Handmade in California
Each handbag is personally crafted by Lisa Ramos in her Clayton California studio.

Many MONOLISA handbags are one-of-a-kind or produced in very small runs.
Lightweight Luxury
Premium leathers and thoughtful design make the bags elegant yet easy to carry.
The Handmade Handbag Process
Each handbag is handcrafted personally by artist Lisa Ramos in her Clayton California studio. The design process includes sourcing materials, creating handbag patterns, cutting leather, assembling components, sewing, and finishing each bag by hand.
