Italian Leather On The Go Crossbody Bag - #112
Italian Leather Square Crossbody Bag
This ultra light-weight, Bay Area made crossbody bag is perfect for someone on the go. Crafted from buttery soft Italian leather, the square shape offers everyday function with irresistible style.
The bag is finished with the highest quality metal zipper with fully polished elements, YKK’s EXCELLA®. A subtle crystal accent set in gold-tone hardware adds a refined touch on the front. The matching adjustable, detachable strap features a crystal detail on the strap loop and shiny gold hardware. Each bag includes a dust bag and is handmade in beautiful Northern California.
The Handmade Handbag Process
Each design is an extensive process of creating a custom handbag pattern, hand cutting the materials, and meticulously sewing every piece to create a high-quality bag you can wear for years to come. The adjustable strap is beautifully edge painted in black.
The bag is handcrafted personally by Bay Area handbag designer Lisa Ramos in her Clayton, California studio. MONOLISA bags are not mass produced or sold in retail stores. They can only be purchased on this website or at a MONOLISA show. MONOLISA handbags have been featured at the San Francisco American Craft Show and other fine art juried shows.

My Design Process
“My mission is to design beautifully handmade limited edition pieces that add a touch of elegance to any personal style. Each design is an extension of who I am. I fell in love with the creative process because of the unlimited possibilities. My inspiration comes from exploring new ways to improve my designs and creating pieces that require a new skill set... during that process inspiration is born.”
