Miles, thank you for choosing this brown leather matera and supporting El Indio Matero. It makes me happy to know that a piece made by my hands here in New Jersey has found its next chapter with you in New York City.
Some of my bags find homes across oceans. This one’s connection is a little closer to the workshop, and just as special. Whether a matera goes around the world or just across the river, there’s a person on the other end choosing handmade work. That never feels like a small thing.
I love the warmth of this brown leather, the stitching, and the simple idea behind the bag: a place to keep the mate ritual together. Every piece gets my time and attention, from the materials on the worktable to the finishing details. That care is what I hope you feel each time you pick it up.
Miles, I hope your matera accompanies plenty of good moments, busy city days, and well-earned pauses with a mate. Thank you for trusting my work. A big hug from my workshop to NYC!
