisabeth Colom belongs to the generation of female designers on Mallorca who reinvent traditional arts and crafts and create timeless pieces. Just like Ariana Baltierrez, the founder of Nuar shoes.

Like Anna Lena Kortmann with Studio Jaia who makes furniture using Mallorcan weaving techniques and pattern. Or Maria Trepat and Alexia Izu with Suite 13Lab, and Isabel Rotger with Act Series.

Santapalma and Nuar established Écru Showroom in the heart of Palma where they present their collections. Linen dresses, pants and tops in slightly oversized designs. And beautiful footwear handcrafted on the island.
