Vacation bound? Bring texture and traction along for the ride.

Our textiles love a good adventure, whether lining the floor of Rivian’s all-electric trucks and SUVs or brightening up the walls of a tricked-out tribute to the iconic Volkswagen bus. The latter is a specialty of Nomad Vanz, which creates custom overland expedition vans for lovers of modern design and the great outdoors. None of the North Vancouver-based company’s colorful vehicles are complete without a Shag mat.

“We pride ourselves on using innovative materials that can withstand the wildest of adventures and look good doing it,” says Christina Yau, co-founder and creative director of Nomad Vanz. “Thoughtful touches that bring the comforts of home on the road and off the grid make a huge difference. Chilewich Shag mats have become a staple of our vehicles, because their colors and textures define a space, making it happy and fun. Plus, they’re easy to clean and virtually indestructible!”
