Why we made it

Some meetings need the whole workday, and some only need your laptop. We built the Nomad around a removable case so you can carry either setup without changing bags.

OUR FAMILY WORKSHOP

Made in Southern Brazil

Every Nordweg product is handcrafted in our family workshop in Picada Café, a mountain town in Southern Brazil where our German ancestors established their leatherworking tradition over two centuries ago. We've stewarded that craft for 35 years.

If it carries our name, we stand behind it.
