Announcing Shell Cordovan Limited Edition Wallet

Today we are announcing a Nomad first: our limited edition Shell Cordovan Bifold Wallet, handmade entirely in the USA. We produced this wallet in collaboration with Ashland Leather Co. and used Shell Cordovan leather from the Horween Tannery for this product. 250 of each color wallet were produced, so this is a limited run Nomad wallet. We will also be donating $100 from the sale of each wallet to the National Urban League, one of the oldest community organizations in the USA dedicated to economic and racial justice.

Nomad & Dawn Patrol

Nomad is lucky to be based in coastal California, and when the surf comes up, we take full advantage of some flexible office hours, preferring to work into the night and spend our mornings in the water. Ok sometimes these sessions last a little longer than we plan on but you know that they say: the best day working is worse than the worst day surfing. However, even when we are in the water, we are doing product research and development, testing our Apple Watch Straps in the cold of the Pacific Ocean

Maiden Voyage

There's something enticing about buying an old car online and planning to drive it across the desert. Sure the risk is high: the bankruptcy auction you purchased the '69 VW Beetle from made it sound and look much better than it was, and when you drive it to California from Eastern Arizona, it doesn't even make 100 miles when the transmission blows, and you're stuck with no service and a lot of ocotillos.

Our Support for Racial Justice

Last week, we thought about ways Nomad could help Black Lives Matter protesters, beyond an IG post and a tweet. So we donated 4,440 total masks to community organizers in Minneapolis as a start. One of the things unique to Nomad is our ability to quickly ship PPE to those who need it. We thought that getting masks to protesters and communities who are organizing for justice right now, was one of the ways we could immediately help out those on the ground. Making sure people have adequate PPE to protect themselves and others while protesting is something that we can do as a company right now.
