The Arunguita - Imperial Rawhide Mate Gourd Set is almost here.

The Dance of the Deep Earth.

Named after the ancient Arunguita dance of the Argentine interior, this Imperial mate gourd is a true tribute to the heartbeat of tradition. Wrapped in the authentic, rugged texture of genuine rawhide leather and crowned with a masterfully hand-chiseled alpaca silver virola, it is designed for those who appreciate the beauty of raw materials detailed with classic elegance.

 

Why it’s a Masterpiece of Tradition:

  • Classic Alpaca Silver Virola: Featuring a traditional hand-chiseled (cincelado) design around the rim. This classic metalwork creates a beautiful, elegant contrast against the rugged leather.

  • Authentic Rawhide Wrap: Hand-wrapped in genuine, unprocessed rawhide. Known for its durable, light-toned texture, it reveals the true, rugged natural character of the hide and will develop a stunning pátina over time.

  • Reinforced Base and Stability: The artisanal metalwork continues on the reinforced alpaca silver base, supported by traditional golden-bronze sphere stabilizers to ensure a perfect, non-wobble presence.

  • Selected Brazilian Gourd: A sturdy, extra-thick natural gourd is the heart of this mate, providing a robust feel and excellent thermal experience.

Artisan Note: As a 100% handcrafted premium product, each Arunguita is one-of-a-kind. Minor variations in the gourd’s shape, the natural tone of the rawhide, and the hand-chiseled patterns are not defects, but the authentic DNA of Argentine craftsmanship.

Make it part of your ritual

CURE: Fill the gourd with damp, used yerba for 24 hours before your first use to seal the natural pores of the fruit.
CLEAN: Rinse ONLY the inside of the gourd. Never submerge the mate or let water run over the exterior.
DRY: Always dry UPRIGHT in a well-ventilated area. Never leave it upside down, as moisture needs to escape.
RAWHIDE LEATHER: Authentic rawhide is natural and porous. Keep the exterior dry to prevent water rings. Over time, it will naturally develop a slightly darker, beautiful patina—this is the true mark of a traditional mate.
METALWORK: Buff the hand-chiseled alpaca rim and the bronze base stabilizers gently with a soft, dry cloth to maintain their classic shine. Avoid abrasive sponges that could scratch the detailed metalwork.
