Black Satin Suede Tote Bag

When a customer touches a MONOLISA bag, the first words spoken often are about the ultra-lightness and supreme softness. Tote around town in style with this long satin suede tote designed with patent leather straps. The classic black European suede leather bag is perfect for someone on the go. The beautiful satin-feel leather has water resistant properties.

Floppy handbag straps no more. The tote includes a matching removable patent leather strap holder that opens and shuts with a snap. To add a touch of elegance, the bag is finished with a patent leather fringe detail featuring three sparkling classic clear crystals mounted in silver hardware. Included with the tote is a matching suede pouch designed with a clear crystal—ideal for carrying small bag essentials. The time-less tote comes with a cotton dust bag and is handmade in beautiful Northern California.

What Makes This MONOLISA Tote Bag Unique?

The body of the tote is designed with a single piece of leather, resulting in a seamless and sophisticated silhouette. Each design is an extensive process of creating a custom handbag pattern, hand cutting the materials, and meticulously sewing each piece to create a high-quality bag 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.

Handle Height: 5.5"
Side Width: 4.5"

Interior: Natural black suede raw edge with a handmade double-sided patent leather bottom base to maintain beautiful bag structure and avoid the common sagging of bags.

Customer Reviews

"I recently bought a MONOLISA Black Leather wristlet and I love it!. I love that it is interchangeable, it comes with a detachable strap so it can be worn as a wristlet or a clutch. What I also liked is that the wristlet has a classic look and you can use it for years, its not a fad. Oh and the leather is so so soft!!."
