Each R.Riveter handbag takes a journey across the country before arriving at your doorstep. Components are crafted by independent military spouses in their homes around the nation and shipped to R.Riveter's FabShop in North Carolina to be assembled into a one-of-a-kind product.

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.

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.

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.

There are few things more American than denim - from its origin in the flyover states, being issued to war workers during WWII, to mid-century icons and the classic styles we know today, denim is rooted deep. Our Denim Stripe is a chic rendition of one of our best-selling textiles. A light blue wash makes this collection a true summer dream.
