More than a mate—it’s a ritual, a symbol, a piece of Argentina in your hands. Crafted in black leather and alpaca, this Imperial mate turns every sip into a moment of tradition.

The Imperial Pampa Black Leather Mate is one of the most refined and traditional mate styles in Argentina—recognized for its craftsmanship, elegance, and cultural significance.
Handcrafted using a natural Brazilian gourd, this mate is wrapped in premium black cowhide leather and finished with a beautifully engraved alpaca (German silver) rim featuring the iconic Pampa design. The result is a sophisticated and durable piece that reflects Argentina’s gaucho heritage.
Each mate is unique, shaped by artisan hands and natural materials. Over time, the gourd interior develops character, enhancing the flavor of your yerba mate and making every experience more personal.
This set includes a stainless steel “pico de loro” straw, designed for durability and a smooth drinking experience with proper filtration.
Whether you are continuing a lifelong ritual or discovering mate for the first time, this Imperial mate offers an authentic and elevated way to connect with Argentine culture.
