Features

The Nomad Traveler comes in two sizes - a smaller size perfect for overnight trips and a larger version that will be your go-to for weekend escapes. 

With multiple ways to style the bag, you can truly make it fit your vibe. Clip the sides down for a more boxy style. Leave the sides unclipped for a traditional tote shape.  Or, clip the crossbody strap to the side o-rings for a fun slouchy version.
