Carry the Mission. Stitch the Legacy.
Not just a handbag. A history. A heartbeat. A hero’s legacy.
R. Riveter is on a mission to honor the veterans who came before us by transforming the uniforms, wool blankets, and military textiles of yesterday into modern-day heirlooms — handbags and accessories that carry their stories into every corner of everyday life. All handcrafted in America. All built with purpose.
We're raising $300,000 to expand our Heirloom and Signature Collections, scale our American-made production, and continue to tell the stories of courage, service, and sacrifice—one bag at a time.
When you support this campaign, you’re not just helping grow a business. You’re helping preserve legacies, empower military spouses with meaningful work, and keep the spirit of service alive in homes and hearts across the country.
This Isn’t Just a Bag—It’s a Battle Cry.
This Isn’t Just a Bag—It’s a Battle Cry.
Preserve history. Empower families. Build something that lasts.
-
Your Family's Story Deserves to Live On: The wool blanket your grandfather carried in WWII. The uniform your spouse wore through deployments. We turn those personal artifacts into timeless, usable works of art — preserving memory in the most meaningful way possible.
-
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.
