MATERIALS

Jaime uses majorcan "drap" as fabric. This is an antique hemp fabric (around 100 years old), hand-loomed in Majorca. He loves fabrics with a story, and really appreciates everything that is made by hand. Sometimes he also uses fabrics he discovers during his travels, following his own personal taste.

TECHNIQUE

Jaime loves the natural colours of the fabrics which are never the same because of who are they made. To colour the fabrics he uses natural dyeing techniques with plants from the island or some fair-trade pigments such as it could be coffee or indigo to get blue colours. Then for the embroidery, he only uses hands and the skills I learned through time. Finally, the sewing machine is the only contemporary device that I use because it allows me to give the strength that any bag needs to have for regular use.

MISSION

The main dream of Jaime is to "contribute with a grain of sand" to the heritage of majorcan textiles.
