A big thank-you to Erin in Woollahra, Australia, for choosing this green canvas and leather matera. Erin, knowing that something made in my little New Jersey workshop will become part of your days so far away means a great deal to me.
Every bag begins with materials on the worktable and an idea of how they’ll come together. This one brings green canvas together with dark leather, a combination with a quiet, everyday character. I love making pieces that feel at home alongside a thermos, a mate, and whatever the day has in store.
Making everything by hand keeps each piece personal. There’s time, attention, and a little bit of my Argentine roots in every matera. When someone chooses one, they’re supporting all of that, and giving the work a life beyond the workshop.
Erin, thank you for trusting my hands and supporting El Indio Matero. I hope your matera accompanies many good moments and many unhurried mates. A big hug from my workshop all the way to Woollahra!
