More Than a Month: Honoring Military Appreciation Month at R. Riveter

Every May, we celebrate Military Appreciation Month: a time to recognize the service, sacrifice, and strength of our nation’s military community. But for us at R. Riveter, appreciation isn't reserved for just one month. It’s woven into everything we do, every day.

R. Riveter was founded by military spouses who understood the challenges of frequent moves, deployments, and building a career in the face of uncertainty. What started as a bold idea between two women has grown into a national movement to support and empower military spouses, veterans, and families. Our mission is grounded in gratitude for the people who serve and the loved ones who serve right alongside them.

The People Behind the Mission

Every Signature handbag that carries the R. Riveter name is handcrafted by a team of military spouses who know what it means to adapt, persevere, and hold fast to hope. Each stitch tells a story of resilience, determination, and pride.

When you carry a Signature R. Riveter bag, you’re not just carrying a beautiful, functional piece. You’re carrying a piece of someone’s journey. Someone who packed up their life with every PCS, held down the home front during deployment, or transitioned from service back into civilian life. You’re investing in opportunities and dreams for families who give so much.

Every purchase from R. Riveter gives back to military families.

Honoring Through Action

During Military Appreciation Month, we pause to reflect, but more importantly, we take action. At R. Riveter, that means:

• Creating portable careers for military spouses through our Riveter Nation network

• Hiring veterans and military family members across all areas of our company

• Partnering with organizations that uplift and advocate for the military community

• Telling authentic stories of strength, struggle, and triumph

We believe appreciation is more than a thank you; it’s a commitment. To listen. To learn. To stand by those who serve in every capacity.

A Heartfelt Thank You

To our service members: thank you for your bravery, your commitment, and your willingness to sacrifice for something greater than yourself.

To our military spouses: thank you for your strength in the shadows, for the sacrifices few see, and for keeping families grounded through the storms.

To our veterans: thank you for your service and your continued impact on our communities.

To our R. Riveter customers: thank you for supporting this mission and showing up for the military community in real, meaningful ways.

This May, and every day, we honor you. Because at R. Riveter, military appreciation is more than a moment; it’s our movement.
