Each handbag is a one-of-a-kind piece. The body of the tote is designed with a single piece of leather, resulting in a seamless and sophisticated style. Every bag design is an extensive process of sourcing materials, developing a custom handbag pattern, hand cutting leather, working with adhesives, double sewing the bag’s interior, creating the closure element, and serging a storage dust bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ml-p\"\u003eMONOLISA bags are not mass produced or sold in retail stores. Pieces from the collection can only be purchased on this website or at a show.
