Inspiration Behind the Name
The Williams Tote was inspired by Cathay Williams.
In 1844, Cathay Williams was born a slave in Independence, Missouri. (Ironic, right?)
Cathay was “freed” by the Union Forces who then volun-told her she would work as a cook and laundress. Not wanting to be a burden on her family when the Civil War ended, Cathay posed as a man – William Cathay – to join the newly formed 38th Infantry Regiment known as the Buffalo Soldiers.
(Talk about a “We Can Do It” attitude.)
Crazy enough, it took years for her identity as a woman to be discovered. While the details of Cathay’s death are unknown, we do know this – Cathay was a woman determined to course her own life, the first black woman to enlist and the only female Buffalo Soldier.
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.
