Dot Slate Nylon + Brown Leather

Dot | Slate Grey Nylon + Brown Leather

Inspired by the spirit of exploration and the journeys that shape us, Slate Nylon is a smooth, modern blend of misty gray and soft sky blue—like the early morning air before takeoff or the quiet stillness before a new beginning.

This color is more than a neutral. It’s a reflection of the life we live in motion—the military journey, the strength in transitions, and the beauty of building home wherever you land.

Whether you're crossing town or crossing continents, Slate is made to move with you.
It's classic yet unexpected. Grounded yet adventurous. Designed to fit every chapter of your story.

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.
