February’s Glam Bag Is a Love Note: Signed, Sealed, and So You

Behind the February 2026 Glam Bag Design

“Romantic. Rosy. Luxurious.” That’s how IPSY designer Joanne Wong describes February’s Glam Bag, and honestly, it tracks. “This bag was meant to feel like a little love note to yourself,” says Wong. “Soft, sweet, and pampering. Every detail was chosen to spark a treat-yourself moment.”

The first thing you’ll notice is the texture. The faux-croc embossing brings a high-end-level edge, while the soft pink shade keeps everything grounded in warmth and tenderness. “Croc has this high-fashion energy,” Wong explains, “and translating it into pink creates such a beautiful contrast—bold texture meets gentle color.”

And that color? It’s not just pretty, it’s intentional. “Soft pink is the color of tenderness,” she says. “It’s a quiet reminder to be gentle with yourself. Like a hug in bag form.”

Then there’s the zipper charm, aka the pièce de résistance. A gold heart that feels more like jewelry than hardware. It’s the kind of detail that makes you pause mid-zip just to admire it. “I wanted it to feel like a keepsake,” Wong adds. “The heart symbolizes self-love, and the gold tone adds that elevated, special touch.”

Textures played a huge role in bringing the design to life. From testing different embossing patterns to fine-tuning the exact pink hue, the goal was always the same: quiet luxury. “We wanted it to feel rich, but still tender,” Wong explains. “The final finish has this subtle gloss that catches the light beautifully.”

And yes (if you’re wondering), this bag definitely has a love language. “Acts of Service,” says Wong without hesitation. “It’s designed to take care of you. It organizes your beauty essentials, travels well, and elevates your everyday routine. It exists to support your self-care rituals.”

Date night mini clutch? Absolutely. Vanity staple that makes your makeup lineup look instantly more put-together? Yes. A little reminder on your dresser that loving yourself isn’t optional? Also yes.

“My favorite part was adding the heart charm,” Wong says. “It felt like sending every Ipster a mini note that says, ‘Love starts here.’” And honestly? That’s the whole vibe of February. Soft, intentional, and just indulgent enough to feel like a gift—because it is.
