YOUR EVERYDAY TOTE — BUT MAKE IT ART
Most of us run our lives out of flimsy canvas totes while our beautiful designer bags sit untouched in the closet.
This bag is different. Spacious, durable, and unapologetically unique, it’s meant to actually live with you.
From commuting to weekend beach trips, it holds everything your day throws at you — beautifully.
Think of it as your daily command center: commuter flats, gym clothes, a book, your laptop, that UPS return you keep forgetting, yesterday’s jewelry, a birthday card for a friend, or whatever else the day requires.
A statement tote bag that works as hard as you do.

THE STORY
Haus of Nomad began after a trip to Jaipur, where I discovered vintage Kantha textiles made from layers of reclaimed saris.
Passed down through generations, these textiles are hand-stitched using traditional Kantha embroidery, a centuries-old craft that transforms worn fabrics into something entirely new.
Every bag is cut and made from vintage quilts, meaning each Kantha tote bag is completely one-of-a-kind.
No two will ever be the same.

A LEGACY OF REINVENTION
Choosing vintage Kantha is a commitment to sustainability, ethical consumption, and the belief that beauty deepens with time.
These pieces are made for wanderers, storytellers, busy professionals, and anyone who refuses to blend in.
⸻
SUSTAINABLY MADE
Vintage Kantha textiles are created by layering recycled cotton saris and hand-stitching them together.
This process gives new life to existing textiles while preserving traditional artisan craftsmanship.
Choosing Kantha supports:
• textile recycling
• slow fashion over mass production
• traditional hand embroidery
• sustainable materials
A sustainable tote bag with real history.

PLEASE NOTE
Because this bag is made from vintage Kantha textiles, variations in color, stitching, and wear are part of the fabric’s character and history.
