Fantastic! 10 Puntos! Highly recommended

This Mate Gourd is of excellent quality, very good leather and precise hand stitching. For my personal taste its size is ideal, it fits enough yerba/tea to drink about 1 liter of mate. It also fits perfectly on the hand and can be carried from one place to another without having to worry about a tedious move due to being a very large or very small Mate gourd, it makes you want to always have it in your hand! I consider that it is a fair price for the consumer, the company and I hope also for the artisans who work on these products on the other side of the Atlantic. The transaction with UruShop was great, once the payment was received I got a message with the delivery info and a few days later it arrived in Germany as advised, very well packed and in perfect condition. I would highly recommend this product, in fact I will buy another one soon! Thanks from a Mate fan from Peru! ---- --- El mate es de excelente calidad, muy buen cuero y costuras a mano precisas. El tamano es ideal para mi gusto, entra suficiente yerba para cebar 1 litro de mate. Ademas cabe perfectamente en la mano y se puede llevar de un lugar a otro sin tener que preocuparse por un traslado tedioso por ser un mate o muy grande o muy pequeno, dan ganas de tenerlo siempre en la mano! Considero que es un precio justo para el consumidor, la empresa y espero que tambien para los artesanos que trabajan estos productos al otro lado del charco. La transaccion con UruShop fue estupenda, hecho el pago recibi el mensaje de la remision del mate y a los pocos dias llego a Alemania segun lo avisado, muy bien empacado y en perfecto estado. Recomendo de manera este producto, de hecho comprare otro muy pronto! Un peruano matero les agradece!

Excellent

I don't usually write any reviews - I just read them. But this one here is an exception since I'm totally satisfied with the product. Beautifully made, doesn't leak, perfect size, nice to hold. I bought a different one from ebay (twice the price), but the quality doesn't even get close to the one offered here on the urushop site. I'm considering ordering a second one.... lets see :)
