Salinas Grandes Imperial Mate Gourd

Inspired by the mesmerizing salt plains of northwestern Argentina, this imperial-style gourd features burgundy stamped leather that echoes the intricate patterns found across the Salinas Grandes landscape. It blends tradition with modern functionality, crafted for everyday use with no curing required.

Nature-Inspired Design
The stamped leather exterior tells a story of connection and beauty, much like the geometric formations of the salt flats. Combined with the golden alpaca silver rim and smooth stainless steel interior, this gourd is equal parts elegant and practical.

What’s Included
• 1 Salinas Grandes imperial mate gourd
• 1 Stainless steel bombilla
• 1 Cleaning brush
• 1 Quick Start Guide
• Maybe a few surprise extras!

Why It Works
It gives you the classic Argentine gourd feel while simplifying upkeep. No curing, no stress. Just beautiful craftsmanship, daily convenience, and a deeper connection to place.

Materials and Dimensions
This gourd measures about 3.5 inches wide by 4 inches tall, weighs approximately 12.2 ounces, and holds around 5 ounces of liquid. The torpedo-style base is wrapped in stamped Argentine burgundy leather. The rim combines gold-tinted alpaca silver with a stainless steel top for both durability and style.

Stainless Steel Interior
With its fully stainless steel interior, this gourd does not require curing and resists mold or buildup. It retains the flavor of your yerba mate while offering a low-maintenance experience.

Accessories Included
The set includes a 6.1-inch stainless steel Yerba Crew bombilla and a 7-inch cleaning brush with nylon bristles to help keep your bombilla fresh and clean.

Care Instructions
Avoid soaking the leather or exposing it to direct sunlight for extended periods. Simply rinse the inside after use and clean the bombilla using the included brush. For more details, see the FAQs tab.

Note: Each gourd is handcrafted and may vary slightly in shape, leather detail, and rim tone. No two are exactly alike.

Will my gourd look exactly like the picture?
The quick answer is “mostly”. We aim to keep the gourds about 85% consistent with the design but the handmade nature of the production allows for color and shape variations. Each gourd is unique and one of a kind.

Do I need to cure the gourd?
No need to cure it! Because the interior is stainless steel, just give it a quick rinse before your first use and you're good to go.

How do I maintain the gourd?
To maintain the leather exterior of your mate gourd, gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove any residue. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or excessive moisture to preserve its quality and appearance over time. The interior can just be rinsed with water after each use.
