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.

Product Care

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.  
  
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.

In the event that you’re undercharged for shipping, we will cover the difference at no additional cost to you.

  • the item and damage to the item
  • in some cases, the carrier will request an onsite inspection, so please retain all packaging until the claims process has been completed

For USPS Shipments - You handle the claim.
USPS requires the physical item and original packaging, so the quickest way to file the claim is to take the item and all of the original packaging to the nearest post office and file the claim. 

We do not accept back damaged merchandise, so complying with the above instructions is the only way to receive a refund for damaged products. Refunds/replacements for damaged products will be issued once the shipping claim has been completed.
