Its owners who live between Germany and Mallorca and are good connoisseurs of the Mallorcan genre, decided in 2015 to open a business, in their country of origin, of “delicatessen” products from the Island. Their main objective was to select the highest quality and sustainability ones.

This store is also characterized because all its suppliers are family businesses, where different generations have made history in their artisan factories.

The store is divided into four parts: Calle del jamón, select products from Mallorca, artisan fabrics from ikat, such as those from VICENS, and a good winery.

Recently, they have created a 3D store in which their clients can enter and visit each space to see all news products and at the same time have a Mallorcan experience.

Being such versatile fabric manufacturers gives us the freedom to make different products. Since the confinement began, basically, the Teixits Vicens workshop has been dedicated to the manufacture of Ikat fabric face masks. Such a characteristic fabric on our islands. The starting point to make this product was the lack of sanitary material to carry out the different urgent and necessary tasks in this serious situation. The reception has been very good, both in the field of companies and of our private clients. So, this has encouraged us to start producing children’s face masks for kids of different ages. The masks that we have manufactured at Teixits Vicens are exclusively for a hygienic purpose and use and don’t have to replace an individual protective equipment or a medical device. But it is  useful as a protection tool to prevent droplets from detaching from an infected person. Are made with double Ikat fabric 70% cotton and 30% linen, plus a very thin 100% cotton fabric so that the friction with the skin is softer. The design covers the nose, mouth and chin. In addition, it has two lateral elastic bands so that the mask fits well on the face. The Ikat fabrics are made by hand and are very resistant, so the masks can be washed and reused. At this moment in Teixits Vicens we have closed, but our online store continues to operate 24 hours, preparing orders with all the security guarantees. We need to stay home and comply with the rules is the most important responsibility these days. Despite the concern that this unusual situation produces, and that has us all puzzled, we have to be positive, have calm, common sense and transform it in a productive experience.

Made in Mallorca, the brand that brings together different Mallorcan handicraft companies, is preparing for the second edition on the island.

After participating in the London Design Fair, one of the most important in Europe, since 2017, the challenge is to continue making itself known at home. This time it will be held from March 11 to 14 in Es Baluart. In addition, in this edition the exhibition will have more participants than in the previous fair. The idea is a local designers collaborate with companies that produce fabric, glass, ceramics, lighting, furniture, etc.

The IDI (Business Innovation Institute of the Balearic Islands) seeks recognition of local production. Trades with an identity sign from Mallorca, whose work begins and ends at home. Preserve the essence, reinterpreted under the creative gaze of each designer.

In Teixits Vicens we are developing an idea that will unite our fabrics with one of the most noble and natural materials that exist. It will be a 100% handmade and native piece.
