The Handmade Handbag Process
Each MONOLISA design is an extensive process of creating a custom handbag pattern, hand cutting materials, and meticulously sewing each piece to create a high-quality bag you can wear for years to come. The adjustable strap is beautifully edge painted in black.
Each 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 are available exclusively 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.”
