Sun of May Mate-Handmade Calabash Mate Cup-Alpaca Sol de Mayo, Argentina

Collector’s Mate – Argentina Sun of May Edition 🇦🇷
"Mate criollo con aplique del Sol de Mayo en alpaca, trabajado y soldado a mano. Dos formas diferentes, ambos cómodos y únicos, pensados para vivir el mate como en casa. Una pieza que emociona y conecta con nuestras raíces." ♥

This mate is part of a deeply meaningful selection — created for those who carry Argentina not only in their hands, but in their hearts.

Handcrafted in Corrientes, Argentina, each mate is made from carefully selected natural calabaza and finished in a rich borravino tone, highlighting its natural beauty and traditional character.
What makes this piece truly unique is its fully handcrafted alpaca work and symbolic design:

• Solid alpaca base for stability and durability
• Hand-soldered alpaca structure surrounding the mate
• Artisan-crafted virola (rim), with fine handcrafted detailing
• Handmade Argentine map emblem with Sol de Mayo, individually crafted and soldered by hand

Each alpaca detail is individually hand-chiseled, with delicate finishes and exceptional attention to detail.
No two pieces are exactly alike — every mate carries its own unique character and artisan signature.
Each mate requires a meticulous handmade process that can take 2 to 3 weeks to complete.
💛 This is more than a mate — it’s a symbol of identity, culture, and belonging.
