Take the Leap: A Celebration of Courage and Creativity

Introducing the Take The Leap collection by R. Riveter
This collection is more than just a line of handcrafted bags; it’s a tribute to bold dreams, unwavering courage, and the power of embracing the unknown. Featuring the inspiring story of artist and former U.S. Army service member Larissa Ann, this collection invites you to trust your journey, follow your heart, and take that leap into the life you’ve always imagined.

The Story Behind "Take the Leap"

In 2020, Larissa Ann was commissioned to create Sergeant Reckless, a life-sized horse statue honoring Gold Star families and the military community near Southern Pines, NC. This deeply personal project raised over $40,000 for nonprofits and stands as a powerful testament to her commitment to giving back. Larissa Ann’s journey—from enlisting in the U.S. Army to deployments overseas and now pursuing her creative aspirations—reminds us that following our hearts can lead to extraordinary places.

Life is filled with moments of opportunity, but it’s only by leaping into the unknown that we discover our true potential. Larissa Ann's story lies at the heart of this collection, with the iconic winged horse emblem symbolizing her transformative journey.
