Lavender Leather Over-the-Shoulder Tote Bag with Crystal Accents

Elevate your style with this stunning over-the-shoulder tote that adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any outfit. Expertly crafted from fine American tanned leather, this lavender handbag features three shimmering clear crystal elements that blend luxury with everyday functionality.

The delicate lavender hue brightens your look while the spacious design makes it a go-to tote for any occasion. The bag is finished with solid brass hardware details throughout, plus a spring closure and stainless-steel purse feet to help protect the base.

To maintain that beautiful bag structure and avoid the common sagging of bags, this design includes a handmade double-sided matching leather bottom base. The handbag comes with a muslin cotton dust bag.

The Handmade Handbag Process

This classic tote is handcrafted personally by artist Lisa Ramos in her Clayton, California studio. Lisa’s design philosophy is focused on creating high quality handbags you can wear for years to come.

What makes a MONOLISA tote bag unique? Each handbag is a one-of-a-kind made piece. The body of the tote is designed with a single piece of leather, resulting in a seamless and sophisticated style.

Each bag is an extensive process of sourcing materials, developing a custom handbag pattern, hand cutting leather, skiving, working with adhesives, sewing, creating a painted leather flower, and surging a storage dust bag. MONOLISA bags are not mass produced or sold in retail stores—pieces can only be purchased on this website or at a show. MONOLISA handbags have been featured at the San Francisco American Craft Show and other additional fine art juried shows in California.

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.
