Monique Tassel Clutch – Black Italian Leather with Crystals


The one of a kind handmade Monique clutch handbag is perfect for day to night style.  The bag is made with high quality European and Italian leathers. The zipper pull is a black suede tassel with clear crystals on the cap. Each crystal is meticulously hand-placed by hand. The handbag is handmade by California Artist Lisa Ramos. 

Color:  Black
Bag Leather:  Designed in Italy by a fifth-generation tannery. Its luxurious look and feel is achieved through a vacuuming process that shrinks the leather to provide a smooth, polished surface that will continue to burnish and polish with wear, growing more beautiful with age.
Tassel Leather: The suede leather comes from a European tannery featuring a beautiful, luxurious nap and the soft, supple feel of “real suede”, imparting this leather with a stunning tracking effect. The leather has a specific tanning process, waterproofing the leather for better and easier maintainability.
Size: about 8.5" base | 5.5" Height | Top Length 8.5"
Interior: Natural raw edge black

Behind the scenes of handmade leather bag making by California designer Lisa Ramos

Why Handmade Is Better

Handmade pieces offer something mass-produced products cannot—individual craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and lasting quality.

• Made in small batches, not mass produced
• Greater attention to detail and finishing
• Supports independent artists and small business
• More unique, collectible, and personal
California Handbag & Jewelry Designer, Lisa Ramos

Mission & Inspiration

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.
