Hi,

Allow me to introduce myself.

I started Love Nomadic as a hobby in 2013. Although it wasn't named Love Nomadic at the time, I was making & selling products like t-shirts I’d designed, at markets and pop-up trunk shows while simultaneously teaching yoga and practicing massage.

A pivotal three-month journey to India further fueled my vision. During this time, I discovered that I spent more moments sitting cross-legged on dusty shop floors, sipping chai, and collaborating with local tailors and makers than engaging in traditional sightseeing or hanging with fellow backpackers. I was enthralled by the process of making beautiful product and India, with all its rich history in hand made craftsmanship, was the perfect place for me to be. This experience prompted me to reflect on the direction I was heading.

In 2014, I officially registered my company as Love Nomadic. The name drew inspiration from the meaningful relationships I forged while traveling with a modest budget.

Born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, I have resided in the USA since 2000. In 2001, a dear friend entrusted me with establishing his high-end furnishing fabric company, Malabar, in the USA. I managed the operations until 2008 and, in a twist of fate and a tale for another time, now own Malabar.

I hail from a lineage of women skilled in handcrafting, and textiles have been an integral part of my life. The love for the process of bringing something to life has always resonated with me.

I started Love Nomadic with a line of bags predominantly made using discontinued or remnants of stock from Malabar fabrics. You can trust that I am acquainted with the entire lifecycle of these products.

I view these fabrics as living entities. Every step in the process, from dyeing the yarn to spinning, weaving, designing, sewing, packing, and shipping, involves people. It's a predominantly human-powered endeavor.

In 2023 I’m launching a homewares category & I am most excited about the first exclusively designed jewelry collection. As always, I have spent time vetting our manufacturing partners and ensuring we are always working with the right people.

My goal is to make Love Nomadic a lifestyle brand that you can trust. It’s an aesthetic that is true & authentic to me. Devoid of trend; though I may find out that we’re trending, it is not the goal. Rather, I want to provide a brand that is distinctive, creative and offers you product that you appreciate and love.

This, to me, is Love. This encapsulates what Love Nomadic is all about.

I sincerely hope you find as much joy in it as I do.

Warm regards,

Lyn
