Black Italian Leather Crossbody Bag with Crystal Elements
This one-of-a-kind handbag was handmade by Northern California artist Lisa Ramos using lightweight black Italian leather. Designed for someone on the go, the timeless silhouette features a soft, luxurious leather with the look and feel of calfskin.
Two shimmering clear crystals set in gold hardware add a subtle touch of sparkle to the front of the bag. A matching black leather strap is finished with polished gold lobster clasps.
Bag Leather: Designed in Italy by a fifth-generation tannery. A specialized vacuuming process creates the leather’s smooth, polished surface while allowing it to continue developing character and a beautiful patina with wear. Natural leather characteristics may be visible.
Size: 9.5" base × 9.5" height
Strap Size: 32" measured from lobster clasp to lobster clasp
Interior: Natural black raw leather finish
This handmade handbag is part of the MONOLISA Collectors Gallery and is no longer available for purchase.
Why Handmade Is Better
Handmade pieces offer something mass-produced products cannot—individual craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and lasting quality.
“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. How My Autism, ADHD & Dyslexia Shape My Creativity.”
