De leren voet zorgt voor een stabiele stand.

Dit is een volledig natuurlijk, handgemaakt product — en dat merk je. Elke kalebas is uniek in vorm, grootte en textuur. Geen twee exemplaren zijn hetzelfde, en dat is precies wat dit soort vakmanschap zo bijzonder maakt.

Omdat het om een natuurproduct gaat, is het belangrijk dat je de kalebas goed onderhoudt. Vóór het eerste gebruik moet de kalebas eerst 'gerijpt' worden (ook wel curado genoemd). Een duidelijke instructie voor het rijpen en onderhouden van je kalebas wordt meegeleverd, zodat je er jarenlang plezier van hebt.
