This technique involves a handcrafted dyeing process that creates unique designs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Design on both sides<\/strong>: A distinctive feature is that the design is identical on both sides of the fabric. This is the result of the special dyeing process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Faded edges<\/strong>: The geometric patterns should have faded edges, creating a flame-like effect. This is due to the manual dyeing process, which makes each fabric unique.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fabric composition<\/strong>: Authentic fabrics are usually made from a blend of cotton and linen. The composition is typically 70% cotton and 30% linen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Handmade production<\/strong>: Look for fabrics produced by renowned Mallorcan companies that maintain traditional artisanal techniques, such as Teixits Vicens, which has been creating these fabrics since 1854.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Patterns and colors<\/strong>: Authentic designs are inspired by shapes from the Serra de Tramuntana and use colors that evoke the Mediterranean Sea, especially shades of blue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When purchasing, it is recommended to buy these fabrics directly from recognized Mallorcan manufacturers or specialized stores in local craftsmanship to ensure authenticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, there is no specific certification that guarantees the authenticity of Mallorcan fabric (roba de lleng\u00fces). However, local manufacturers are working to obtain the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), a European distinction that would protect this craft from imitations and ensure its authenticity and geographical origin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To ensure that the Mallorcan fabric you purchase is authentic, you should look for the following key characteristics: When purchasing,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":35816,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35819","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How can I be sure that the Mallorcan fabric I buy is authentic?
