About Us

my love letter to Arabia

A Gateway to Heritage

I’m Maria, the founder of Nomadic Camel. This brand is my love letter to the Arabian Peninsula—its people, its patient desert, and the quiet strength of the camel. I started Nomadic Camel with a simple promise: to offer meaningful, beautifully made products that carry our region’s soul, not just its name. Every piece we create is a small doorway into our heritage—told through design, storytelling, and real-world experience.

Our Philosophy

The Bedouins—our nomadic ancestors—learned to thrive in an unforgiving land. With little more than grit and wisdom, they transformed scarcity into ingenuity. The camel was their companion and provider: transport across dunes, warmth in the cold, fiber for weaving, leather for shelter and shoes, milk for nourishment. We honor that legacy by valuing every part of the camel with respect and purpose, crafting products that are useful, lasting, and deeply rooted in place.

Camel is our hero. With care and ethical sourcing, we transform camel leather, hair, and milk into thoughtful pieces—bags to carry your days, shawls to hold your evenings, soaps to soften your routine. These aren’t trinkets. They’re useful, durable, and made to be used, not just displayed. We design for real life—lightweight, travel-friendly, giftable, and unmistakably from Arabia.

We design for real life—lightweight, travel-friendly, giftable, and unmistakably from Arabia
