About Nouvelle Nomad
Nouvelle Nomad is a sustainability led homewares, travel and lifestyle brand and online retailer of authentic vintage Moroccan rugs & artisan made wares.
Since 2016 we've been partnering with local family businesses, artisan makers and specialist carpet traders here in Morocco to lovingly curate our collection of vintage and newly handwoven Berber carpets, ceramics, homewares & travel goods.
I hope you'll love exploring our sustainably handmade treasures to bring memories of travels into your home. Or perhaps find some inspiration for your next trip to Morocco.

About our rugs
Our rugs are all unique one-offs and authentic vintage finds originating from the various Berber tribes and traditional handcraft regions of Morocco.
Mostly aged between 30 to 80 years old each rug is a unique handwoven artwork full of history and character, perfectly aged in all the right places.
The ultimate in sustainable homewares, we love giving new life to the beautiful treasures that already exist rather than producing more.
Authentic Vintage Pieces
Handwoven on traditional looms in 100% wool with natural plant and vegetable dyes.
Each vintage rug is lovingly hand washed and hand restored by our artisan partners here in Marrakech.
1% For the Planet
As a member of 1% for the Planet, 1% of every purchase is pledged towards environmental causes.
Planting native trees with Greenfleet and supporting other local charities and non-profits along the way.
Sustainably Handmade
We work directly with traditional artisan makers to produce our ceramics, homewares and travel collections.
Handmade in traditional methods in natural materials from the earth and premium vegetable tanned leathers.
Partner with us

Hello! I'm Bridget
Based somewhere in the world between Melbourne, Marrakech and more recently a move to London UK.
I founded Nouvelle Nomad back in 2016 to share the joys of travel and adventure, collecting these beautiful treasures along the way.
What started as a few solo trips to Morocco, eventually led me to setting up a home base in Marrakech, and travelling extensively through this diverse and welcoming country.
Over the last 8 years Nouvelle Nomad has been more than just a business to me.
The connections formed with long time suppliers and friends, Marrakech's creative community, and the vibrancy of the city that has been my second home keeps me forever inspired.
I hope that you'll find something in the collection that sparks joy in you, or reminds you of your own travels.
And that my travel guides and stories from the road will perhaps inspire your next trip to Morocco too.
Get in contact any time if you have any questions about the collection or need some help with your selection.
Or if you're passing through the same part of the world as me, say hello!
Connect with me here on instagram where I love sharing the journey.
Or bridgetjohn.com.au to learn more about my other work as a brand consultant.
