The Full Story
Where did we begin...
Hey, I’m Kim, the founder and maker behind Rivet & Rogue — a bold, one-of-a-kind handbag brand with a rebellious heart.
My journey to launching Rivet & Rogue hasn’t followed a straight line — and that’s exactly how I like it. I began my creative path crafting bespoke children’s clothing, and while life led me into a career in financial services, my passion for design and hands-on creation never stopped calling.
Rivet & Rogue is where that passion takes centre stage. Each handbag is handcrafted by me, using upcycled denim, rich textures, statement prints, and edgy hardware — creating pieces that are as unique and unapologetic as the women who wear them. No mass production, no copies — just individual bags with soul, story, and serious attitude.
This brand is about more than accessories. It’s about embracing your edge, standing out, and owning your style — rogue spirit and all.
Welcome to rivet & Rogue. I’m so glad you’re here.
Behind the name...
Rivet & Rogue was born from the details that define every bag I make. The “Rivet” stands for the signature studs and metal accents I use to give each piece its bold, edgy character. And “Rogue”? That’s my design philosophy. I don’t follow the rules or stick to safe, neutral styles — I create on instinct, using unexpected textures, prints, and shapes to craft bags that stand out. No two are the same, and that’s exactly the point. Rivet & Rogue is for those who dare to be different.
Why dont I do bespoke orders or repeats...
One of the most special things about Rivet & Rogue is that no two bags are ever the same — and that’s by design. I don’t take custom orders or recreate past pieces because creativity, for me, is all about freedom. I make each bag in the moment, guided by the materials in front of me and the mood I’m in — not a template or a plan.
This approach means every bag carries its own personality and story. Once it’s gone, it’s truly one-of-a-kind — just like the person who ends up wearing it.
So if something speaks to you, grab it. There won’t be another.
