Behind the Scenes

Crafted through thoughtful research.

At Nomad Lane, our research and development spans months or even years. We dive deep into what travelers need, then collaborate with expert designers to craft bags that exceed expectations in both form and function.

Expert craftsmanship, perfected over decades.

In 2019, we relocated production to Vietnam, choosing a factory with a rich history of crafting high-performance bags. After months of research, we found a partner trusted by some of the world's top brands, with expertise dating back to the 1970s.

Materials

Our commitment to quality starts with the materials. We select lightweight yet durable fabrics and trims, and every piece is thoroughly tested to ensure it holds up through all of life's adventures.

  • Zippers

    Zippers are tested to make sure they can withstand all the trips you're going to take!

  • Fabric Stitch

    The strength of the fabric stitches are tested to ensure the correct thread thickness is used for the handles.

Ethical Manufacturing

As part of our commitment to responsible production, we select partners who uphold high ethical standards for their workforce. We prioritize family-run factories with a focus on skilled labor, ensuring that every product is made with care and integrity.

Our manufacturing partners abide by set production hours to ensure employee safety and security.

We visit our partners often and take the time to build strong personal relationships with the owners. We go out to dinner together, make jokes and talk about the ways we can grow together.
