WELCOME TO OUR WORLD

NOMADESSENCE

“In our evolving world we have an opportunity to reach beyond storytelling to craft legacy through collaboration and synergy.”

- Milena Cvijanovich We are the Glamorous Nomads - unceasingly inspired in our travels and encounters by the concept of Sustainable Luxury.

Is sustainable luxury an oxymoron?

On the contrary, from preserving exquisite, nearly-lost craftsmanship in a hidden valley in Bhutan to promoting a new technology or art that turns harmful waste into gorgeous luxury materials and objects, this exciting duality carries the seeds of resource preservation and community-building needed in our world today with a touch of glamour to turn the heads of the most discerning consumers. The potential for a high-end lifestyle to co-exist with and embody sustainable living is enormous.

Luxury and Sustainability are increasingly being fused in the fashion and food industries where care is being taken to manage both process and product from procurement through to retailing.

In both we find respect for rarity, the notion of time and the importance of heritage. Both can be about creation, education, about pleasure and emotion. And both can be sexy and trendy. Today, we are increasingly able to harness these qualities because the impetus to see these two worlds join forces is on the increase, and marketplaces are responding with care, creativity and innovation.

In over twenty years of globetrotting we have witnessed Dexterity and Invention producing fine products and exemplary services that celebrate a collective human experience interwoven with inspiring stories. The mission of The Glamorous Nomad is to convey the infinite variety of experience and high-end possibilities inherent in Sustainable Luxury as this growing trend develops in the marketplaces and lifestyles of the globe.

At NOMADESSENCE we are dedicated to bringing together companies and individuals who produce and aspire to the very best life has to offer and who are keen to become better guardians of our beautiful planet and its inhabitants without compromising on comfort, pleasure or esthetics. We will cover all aspects of lifestyle from architecture and design to travel, tourism and wellbeing, all inherently oriented to luxury yet grounded on the pillars of sustainability.

Upcycled products, age-old crafts in combination with cutting-edge eco-technology will showcase the “wow” factor you’ve been looking for in your home. Our stories of hidden gems and intriguing activities will support you to exploring lifeenhancing opportunities in a new light.
