About La Mona Crafted
Who is La Mona Crafted and what makes your brand special?
La Mona Crafted is a community-driven brand born from a love for artisanal
craftswomanship , sustainability, and female empowerment. Each of our bags is more than an accessory — it’s a story: handcrafted by skilled women artisans who honor traditional techniques, using responsibly sourced materials. By choosing La Mona Crafted, you're supporting a cycle of conscious creation, ethical production, and timeless elegance.
What values drive La Mona Crafted?
We believe in sustainability, respect for craftswomanship , community, and empowerment. We commit to ethical sourcing, minimal environmental impact, fair pay for our artisans, and fostering a supportive sisterhood of women who value quality, authenticity and conscious style.
What does “The Virtuous Circle” mean at La Mona Crafted?
The “Virtuous Circle” is our vision of a positive, sustainable community where every woman involved — from artisan to client — is part of a meaningful ecosystem. As a customer, you affirm the value of handcrafted work; as a community member, you help spread awareness and support for slow fashion, ethical production, and female entrepreneurship. Every purchase, share, and story helps close the circle: empowering artisans, honoring craft, and bringing conscious style to women everywhere.
Craftswomanship & Materials
Are all La Mona Crafted bags handmade? Will each piece be identical?
Yes — every bag is lovingly handmade by a skilled artisan, so no two pieces are exactly alike. Subtle differences in weave, color shade or texture are a mark of authenticity, not defects. Each bag carries its own uniqueness, making it truly one-of-a-kind.
What materials do you use, and why are they special?
We use high-quality, responsibly sourced materials — selected for durability, ethical origin and minimal environmental impact. Our materials or other materials are chosen for their natural finish, longevity, and capacity to develop a beautiful patina over time. This is part of our commitment to sustainability and timeless design
How will the bag age over time — will it still be beautiful?
Absolutely. Like a fine piece of handcrafted jewelry or vintage furniture, a La Mona Crafted bag grows more beautiful with time. The materials develop a natural patina and subtle character marks: a sign of wear, yes — but of life, memories, and conscientious living.
Shipping, Orders & International Delivery
Do you ship internationally (e.g., to the U.S. or Europe)?
Yes. We ship worldwide. Our goal is to bring La Mona Crafted bags to women who value sustainable, artisanal fashion — no matter where they are.
How long does shipping take and what about customs / import taxes?
Shipping times depend on the destination. For international orders, we strive to dispatch in 10 days, and delivery times vary by courier and customs handling. Please note that import duties and taxes (if any) are the responsibility of the customer.
Can I track my order?
Absolutely. Once your order has shipped, we’ll send you a tracking number so you can follow its journey until it reaches your arms.
What if my package is lost or delayed?
Contact us as soon as you notice an issue. We’ll work with the shipping provider to locate your parcel. If it’s confirmed lost, we’ll offer a replacement or full refund — because we believe you deserve to enjoy your bag without unnecessary stress.
Care, Repair & Longevity
How do I care for my La Mona Crafted bag?
Our bags are built to last, but they appreciate a little care: avoid overloading with heavy items, keep away from harsh chemicals and direct prolonged moisture. Wipe gently with a soft cloth and store in a cool, dry place. Over time, the natural patina will emerge — a beautiful sign of your bag’s journey with you.
What if my bag needs repair — do you offer after-sale support or guidance?
Yes. We believe in timeless design and longevity. If your bag ever needs repair — due to wear or unexpected damage — please contact us. We’ll advise on the best way to repair responsibly or, if possible, we’ll guide you on how we can help. We want your bag to stay with you for years.
The Virtuous Circle & Community Participation
How can I become part of the Virtuous Circle?
There are many ways. Simply by buying a bag, you join the circle — supporting artisans and sustainable fashion. But if you want to get more involved: you can share your story, refer friends, join our newsletter / community events, or even collaborate with us on future collections or initiatives. We welcome women who want to uplift others, embrace conscious style, and build connection through craft.
Will there be community perks if I join — like early access, discount, or involvement in decision-making?
Yes. As part of the Virtuous Circle, early members may receive occasional perks: early access to new collections, invites to community-only events or sales, and opportunities to share feedback that helps shape future designs. We want La Mona Crafted to feel inclusive, empowering, and participative.
Why does La Mona Crafted focus on community and women involvement?
Because we believe strength, creativity and authenticity thrive when women support each other. By centering our brand on female artisans and customers, we create opportunities, celebrate craftswomanship, and promote a movement toward ethical — and beautiful — fashion.
Product Lines & Poppy Heritage
What are the main La Mona Crafted product lines?
Our collections are all united by the same philosophy — handmade with soul — but each line has its own personality:
- Poppy Classic – Our foundational line: timeless silhouettes you can wear every day. Think of it as the purest expression of La Mona Crafted: elegant, versatile, and made to last.
- Poppy Atelier – Small-run, creative editions where we experiment with color, texture and bolder expressions of craft. Perfect for women who love collecting pieces with a strong artistic character.
- Poppy Heritage – Our most exclusive line: co-created with you, made to order, and designed to become an emotional heirloom that can be passed from one generation to the next.
What makes Poppy Heritage different from Classic and Atelier?
While Poppy Classic and Poppy Atelier are designed by our team and handcrafted by our artisans in curated editions, Poppy Heritage begins with you. It is a made-to-order piece where you collaborate with La Mona to choose colors and details, transforming your bag into a personal masterpiece.
Each Heritage piece is:
- Co-created with your input
- Made slowly and intentionally by one of our artisans
- One-of-a-kind, never replicated in the exact same way
- Named and recorded as part of a limited, traceable edition
In short: Classic and Atelier are purchased, Heritage is created with you.
Are Poppy Heritage pieces really one-of-a-kind?
Yes. Each Poppy Heritage is conceived as a unique creation: your combination of colors and details will not be duplicated as a standard model. Small variations in the handmade process are not flaws — they’re the signature of the artisan and a reflection of the moment in which your piece was made. Your bag is meant to feel unrepeatable, just like your story.
Why does a Poppy Heritage piece take 3–4 weeks to be ready?
Because time is part of the luxury. A Heritage piece is not taken from stock — it is created especially for you. From confirming your design choices, to assigning the artisan, to the slow, precise handwork required, the full process usually takes 3–4 weeks.
We see this waiting period as a beautiful part of the experience: anticipation grows as your bag comes to life stitch by stitch, until the day you finally hold it in your hands.
Can I personalize my Poppy Heritage bag?
Yes, that is the heart of Poppy Heritage. Within our design framework, you can:
- Choose your preferred color combinations
- Select from curated options in size or strap style (where available)
- Add personal touches like your name or initials as part of the piece’s identity (e.g. Poppy Heritage [Your Name])
This way, your bag becomes an extension of who you are — a signature piece, not just an accessory.
How do I order a Poppy Heritage piece?
The process is intentionally personal and guided:
- Inquiry – You contact us through our Heritage form or email to express your interest.
- Design conversation – We guide you through color and style options to define your Poppy Heritage.
- Confirmation & payment – Once your design is confirmed, we begin the creation process.
- Creation (3–4 weeks) – Your piece is handcrafted by one artisan, step by step.
- Shipping & unboxing – Your Poppy Heritage arrives with story details, care instructions, and all the emotion of something that was made especially for you.
Why is Poppy Heritage priced higher than other lines?
Poppy Heritage reflects not only the materials and hours of handwork, but also:
- The co-creation process and personalized design
- The time investment of dedicating one artisan to one specific piece
- The emotional and heirloom value of a bag designed to be treasured and possibly inherited
It is less a “purchase” and more an emotional investment: a symbol of your journey, your taste, and your values — crafted to stay in your life for many years.
Is Poppy Heritage also part of the Virtuous Circle?
Absolutely. Poppy Heritage is one of the purest expressions of our Virtuous Circle:
- A woman with talent and resilience creates your bag
- You choose to carry her work with pride
- Together, you sustain a network of women who believe in craft, creativity, and soul
By commissioning a Heritage piece, you’re not just owning something rare — you’re helping keep this circle alive and thriving
