Overview
RVA is for small business lovers! We want to take our business to the next level with a brick and mortar shop. Our goal is to help stimulate an up and coming retail corridor and be conscious, active participants in our community by providing fair-priced goods for an array of customers, focusing on local vendors and providing space for public conversations.

Hey Young World. The World Is Yours.

The perfect line from Legendary MC Slick Rick. The ideal mantra for our brand, Little Nomad. We are dedicated to creating and sourcing engaging and meaningful goods for your little ones. Our brand, inspired by curiosity, exploration, and community, aims to be a modern alternative to typical retailers. Our name aims to express the wonders of life shown by our little ones. It also serves as our family's acronym - Nora, Myka, Ant, Devan. 

 

Who We Are

Anthony has an extensive background in retail with roles on both the operational and visual side. He currently holds two jobs that directly speak to his passions. Working at the non-profit The Robinson Theater in North Church Hill VA, he is able to engage with and inspire his community on a daily basis. He also spends his mornings at Ledbury selling a top notch product and gaining even more retail insight. Nora is an Early Childhood Special Educator, graduating with her master's degree in Early Childhood Special Education from Virginia Commonwealth University. Recently, Nora became Adjunct Faculty in the School of Professional and Continuing Studies at The University of Richmond.

The Big Idea

The idea for Little Nomad came from an unexpected place. When we became parents in 2012,  we didn't anticipate such a supportive and welcoming community of families.  We didn’t expect to become friends with other adults simply because we both had children. We didn’t expect to be in a babysitting cooperative.

Out of conversations with other parents in our community grew an idea for a shop that we feel our city is missing - a modern children’s apparel shop. We want to provide a space where ALL feel comfortable and represented; a space that showcases high quality, independently produced items that are accessible in price; a space that highlights our local talent and makers.

Our Brands

We've started reaching out to vendors and have been overwhelmed by the response of some of our favorite brands! Here are a few that have committed to working with us so far. We are in "talks" with many other exciting brands. 

Oh My Baby

The Impact

Our City Needs This

Richmond is slated to become home to numerous new businesses. More young professionals and families are flocking to the city in numbers we havent seen in decades. New homes, apartments, and hotels are being built within close proximity. City dwellers expect access to local shopping opportunities. With such a rich history, the Jackson Ward neighborhood and Broad Street corridor make the perfect location for Little Nomad. After many years of neglect, this corridor is once again becoming a destination for locals and out of towners. Little Nomad fills a void in the local shopping scene.  

Partnerships and Collaborations are Important 

One of the best parts of being a small business is helping other small businesses find success. Our goal is to facilitate this success through our shop by using, selling, promoting, and collaborating with other great local products and businesses.

Brick and Mortar Retail Is Alive 

We see this space not only for retail, but as a space created for community focused events, including conversations with local authors and artists, civic meetings, networking gatherings, and workshops focused on the health and wellness of families and our children.

We understand that  selling a shirt isn't going to change the world, but we strongly believe we can change the narrative of what a locally owned shop can do and be for ALL of the community.

*Below is an example of a previous community event that we co-hosted. 

 

Here's Where Your Contribution Goes

With your help we will be able to make Little Nomad shop a reality. Thus far, we have used our business savings for marketing, branding, concept design, website design, licenses, hiring an accountant and lawyer, and deposit on a retail space. The funds you contribute will be used for standard retail start up expenses and assets detailed below.  

Risks & Challenges

Although we are very confident in the success of Little Nomad, all startups come with a certain amount of risk. 

However, we have no doubt we will overcome these risks by:  

  • Relying on strong retail experience    
  • High focus on leveraging Brick and Mortar with online sales
  • Creating strategic and consistent marketing campaigns
  • Working closely with mentors, other Broad Street merchants, and the city's economic development department to help Broad Street become the top shopping destination it deserves to be.                                                                                                          

Spread The Word!

There is no donation too small, but if you are unable to contribute monetarily, get creative! Use Indiegogo's share tools and use the hashtag #littlenomadcrew to tag us! Call your friends and tell them you want to see a new local kids store in Richmond! Calling not your thing? Email and text links of our campaign to your friends and family or share on your social media platforms. Let everyone know about the awesome perks we are offering with contributions. There is nothing we can't do when our community comes together!
