The Best Stores to Buy Mallorcan Shoes
When we mention Lottuse, Farrutx, Kollflex, Barrats, or Munper, we're talking about Mallorcan shoe brands that have made a name for themselves in the international fashion world and have enjoyed fame for decades.
Mallorca is far from just being a sun and beach destination. Luxury tourism and fashion also have their place on the tranquil island, and these are the best stores to find them.
Where to buy Mallorcan shoes in Palma
Palma's city center is a showcase for major international brands, but it has also made room for Mallorcan footwear, which is very fashionable not only on the island but also in many parts of the mainland and Europe. Several stores bear witness to this.
One example is Blanc Marí, located on the commercial street Vía Sindicato, which offers traditional handmade porqueras shoes, as well as Menorcan-style abarcas and espadrilles known as espardenyes, which are highly popular among young people.
Ulanka, situated on Jaime II Street, offers footwear from many successful brands, and reserves a space for Mallorcan espadrilles and Ibiza-style abarcas as well. Especially in summer, the men's and women's sandals have that unmistakable Mediterranean flair that is characteristic of the island.
Carmina Shoemarker is perhaps the most internationally renowned brand of them all. They have been making shoes since 1866, all their craftsmen are masters of their trade, and they use the finest, highest-quality leathers for their creations. One of their stores can be found on Union Street in Palma.
Inca, the city of leather
It prides itself on being the heart of Mallorca, the birthplace of the famous "Quelitas," and the ultimate city of leather. Inca showcases its possibilities after becoming one of the island's artisanal hubs.
On Jaime I avenue, we find one of the flagship brands in the capital of the Raiguer region: Lotusse. Its history is linked to the Fluxà family, and the brand has been creating leather shoes for almost two centuries, contributing to Inca's well-deserved fame as the footwear capital of Mallorca.
In Plaza de Orient, there is Can Blancos, a shoe store that brings together the best brands from Inca but also imports shoes from other European regions, as long as they meet the quality standards.
Proudly standing on General Luque street is Barrats, another star of the city. Since 1890, this brand has become a reference when it comes to choosing stilettos, bluchers, loafers, boots, and all kinds of styles for both men and women. Their brand philosophy combines the best quality with prestige, comfort, craftsmanship, and innovation.
Shoes from Sóller, Ben Calçat
We don't want to miss the opportunity to draw attention to a small artisanal store located on Luna Street in Sóller.
Ben Calçat, which means "well-shod," is a unique store full of colorful shoes, including traditional Mallorcan footwear, sandals, women's shoes, hiking boots, and more. This store has its own workshop and offers artisanal craftsmanship. Their shoes are meticulously crafted with attention to detail, reinforced stitching, and high-quality materials.
