Canvas bags from a pair who know travel
Dean first chatted up Marnie with the good old: “I’m going overseas forever, wanna join me?” line.
Luckily for him Marnie was a seasoned traveller who thought nothing of blizzards, biking down vertical cliffs, and Bali Belly, and agreed to get to know him better while driving around New Zealand’s South Island in an old van.
While continuing to travel together around much of Asia and the Pacific, Marnie and Dean decided to change their lifestyle and to go where their hearts are.
In 2008 they created Nomad Essentials to celebrate their passion for great design, exploring the unknown, and a shared love of the open road.
Marnie has been crafting with leather for over 15 years and brings a passion for quality craftsmanship to all our gear.
Deans engineering skills means he spends most of his time trying to break things then work out why it broke. Great for quality control.
We believe in the philosophy of travelling light – both environmentally and practically.
We honour quality, organization, comfort and style at the forefront of our design process.
For urban nomads, world travellers and everyday adventurers...
