Our Story
Two brothers, one craft, endless dedication
Brothers Nick & Damon Vracin
Nomad Leather was born from the creative partnership of brothers Nick and Damon Vracin. Growing up, we were always drawn to working with our hands, creating things that would last. What started as a shared hobby evolved into a full-fledged passion for leatherworking.
We believe that handmade goods carry a soul that mass production can never replicate. Every stitch, every cut, every detail is a testament to our dedication to the craft. Our workshop is where tradition meets innovation, where old-world techniques are applied with modern sensibility.
Our Philosophy
"USE YOUR TEETH" isn't just our motto—it's our way of life. It represents determination, grit, and the willingness to do whatever it takes to create something exceptional. We don't cut corners, and we don't compromise on quality.
As independent artisans, we maintain complete control over every aspect of our work. We source the finest materials, employ time-tested techniques, and pour our hearts into every piece we create. This independence allows us to stay true to our vision and deliver products that exceed expectations.
Community & Connection
We're proud members of the artisan and small business community. Throughout the year, you'll find us at fairs, festivals, and markets across the Pacific Northwest, connecting with fellow makers and the people who appreciate handcrafted goods.
These events aren't just about selling—they're about building relationships, sharing stories, and celebrating the spirit of independence and craftsmanship that defines our community.
