Good quality mate gourd & bombilla

[FeelGoodLost]

Hi, can anyone recommend a good shop to pick up a well made mate gourd and a quality bombilla. The last time I was here I bought a set at a market in Recoleta but they ended up being cheaply made and the gourd cracked on me after about a month and the bombilla was total junk and started to rust after one use. So this time around I'm looking to buy something that's going to actually last me a little while. If anyone knows of any good shops to pick up a good set I would greatly appreciate the recommendation.

Did you condition the gourd properly before you used it? I suspect (but I don't know) that many of the fancy ones in the tourist shops are made to be looked at but not used. I have been buying my mates and bombillas in Coto, use them all the time and never have any problems with any of them.
