Timeless Style, Crafted with Purpose

Transforming handmade craftsmanship through women’s empowerment and enduring design

Crafted with purpose means honoring both ends of the journey:the hands that create, and the woman who chooses to wait.

At La Mona Crafted, timeless style is not about resisting change — it is about creating pieces that remain meaningful beyond trends.

We do not design for seasons or fashion cycles.

We design with intention, believing that true luxury is calm, considered, and made to last.

Each creation is meant to accompany real lives — evolving with the woman who carries it, becoming part of her everyday rituals, memories, and story.

Transforming handmade craftsmanship through women’s empowerment and timeless design

Luxury with a Soul

La Mona Crafted was born from the vision of Mónica Fuentes (La Mona) — a designer, entrepreneur, and believer in the emotional power of handmade craft.

After years of working in design and supporting women through creative transformation, Mónica discovered that crochet held a deeper truth: it could heal, inspire, and empower.


What began as a personal practice evolved into a global mission: To build a luxury brand rooted in humanity — where craft honors the hands behind it, and where every woman who carries a piece becomes part of the story.

“Every bag is a bridge between women’s stories. Creating La Mona Crafted was my way of honoring the power we hold when we create with our hands — to heal, to express, to advance.”
