Summer heat? We’ll take it—with a side of shimmer, saturated color, and a whole lot of glam. This month’s Glam Bag is your ultimate plus one for festival nights, rooftop hangs, and every glowing moment in between. Designed by IPSY’s Senior Designer Joanne Wong, July’s Glam Bag design is a dreamy collision of futuristic flair and summer energy, and it’s unlike anything we’ve done before. We caught up with Wong to get the scoop on this summer’s boldest bag.
Still swooning over last month’s look? Same! Catch up on June’s Glam Bag Reveal here.
Joanne Wong is the Senior Designer for Fashion and Accessories at IPSY. She has been designing fashion handbags, accessories, and beauty packaging for more than 10 years for brands like Sephora, Nordstrom, Adventures by Disney, and more.
When asked to describe July’s design in three words, Wong didn’t hesitate: Futuristic. Glowing. Energetic. “This month’s bag was all about creating something that felt unexpected for summer,” she says. “Not just hot pinks and metallics—we wanted something trend-forward and fresh.”
Inspired by the Spring/Summer 2025 trend forecasts (think tie-dye leather, chromatic pigments, and electric color), Wong chose a gradient airbrush-style print in bold hues like hyper blush, bonbon, and galactic blue. The faux leather material brings the swirling colors to life, while pink iridescent piping and a sleek silver zipper add a subtle chrome edge.
The hardest part? Getting the print just right. “I experimented a lot to land on something that nodded to tie-dye and airbrush but still felt modern, less boho, more bold,” says Wong. “It took time, but I love how it turned out.”
Open the bag and you’ll find a surprise pop of bouncy mint lining—a detail we’re officially obsessed with.
It’s bold, it’s bright, it’s ready for wherever summer takes you. “I see this bag as the perfect carry for summer concerts, nights out, even just running around during golden hour,” says Wong. “It fits your phone, keys, and your go-to summer lipstick. What else do you need?”
Whether you’re pairing it with a dewy chromatic makeup look or using it as your own mini style statement, July’s Glam Bag delivers summer energy in full force.
