The Mini Hopper — Support the Troops Collection
Part of our Support the Troops Collection, this special edition Mini Hopper brings the meaning behind our yellow Support tag to the forefront.
For military families, yellow has long represented a promise—a symbol of support, resilience, and the hope of a safe return home. It's a tradition woven into generations of American service and one that has been quietly reflected in every R. Riveter bag from the beginning.
Crafted in rich yellow waxed canvas, the Mini Hopper honors the service members, spouses, families, and communities who have carried the weight of service for 250 years.
As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, this collection celebrates the enduring spirit of those who serve and those who stand beside them.
A symbol of support, carried with purpose.

Inspiration Behind the Name:
Grace Hopper—She Developed a New Computer Language
Setting the scene: It’s 1928. Grace Hopper graduates from Vassar with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and physics. She’s determined to learn more—it’s been this way since she was a little girl. She plans to get her master's and Ph.D. from Yale, and she is certain she can do it. This is just the beginning of Miss Grace Hopper.
Writing her legacy: At a young age she showed promising and frankly ultra-impressive initiative. She was determined to serve her country in a huge way and joined the United States Navy Reserve. Her insane smarts landed her a role on the Bureau of Ships Computation Project where she eventually suggested the use of a new programming language using English in place of symbols. Naturally, people were hesitant but were curious. This was the beginning of the computer language “COBOL”. Hopper went on to serve in the military and built important systems for 43 years and retired with the rank of Rear Admiral and decorated with countless awards (excuse us while we pick up our jaw from the floor). Even after her retirement, she worked as a consultant to Digital Equipment Corporation aiding on committees, lecturing, and visiting engineering facilities. Her success in a male dominated field deserves a standing ovation. You go Grace!
Fun fact: she coined the term “debugging” in reference to fixing an issue within a computer when she found an actual moth within the system.
How to Clean a Canvas Bag:
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.
How to Care for Leather Handbags:
We love using real genuine leather in our handbags because they just get 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. Please click here to read about how to care for your genuine leather.
