Mrs. Doyle answered the WWII call to duty and joined the workforce in 1942 at the young age of 17 years old. After her high school graduation, Mrs. Doyle took her first job at the American Broach and Machine Co. near her hometown in Inkster, Michigan as a metal stamper. While working at the factory the United Press International (UPI) visited the factory and took a photo of her, which later inspired the “WE CAN DO IT” poster. Shortly after leaving the factory industry, Mrs. Bell began work at a soda shop where she met a dentist and married. Once married to Leo Doyle, Mrs. Doyle had six children and worked as office manager at her husband’s dentist practice until she was 75 years old. 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.

Suede is sensitive to moisture, so if it gets wet, blot gently with a clean cloth and let it air dry naturally—avoid heat or direct sunlight. For tougher marks, a suede eraser or a light application of white vinegar or rubbing alcohol can help (always test in a hidden spot first). When not in use, store your suede piece in a cool, dry place using a dust bag or breathable cover, and maintain shape with stuffing or shoe trees. Avoid plastic bags and oily surfaces to preserve the suede’s texture and finish.
