Emeline, thank you for choosing my handmade suede matera kit and supporting El Indio Matero. It means a great deal to know that something made here in my New Jersey workshop has found a new home in Fort Worth, Texas.
This mate backpack has a character all its own: warm brown suede, leather straps, golden zippers, and a matching yerbera to keep the everyday ritual together. I love how the texture of the material gives the bag personality before it has even begun collecting stories with its new owner.
Every matera is made by hand, one at a time. Behind each seam and finishing detail are hours of care, decisions, and work that I am proud to share. When someone chooses one of my pieces, they are helping keep that personal way of making things alive. For a small workshop like mine, that support means everything.
Emeline, I hope your new matera and yerbera accompany many good mates, quiet moments, and everyday adventures. Thank you for trusting my hands and giving this piece a place in your routine. A big hug from my workshop to Fort Worth!
