Luxury Torpedo Mate-Laurel Leaf Virola - Hand-Selected Uruguayan Calabash - Cured Leather-Handmade in Argentina

This is not a mass-produced mate. Each Torpedo Mate is individually handcrafted in Argentina by a highly selective artisan who works slowly and in very limited quantities.

The artisan personally travels to Uruguay to select each natural calabash gourd, choosing it for its rounded shape, proportions, and quality. Each gourd is then wrapped in specially selected cured natural leather, resulting in an exceptionally smooth, soft, and refined finish.

Every section of leather is hand-cut and hand-stitched, including the distinctive base, individually shaped to follow the natural contour of the mate.
The artisan collaborates with a skilled orfebre (metalsmith) to create its exclusive metalwork. This piece features an intricately handcrafted Laurel Leaf engraved virola, complemented by two engraved brass accent rings for an elegant contrast of silver and warm golden tones.

Precision in Every Detail
Each mate is carefully checked for level, alignment, balance, and symmetry, ensuring exceptional precision throughout its construction. Every piece is personally inspected by the artisan before completion.
Because each calabash is natural and every mate is made by hand, no two are exactly alike. The mate pictured is the exact piece you will receive.
