Hopper Crossbody Bag | Women Marines Limited Edition
Honoring Women Who Served | In Celebration of Women Veterans Day – June 12
This limited-edition collection is handcrafted from authentic U.S. Marine Corps women’s summer uniforms—green-and-white pinstriped sets originally introduced in 1952. These uniforms were more than functional—they were a symbol of pride, presence, and progress for the Women Marines.
What makes them even more remarkable? They were designed by Mainbocher, a legendary American couturier whose clients included royalty, Hollywood stars, and First Ladies. Known for his timeless elegance and impeccable tailoring, Mainbocher was one of the few high-fashion designers to lend his talent to military service, creating uniforms for the WAVES and the Women Marines that blended sophistication with strength.
Made from lightweight Dacron and nylon with distinctive green piping and brass insignia, these uniforms brought style and respect to a new generation of women in uniform—those who served stateside, took on non-traditional roles, and helped shape the modern Marine Corps.
Each bag in this collection carries forward that legacy—reclaimed, repurposed, and respectfully remade by our team.
Launching in honor of Women Veterans Day on June 12, this drop pays tribute to the women who’ve served—and those who still do.
This is more than a bag. It’s a salute.

Inspiration Behind the Name:
Grace Hopper—She Developed a New Computer Language
Setting the scene: It’s 1928. Grace Hopper graduates from Vassar with a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and physics. She’s determined to learn more—it’s been this way since she was a little girl. She plans to get her masters and Ph.D. from Yale and she is certain she can do it. This is just the beginning of Miss Grace Hopper.
Writing her legacy: At a young age she showed promising and frankly ultra-impressive initiative. She was determined to serve her country in a huge way and joined the United States Navy Reserve. Her insane smarts landed her a role on the Bureau of Ships Computation Project where she eventually suggested the use of a new programming language using English in place of symbols. Naturally, people were hesitant but were curious. This was the beginning of the computer language “COBOL”. Hopper went on to serve in the military and built important systems for 43 years and retired with the rank of Rear Admiral and decorated with countless awards (excuse us while we pick up our jaw from the floor). Even after her retirement, she worked as a consultant to Digital Equipment Corporation aiding on committees, lecturing, and visiting engineering facilities. Her success in a male dominated field deserves a standing ovation. You go Grace!
Fun fact: she coined the term “debugging” in reference to fixing an issue within a computer when she found an actual moth within the system.
