The Handmade Handbag Process

The body of the bag is designed with a single piece of leather, resulting in a seamless and sophisticated style. Each design is an extensive process of creating a custom handbag pattern, serging a dust bag, sourcing raw materials, hand cutting the materials, treating the leather, and meticulously sewing each piece to create a high-quality piece you can wear for years to come.

The 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 can only be purchased on this website or at a MONOLISA show.

MONOLISA handbags have been featured at the San Francisco American Craft Show and other additional fine art juried shows. MONOLISA’s mission is to design beautifully handmade limited-edition pieces that add a touch of elegance to any personal style.

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.”
