{"product_id":"copia-2","title":"Luxury Torpedo Mate-Laurel Leaf Virola - Hand-Selected Uruguayan Calabash - Cured Leather-Handmade in Argentina","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery section of leather is hand-cut and hand-stitched, including the distinctive base, individually shaped to follow the natural contour of the mate.\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrecision in Every Detail\u003cbr\u003eEach 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.\u003cbr\u003eBecause 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Torpedo\u003cbr\u003eHand-selected natural Uruguayan calabash\u003cbr\u003ePremium cured natural leather\u003cbr\u003eExceptionally smooth \u0026amp; soft leather finish\u003cbr\u003e100% hand-cut \u0026amp; hand-stitched leatherwork\u003cbr\u003eHandcrafted Laurel Leaf engraved virola\u003cbr\u003eDouble engraved brass accent rings\u003cbr\u003eHand-cut \u0026amp; hand-finished leather base\u003cbr\u003eIndividually checked for level, alignment \u0026amp; precision\u003cbr\u003eHandmade in Argentina\u003cbr\u003eExtremely limited production\u003cbr\u003eOne-of-a-kind artisan piece\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEASUREMENTS\u003cbr\u003eHeight: approx. 4.2 in\u003cbr\u003eWidth: approx. 3.5 in\u003cbr\u003eInterior depth: approx. 2 in\u003cbr\u003eTop opening: approx. 2.9 in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePLEASE NOTE: Bombilla shown in photos is for display purposes only and is not included.\u003cbr\u003eNatural variations are part of the beauty and authenticity of each handcrafted calabash mate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVP Munay — More than a mate, a tradition that brings us together. 🧉\u003cbr\u003eMás que un mate, una tradición que nos une.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mates Edgar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45112512774352,"sku":null,"price":218.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4077\/5632\/files\/IMG_9259.jpg?v=1786418360","url":"https:\/\/www.vpmunay.com\/en-ca\/products\/copia-2","provider":"VP munay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
