I share occasional updates from my studio, upcoming California art shows, and the stories behind my one-of-a-kind jewelry and leather designs — written personally by me.
When customers first touch a MONOLISA bag, the words we hear most often are about the ultra-light feel and supreme softness. This elegant leather tote is designed for someone on the go and crafted from premium Italian vegetable-tanned embossed croc leather.
To add a refined touch of detail, the tote features a removable leather fringe accent finished with clear crystal elements set in silver-tone hardware. The bag includes a hand-cut matching leather mini pouch measuring approximately 3.5" × 3.5" — ideal for coins, earbuds, or small essentials. This timeless tote comes with a dustbag and is Bay Area made.
Bag Leather: Designed in Italy by a fifth-generation tannery. Its luxurious look and feel are achieved through a vacuuming process that shrinks the leather, creating a smooth, polished surface that will continue to burnish and develop character with wear. Natural leather characteristics are visible.
Size: Approximately 7.5" base | 8.25" height
Interior: Natural raw edge
MONOLISA handbags have been featured at the San Francisco American Craft Show and other fine art juried shows.
