How to Open & Close a MONOLISA Tote Bag

Some MONOLISA leather tote bags feature a spring front closure designed to help keep the bag secure while maintaining a clean, sculpted look. If you are new to this style of closure, this quick video shows how it opens and closes.

How the Spring Closure Works

  1. Hold the front closure gently with one hand.
  2. Lift the spring closure to release and open the tote.
  3. To close the bag, bring the closure back into position.
  4. Press it securely into place so the front of the tote stays closed.

Each MONOLISA tote bag is handmade one at a time by Artist Lisa Ramos. Small design details, including closures and hardware, are selected to support the structure, function, and finished look of each individual bag.
