Arquinesia Perfumes
Entering this perfume shop is like stepping back in time as a series of antique-filled rooms lead to a sampling space that could be an apothecary room of the 19th century. Shelves of bottles and beautifully packaged scents in such forms as soaps, lotions and candles, all inspired by the Mallorcan landscapes, offer the chance to bring Proustian memories home. The fig, orange and sea breeze scents are among the standouts.
Artesania Tèxtil Bujosa
Founded in 1949, this textile company in Santa Maria del Cami is now run by the third generation of the family, and specializes in natural fibers and hand-made colors. The nondescript storefront contains a small store displaying cushions, tablecloths and bags but most people come to buy meters of fabric in linen, cotton or silk. Bolts of colorful ikats, stripes and solid colors are lined up in another room, and just past it, you can go into the courtyard where yarn is dyed and into the workroom where the workers man the 100-year-old looms. It’s also possible to make custom orders.
Can Garanya
This store, which dates back to 1928, sells authentic Mallorcan baskets and sandals, many made of esparto, a wicker-like grass native to Spain. There’s also a large selection of ceramics and hand-blown glasses.
Ceramics by Joanna
This tiny shop in Deia sells the hand painted ceramics of a local artist who calls herself Joanna of Deia.
Cortana Palma de Mallorca
The designer of this cult brand Rosa Esteva has established Mallorca fashion as super stylish with her all-natural fabrics and sinuous silhouettes. She has boutiques in Madrid and Barcelona but this flagship in the heart of Palma was designed by her well-known architect father. In spare white-washed rooms, you can discover the range of her talent from soft suede shoes and belts to glamorous bridal gowns and delicate ceramics. Fashionistas if you make one stop on the island, make it this one. Her pieces are now sold on Net-a-Porter but come here to see the full range in an ideal setting.
Estilo Sant Feliu
The best place in Palma to pick up hostess gifts of home furnishings, particularly place settings, is this tucked away shop. Don't miss the distinctive Mallorquin textiles in bright colors and ikat-like patterns.
GORDIOLA
Founded in 1719, Gordiola has been making beautiful hand-blown glass creations from chandeliers to bowls and glasses and evolving them as styles change. A shop in Palma sells the collection but the better experience is traveling to the factory where you can see the glass works as well as the museum, which displays glass from ancient Egypt to modern times, spanning dozens of countries and styles. Custom orders can be placed, and they ship worldwide.
La Pecera
This mini, easy-to-miss concept store has a mix of furniture, housewares, fashion and accessories—all handmade by local artists with native materials.
“La Pecera is my favorite place in Mallorca to find something special, especially for those interested in interior design and decoration. Marlene Albadalejo is responsible for this project, in which traditional, everyday objects are reinterpreted to create new furniture and decorative elements of great quality and beauty. Everything at La Pecera has been designed and produced on the island, so it is worth taking a stroll through this unique store that is off all commercial circuits.”—Mallorca insider Rosa Esteva of Cortana
Maison Cinq
The owner of this interiors shop mixes eclectic decorative objects with practical items like linen napkins, throw pillows and a great selection of wood serving boards. Shell lovers will find baskets of exotic seashells for sale.
Mimbrería Vidal
This father-and-son basket weaving studio in the heart of Palma is literally stacked floor to ceiling with baskets of all shapes and sizes. Whether you want bread baskets, picnic baskets, shopping baskets or even rattan animal carriers or bull or elephant heads made of straw, you will find it here.
Rialto Living
Palma's top concept store is a rambling grouping of spaces set in multiple buildings. Beautiful photograph books, home accessories, clothing, luggage and furniture sit side-by-side, all curated by the owners (founders of fashion label Gant). The store is constantly adding aspects to itself, and there are rumors of restaurants going in soon.
Tienda Sonmo
This new shop in Valldemossa sells artisanal products from the Son Moragues estate. Items range from organic gin and olive oils made on the nearby property to items from their gardens, such as oranges and vegetables, organic cotton throws, and handmade ceramics.
