When our Co-founders were new military spouses they became friends off of mutual pain they shared. The pain of not being able to find meaningful employment despite their qualifications due to the tranisent lifestyle of the military. When they dug down they realized that this was a bigger problem and that 57% of military spouses did not work outside of their home. They set out to create mobile flexible income not just for themselves but for those in their same shoes. 

After charging two thousand dollars each to their credit cards, Lisa and Cameron purchased a commercial sewing machine and a small supply of leather and canvas. At first, it was a two-woman operation, but as demand grew, so did the team. AND SO R. RIVETER BEGAN

MORE THAN A BAG

BAGS ON A MISSION

Making bags that help you look good, feel good and DO good

IT IS MORE THAN A NAME

WHO IS ROSIE?

Rosie the Riveter was a former housewife who turned into a war hero in the 1940’s. Rosie rose out of her normal day-to-day to build the machinery necessary to fight and win World War II. She symolbizes patriotism, strength and the hustle and grit we believe in here at R. Riveter. We honor her legacy by creating handbags to employ military spouses not to find military spouses to make handbags. We believe in being a company and woman who work hard to solve a problem like Rosie.

"Rosie the Riveter embodies everything that we stand for. Our mission is a bit more modern, but her spirit and 'we can do it' attitude still apply." This attitude we carried to solve problems for military wives but we also wanted to make a product that could solve problems for woman all around the world. We do that by creating a handbag that helps in three different ways!

LOOK GOOD

FEEL GOOD
