Nomad the Label Story

BORN FROM JOURNEYS

Clothing Crafted by Nomads for Nomadic Souls 

At Nomad the Label, we embody the spirit of adventure and a profound respect for our planet.  

Established by our founder, Louisa Warman, in 2020 on the vibrant New South Wales coastline, our vision has always been clear: empower women to embrace their love for travel with elegance and comfort. We design with a belief that fashion should be as limitless as the women who wear it — timeless, stylish and profoundly practical.

Central to our ethos is a steadfast commitment to sustainability and unparalleled quality. We cater to the discerning, well-traveled women, creating garments that not only endure but also inspire. By choosing natural fibres like linen and cotton, we ensure each piece enhances personal style as well as champions environmental consciousness.

Meet Our Founder Louisa

Sunchaser. Free Spirit. True Nomad.

Louisa has always been captivated by the idea of exploring the world. Since her early twenties, she has been constantly on the move, chasing the sun, and finding freedom in every moment.

For ten years, Louisa's home was a six-meter-long white van that carried her along the sunlit paths of Australia's East Coast. From the vibrant markets of Melbourne to the tropical allure of Cairns and countless stops in between, she and her husband lived the true nomad's dream. Each winter was spent chasing the sun north to Queensland, setting up their stall at local markets. There, they sold bohemian clothing, homewares, jewelry, and macrame while enjoying the sun-drenched landscape they loved.

"I was done with the bright colors and florals. I wanted to wear something that felt more in tune with my values and my evolving sense of style…. But there was something missing in the market—clothing that resonated with my values of comfort and freedom, designed specifically for women like me who weren't represented by mainstream brands."

This life on the road wasn't just about discovering new places; it was a deep dive into diverse cultures and connecting with people. Louisa thrived under the vast, open skies, her spirit as free as the road was long. The experiences gathered profoundly shaped her understanding of what it means to live comfortably yet stylishly under the sun. These insights would later become the cornerstone of Nomad the Label, a brand inspired by the freedom of the nomadic lifestyle and the practical beauty of living and dressing sustainably.

As time went on, Louisa found herself falling out of love with the bohemian styles she was selling. Her vision for a different kind of clothing line began to take shape.

The turning point came when all markets closed as the world went into lockdown. Louisa came up with the idea of designing comfortable and stylish clothing for women who have lived, loved, and continue to seek out the extraordinary.

That’s how Nomad the Label was born.

Timeless Design and Everyday Elegance, Crafted for Comfort

At the heart of Nomad the Label lies a commitment to an exceptional fit, comfort, and practicality. We engineer our garments to be timeless, classic, and endlessly wearable. 

This design philosophy stems from our deep understanding of what the Nomad woman needs: She’s wise, adventurous, and discerning. She values quality and authenticity in her wardrobe as much as she does in her nomadic life. She wants clothes that can transition seamlessly from a morning at the office to an evening stroll along a foreign boulevard.

Louisa’s expertise in comfort is unparalleled, a skill honed by years of personal experience and feedback from countless market stalls. She can immediately tell if something is going to be uncomfortable. “I am highly irritated by uncomfortable clothing. If it doesn’t feel right, I won’t wear it, and I don’t expect other women to either,” Lousia explains. This is evident in our signature pieces, like effortlessly wide-leg pants with elastic waists that don’t pinch and t-shirts with thoughtful hemlines that move as you do.

That kind of attention to detail is what sets us apart.

Our collections draw inspiration from Louisa’s travels across the globe, particularly her love for the Mediterranean’s light fabrics and relaxed cuts. The airy feel of a linen dress in the Greek Isles, the structured elegance of an Italian blazer, and the casual chic of French countryside attire deeply influence our designs.

EVOLVING WHILE STAYING TRUE TO OUR CORE

Looking forward, we’re set to continue our journey with the same passion and purpose that we started with. We plan to expand our offerings, explore new designs and perhaps even new markets. But our focus will always be on creating timeless, comfortable clothing that makes women (like you) feel free and empowered. 

Join us at Nomad the Label, where every piece of clothing is a testament to life’s journeys. We’re here to empower you to go places with elegance, comfort, and style, whether you’re at work, at home, or exploring the farthest corners of the world.

Thank you for being part of our story. Together, let’s continue to chase the sun.
