5 out of 5 starsSo beautiful - this is the nicest bag I have ever owned. I got a custom version of the natural leather bag to add a shoulder strap. I love backpacks with a shoulder strap and they are so hard to find. ElMato was so nice in the process and very fast to communicate. Such a reasonable price for such high quality leather and craftsmanship. Thank you so much - I will love this bag for years to come!

5 out of 5 starsI'm very happy to write this review as this is one of the most beautiful leather goods I've ever seen. It's so much better in person. What a piece of artwork the owners created for me! Its simple design, venerable age-old Italian artisanship, modern chic, the owners' thoughts....you name it....all in my bag. I particularly like the owners, Marta and Tommaso since they hail from Cremona, one of the great places on earth. It took me 40 years to visit Cremona to pay my homage to Antonio Stradivari 3 years ago. Wish Marta and Tommaso a great success in their business!

5 out of 5 starsI have been looking for a wallet for a long time. All the ones in the store had a lot of gold trim and fancy material. I wanted a classic, elegant wallet without all the bling and that is what I got. I love my new wallet. It is made with excellent craftsmanship and the leather is good quality. There is a place for everything, my credit cards fit easily into the slots. There is plenty of room for bills and the change pocket has a heavy duty zipper. Exactly what I was looking for.

Behind the mask El Mato
Hello friends, we are Marta and Tommaso, we are 29 and 31 years old and we are the craftsmen behind the mask of El Mato.
El Mato for us means freedom of expressions and love for beauty. These bags and creations are the key to realize our dreams and achieve true happiness given by the return to nature and the care of the animals and plants we love.

We are both graduates respectively in "Food Science and technology" and "Philosophy" and after studies, we decided to dedicate ourselves to our passion: the craftsmanship of leather.
We worked in Cremona, a little medieval town in northern Italy for 4 years but from 2018 we moved in our new workshop and home in Desenzano del Garda (Brescia) a small village on the beautiful Garda lake. We are so happy because we love the lake, the mountains that sorrounds it and also ducks and swans that every morning walk with us to work!!

In our products design we always try to infuse style and personality to make them unique and recognizable: the simple, geometric lines and the cleaning and light shapes allow maximum optimization of materials and workmanship.
We are so proud to have an international certification from: "The Genuine Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather Consortium" that guarantees tanning method and origin of leather.
