Support the Mission. Carry the Legacy.

A New Chapter in Florida—Built on Grit and Purpose

For the past few years, we’ve been navigating a tough reality behind the scenes. Our production facility—originally designed to be an economic development hub—turned out to be structurally unsound after years of heavy construction around us. Despite the dust, delays, and disruption, we kept showing up. We kept making bags. And we stayed focused on the mission.

This spring, we were informed that the entire right side of the building needed to be rebuilt, and we made the difficult—but necessary—decision to relocate. Moving a full-scale operation is no small task, especially in an industry already weighed down by rising costs and shrinking margins. But we chose to adapt, not litigate. Because our mission matters more.

 

As a U.S.-assembled brand, we’ve always fought hard to keep production here at home—even when competing with lower-priced imports. And we’ve carried the weight of that: wanting our bags to remain accessible, without compromising on quality or impact. We’ve found new efficiencies, launched accessible collections, and stayed committed to the military spouses who craft each part with purpose.

Now, we’re raising $300,000 to turn the page—to leave the challenges behind, relocate our operations, and scale our Signature Collection, returning to the durable materials and values that built this brand. Your support helps us invest in the future while honoring where we started: with strength, service, and bags that are made to last.

This Isn’t Just a Bag—It’s the Fabric of Our Story.

This Isn’t Just a Bag—It’s the Fabric of Our Story.

Inspired by service. Powered by resilience. Made for everyday

  • Our Signature Collection is where R.Riveter’s mission comes to life—durable canvas, genuine leather, and purposeful design inspired by our military roots. These are the bags built to do it all—crafted with care, made to last, and created in partnership with military spouses across the country. This campaign helps us scale the Signature Collection and return to the strength and utility that started it all.

  • American-Made with Purpose: Every bag is handmade by military spouses across the country—craftswomen who sew strength, resilience, and pride into every stitch. It's not just about fashion. It’s about freedom, community, and honoring sacrifice.

  • More Than a Product—A Movement: From two women in a garage to a nationwide network of military families, R. Riveter is redefining what it means to create impact through entrepreneurship. This campaign powers the next chapter of that journey.

YOU ARE FUNDING MORE THAN A BAG

Here’s how your donation strengthens purpose, craftsmanship, and community:

  • Investing in tools, training, and support for the military spouses who craft the parts that make each bag possible

  • Relocating to a new production and fulfillment center in Lakeland, Florida to continue U.S production

  • Creating campaigns that amplify the voices and stories of service and strength behind every bag

  • Continuing to hire and train military spouses across the country as part of our distributed manufacturing model

“When we started R. Riveter, it wasn’t about handbags. It was about heart. About building something bigger than ourselves. Today, we’re asking you to help us carry this mission forward. To honor the past. To empower the present. And to invest in a future where every stitch tells a story worth remembering.”

— Lisa Bradley, Co-Founder & CEO
