Nerina, thank you for choosing this sky-blue and white matera and supporting El Indio Matero. Knowing that a piece made by my hands will have a new home right here in Hackensack, New Jersey, makes this thank-you feel especially close to home.
The colors and the Sun of May on this bag carry a little piece of Argentina. For me, they belong naturally alongside the mate ritual: familiar colors, a daily pause, and something that connects us to home, wherever home happens to be. Bringing that feeling into something useful is one of the things I enjoy most about making materas.
Every piece is handmade, one at a time, with care in the small details as well as the overall shape. When someone chooses my work, they’re supporting the time, the hands, and the story behind it. Seeing that support here in New Jersey means just as much as seeing a bag travel across the world.
Nerina, I hope your matera brings a little Argentine warmth to your everyday routine and accompanies many good mates. Thank you for trusting my work. A big hug from my workshop to Hackensack!
