Inspiration Behind the Name

The Ida Mini envelope card holder is named after Ida Cook, a romance novelist who helped smuggle Jewish people out of Germany during World War II. Born in 1904 in England, Ida Cook wrote and published 112 romance novels during her lifetime.

Ida and her sister, Mary Louise Cook, used the funds from her writing to help 29 people escape Germany. Both opera buffs, the pair flew to Germany repeatedly under the pretext of attending the opera, where they then arranged for safe passage for the refugees. Some suspect that the sisters were also spies for the British government, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

We’re honoring Ida Cook for her bravery and her commitment to helping those in need.

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.
