Why we made it
We designed the Nomad around a removable laptop case that can be carried separately when the full backpack is not needed. The 20-liter body keeps books, folders, a charger, and daily essentials together without adding a second main compartment.
MULTIPLE INNER POCKETS
Zipper secured compartments keep your essentials organized and within reach. Dedicated slots for laptops, tablets, and documents, plus zippered pockets for smaller items like cables, chargers, and accessories.
In the Wild
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.
