The Patria Matera is our most classic, robust, and character-rich piece. Handcrafted from premium thick saddlery leather, this timeless matera is designed to be passed down through generations, built to withstand a lifetime of travels and tradition.

Why choose it:

Classic saddlery leather: Made from a rigid, noble, and heavyweight leather that develops a beautiful patina and builds character with everyday use.
Hand-stitched craftsmanship: Its most distinctive feature is the striking, heavy-duty contrast hand-stitching, highlighting a beautiful traditional zig-zag pattern along the base.
Side pivot system: The thick leather handle is attached to the main body through overlapping leather patches and pivot hardware, a classic technical detail of traditional leatherwork.
Seal of identity: The embossed Sun of May beautifully decorates the side pivot patches, featuring a sun on each side for a bold, authentic presence while keeping the front profile clean.
Structural divider: Includes a fixed internal divider made of the same robust leather to keep your thermos and mate securely organized and always upright.

The inspiration: The Patria Matera is a tribute to history and the true strength of manual craftsmanship. Inspired by the ancient saddlers of the South American Pampas, this piece celebrates the beauty of rustic, handmade design. It is made for those who carry the pride of tradition and the mate ritual in their DNA.

To keep your Matera Patria looking flawless, gently wipe the saddlery leather and hand-stitching with a slightly damp cloth using water only, drying it immediately with a soft towel. Apply a natural leather balm every 3 to 6 months to nourish the thick leather, preserve its rich patina, and prevent cracking over time. Simply shake out any loose yerba crumbs from the interior, and avoid submerging it in water, using alcohol or harsh cleaners, or exposing it to direct heat.
