INSPIRATION BEHIND THE NAME

The Otto was named after one of the original Rosie the Riveter’s, Mrs. Elinor Otto. When WWII began and men were pulled away from their jobs to serve their country, Mrs. Otto was one of the nearly 6 million women who went to work to keep the country moving forward. She worked until 2014 when she was laid off when the BOEING Plant shut down operations. She was responsible for working on every single C-17 plane that went through that plant.

The Otto is a special handbag. Not only does it pay homage to an incredible woman who helped pave the way for 21st century working women, it also empowers military spouses today. Each part and piece of the Otto is handcrafted by military spouses across the country, allowing them to earn flexible, mobile income in a transient life with their soldier.

Inspiration Behind the Name

The Hobby is named after Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, wife of former Texas Governor William P. Hobby. A strong and courageous woman, Mrs. Hobby began her career after graduating from University of Texas Law School at the Texas House of Representatives. A writer at heart, she eventually went to work for the Houston Post-Dispatch. During a time when women working as executives were almost unheard of, she proudly served as the executive vice president chair of the newspaper. Mrs. Hobby went on to publish books on parliamentary law, serve as the Chief of the Women's Division of the Bureau of Public Relations in the War Department and was a founder of the Women's Auxiliary Army Corps. She worked in radio and television, and played an active role in the election of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. She continued on to become the director of the Federal Security Administration (FSA) and the first secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Mrs. Hobby was the second woman in history to ever hold a U.S. Cabinet position.

The Hobby handbag represents a woman who will go down in history as one of the most courageous and empowered women of her time. Not only does this bag honor an incredible leader, it empowers modern day women who are paving a path for themselves amidst challenges. Each part and piece of the Hobby is handcrafted by military spouses across the country, allowing them to earn flexible, mobile income in a transient life with their soldier.

A paired down take on our best selling handbag, The Dot is a canvas and leather satchel that will carry you through the day.

This casual but graceful pocketbook is the perfect size and extremely functional. It's the go-with-anything, take-anywhere accessory.

With just enough volume and an elegant silhouette, the Dot features a zippered main compartment with an interior zipper pocket for securing valuables, as well as two interior pockets to keep her things as put together as she is. There are also two open exterior pockets for quick access.

The Dot satchel features our classic natural + black vertical striped liner and iconic yellow support tag.

Inspiration behind the name

The Dot is named for Dorothy Braden who was a high school physics and french teacher until she heard that the Army was looking for college-educated southern teachers. The details of the position were vague and the strange interview was held in a random hotel room, but according to her she was "up for anything at that point." 

In just a few weeks, Dot learned Japanese and became an expert cryptographer. She even knew that the Japanese had surrendered before President Truman did. This job was very hush-hush, so Dot and her coworkers were threatened with espionage punishable by life in prison. 

In 2017, after the NSA declassified everything, Dot was eventually convinced to tell her amazing story which can now be enjoyed for generations to come. 

The Dot is a special handbag. Not only does it pay homage to an incredible woman, it also empowers military spouses today. Each part and piece of the Dot is handcrafted by military spouses across the country, allowing them to earn flexible, mobile income in a transient life with their soldier.

 About our Spring 2021 Emerge Collection

Like anything relating to growth, there’s a natural progression during a transition. There comes a point when it’s time to take a leap and to trust that the work you put in will catch you. Our first step—serenity, has brought us to a place where we are centered and at peace with who we are and where we are going. The next step is to emerge. Emerging can mean so many things from adding onto the things in our lives or completely leaving some things behind. If they don’t serve you, why are you still paying them any mind?

Emerge is defined as “moving out of or away from something and coming into view; to become apparent, important, or prominent.”

The Emerge Collection inspires boldness and wakes you from your complacency. Leave the habits that don’t serve you behind. It’s time to emerge from the old you.

She worked until 2014 when she retired from Boeing, where she was responsible for working on every single C-17 plane that went through the plant.

Inspiration behind the name

Susie King Taylor—A Fearless Educator 

Susie King Taylor was born in a time when it was illegal for Black women to get an education. Thankfully and rightfully, this did not stop her from seeking out a secret school that would teach her how to read. As we all know, knowledge is power, so this is where her story takes flight. Her education got the attention of Union officers who offered her the role of teaching their youth (and some adults). She was only 14. *gasps* 

We know what you’re thinking, “how did a 14-year-old run a school of 40 kids?” And the answer to that would be, with patience and grace. Taylor was eager to teach other freed Black Americans how to read since she saw the opportunity her education had given her.   

Along her way, she met and married Edward King, an officer with the First South Carolina Volunteers of African Descent. When it came time for them to relocate, she followed as a nurse, still teaching many adults and children along the way. When the war was over, she was able to open a (non-secret) school for freed children. *You go girl!* 

In her spare time, she was able to write down a detailed memoir about her time in the war—the only memoir of this kind ever written by a Black woman. (Incredible) Susie King Taylor knew the power of education and we are so proud to honor her for her willingness to share it with others to better their lives.

About our Spring 2021|Serenity Collection

The Transition Collection is about finding beauty in the details. It focuses on keeping your Zen amid an ever-changing life around you. Finding ourselves in a new world of change can be stressful and cause uncertainty. These are the times we most want to recoil into our safe space of complacency. Transition challenges this mindset and pushes to break free from it entirely. Find peace in places you’ve never thought to look and learn how to change your perception of the world around you. Transition is about shifting expectations to be more positive and allowing yourself to shatter the status quo.

As we embark on learning to be liberated from these fears this season, we will focus on three key words—Serenity, Emerge, and Transform.

Serenity is the first essential need within a transition. Defined as a state of being. This is about a mindset shift.

About our Earthly Twilight Collection

The Earthly Twilight Collection explores the stages of the sun and what its position can make us feel. Twilight is the moment when the sun is resting just below the horizon before it rises or after it has set. It leaves us with a soft glow and powdery hues. This quiet moment brings about optimism for the day that will come or the resetting and leaving behind the worries of a day that has passed.

It is when we can hear the smallest of creatures rejoicing to one another and sets the tone for the day that will follow.

Inspiration behind the Name

The Dot is named for Dorothy Braden who was a high school physics and french teacher until she heard that the Army was looking for college-educated southern teachers. The details of the position were vague and the strange interview was held in a random hotel room, but according to her she was "up for anything at that point."

In just a few weeks, Dot learned Japanese and became an expert cryptographer. She even knew that the Japanese had surrendered before President Truman did. This job was very hush-hush, so Dot and her coworkers were threatened with espionage punishable by life in prison. 

In 2017, after the NSA declassified everything, Dot was eventually convinced to tell her amazing story which can now be enjoyed for generations to come. 

The Dot is a special handbag. Not only does it pay homage to an incredible woman, it also empowers military spouses today. Each part and piece of the Dot is handcrafted by military spouses across the country, allowing them to earn flexible, mobile income in a transient life with their soldier.

Maintenance of R. Riveter Leather: 
We love using real veg tanned leather in our handbags because they just better with age.  If you happen to get scratches or water marks, you can usually get the bag looking new again with just a little maintenance.

Canvas Care Suggestions: 
When spot cleaning the canvas, we suggest using a brush or sponge with water only to wipe it off soiled area. We do not recommend using anything other than water as it could discolor canvas material.

INSPIRATION BEHIND THE NAME

The Otto was named after one of the original Rosie the Riveter’s, Mrs. Elinor Otto. When WWII began and men were pulled away from their jobs to serve their country, Mrs. Otto was one of the nearly 6 million women who went to work to keep the country moving forward. She worked until 2014 when she was laid off when the BOEING Plant shut down operations. She was responsible for working on every single C-17 plane that went through that plant.

The Otto is a special handbag. Not only does it pay homage to an incredible woman who helped pave the way for 21st century working women, it also empowers military spouses today. Each part and piece of the Otto is handcrafted by military spouses across the country, allowing them to earn flexible, mobile income in a transient life with their soldier.

 About our Spring 2021 Emerge Collection

Like anything relating to growth, there’s a natural progression during a transition. There comes a point when it’s time to take a leap and to trust that the work you put in will catch you. Our first step—serenity, has brought us to a place where we are centered and at peace with who we are and where we are going. The next step is to emerge. Emerging can mean so many things from adding onto the things in our lives or completely leaving some things behind. If they don’t serve you, why are you still paying them any mind?

Emerge is defined as “moving out of or away from something and coming into view; to become apparent, important, or prominent.”

The Emerge Collection inspires boldness and wakes you from your complacency. Leave the habits that don’t serve you behind. It’s time to emerge from the old you.
