August 2022 Glam Bag
A monthly theme like hotel paradise wouldn’t be complete without a nod to summer vacations and stunning hotels. “The color and the print of the bags are inspired by the iconic modern interior design of The Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles,” says Wong. Think pink everything, tropical gardens, and of course the signature banana-leaf and pink wallpaper. “We wanted the glamorous and refreshing bags to activate your summer vacation mode.”
The tropical vibes don’t end there. The beautiful print (made of a lightweight, soft faux satin material) is paired with peach zipper tape and lining, plus the zipper pull is shiny gold and tropical leaf-shaped to match the pattern. “This Glam Bag is so light, and I can easily pack my makeup in there,” says Wong. “I will be carrying this anywhere I go when I’m traveling this summer.”
August 2022 Glam Bag Plus
Are you a Glam Bag Plus Ipster? The Hotel Paradise theme is just as fab for you. The same tropical pink and green banana leaf print and lightweight faux satin material will also be featured on your Glam Bag Plus. Plus, the pop of peachy orange drawstring cord and woven IPSY logo keeps the vacay vibes coming.
“This Glam Bag Plus is full of summer vacation memories,” says Wong. “I can pack my travel essentials in this bag easily. I’m going to put my phone, sunscreen, and my book in this Glam Bag Plus pouch, hang out by the pool, and enjoy the book and my summer favorite drink!”
