THE HANDMADE HANDBAG PROCESS
The classic tote bag is a true work of art. The handbag is handcrafted personally by artist, Lisa Ramos in her Clayton, California studio. Lisa's design philosophy is focused on creating high quality handbags you can wear for years to come. What makes a MONOLISA tote bag unique? Each handbag is a one of a kind made piece. The body of the tote bag is designed with a single piece of leather, resulting in a seamless and sophisticated style. Each bag design is an extensive process of sourcing materials, developing a custom handbag pattern, hand cutting leather, working with adhesives, double sewing the bags interior, creating a painted leather flower and surging a storage dustbag. MONOLISA bags are not mass produced or sold in retail stores. Pieces from the collection can only be purchased on this website or at a show. MONOLISA handbags have been featured at the San Francisco American Craft Show and other additional fine art juried shows in California. Lisa's mission is to design beautifully handmade limited edition pieces that add a touch of elegance to any personal style.
