Italian Leather On The Go Crossbody Bag - #111
Italian Leather Crossbody Bag with Blue Crystals — Bay Area Made
This ultra-lightweight Bay Area made crossbody bag is perfect for someone on the go. Designed in buttery soft Italian leather, this square-shaped strap bag delivers irresistible style with everyday function.
The bag features YKK’s EXCELLA® zipper with fully polished elements for a luxury finish. For a touch of sparkle, three shimmering clear and royal blue crystals are mounted in gold-tone hardware on the front.
The bag includes a matching adjustable, detachable strap with a crystal on the strap loop and shiny gold-tone hardware. It comes with a dust bag and is Bay Area made in Clayton, California by artist Lisa Ramos.
The Handmade Handbag Process
Each 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.
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.

Italian Leather Crossbody Bag Made in USA — Details
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. Natural leather characteristics are visible.
Size: 9" wide | 8" height
Adjustable Edge-Painted Strap: 43"–49" (measured starting from each lobster claw)
Interior: Natural black raw edge

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.
