Thank you, Nico: a canvas matera for Vicksburg

A warm thank-you to Nico in Vicksburg, Michigan, for choosing a handmade canvas matera and matching yerbera with the Sun of May.

Nico, thank you for choosing El Indio Matero and giving this handmade canvas matera a new home in Vicksburg, Michigan. Every order means a lot to me, and it is a pleasure to know that a piece from my New Jersey workshop will become part of your everyday mate ritual.

The warm cream canvas, brown straps, and Sun of May give this bag a simple character rooted in Argentina. The matching yerbera carries that same little sun, a familiar detail that brings the two pieces together. I enjoy making practical things that also carry a connection to the culture behind them.

Each piece is handmade, with time and care in the stitching, the shape, and the finishing touches. Choosing work from a small maker supports that slower, personal way of creating. Nico, thank you for valuing the hands and the attention behind your matera.

I hope your new bag and yerbera accompany many good mates, shared conversations, and well-earned pauses. Thank you for trusting my work and taking a little piece of Argentine mate culture to Michigan. A big hug from my workshop to Vicksburg!
