 Behind the January 2024 Glam Bag Design

“We were inspired by 2024 spring/summer trend reports,” says Glam Bag designer Joanne Wong. “The cultural trend is referred to as Gentle Vitality. The bright pastel colors are cheery but soft and refreshing. It encourages us to be softer and slower in the new year. We also continue to see dewy and glowy skin and bright eyeshadows in the beauty trends, so we wanted to see some sparkly and shiny texture on the bag.”

That’s where January’s unique design comes in. Instead of our go-to faux leather fabric, Wong explored new options that combine both softness and shine. The round iridescent sequins complement the silver zipper, IPSY metal zipper pull, and soft pink lining. “I am in love with this gorgeous unique fabric,” adds Wong. “It’s full of the iridescent sequins that reflect light and colors, and it makes the Glam Bag very sparkly and shiny. What a very unique and fun bag to start the new year!”

Wong continues: “If you look closer at the bag, the fabric behind the sequins is the very soft velvet. The combination of the hard sequins and soft velvet fabric created a high-contract hand-feel on the bag. I was so happy to find this gorgeous new fabric for the first Glam Bag in 2024 to kick off the new year!”
