Beauty.com Introduces the Cushnie et Ochs Travel Bag

Beauty.com, Inc. called on the designer team behind the award-winning Cushnie et Ochs® label to create the latest Beauty.com® gift with purchase. Starting tomorrow and while supplies last, the Travel Bag is available as a gift with any $100 Beauty.com® purchase* via www.beauty.com/cushnieetochs. The designer Travel Bag is a blend of tough and minimalist chic with a faux-leather exterior with black-on-black zipper detailing. Inside, clear spill-proof lining and a card compartment make it a travel essential.

"The bag was inspired by the Fall 2012 collection that has just arrived in stores.  The collection was inspired by Pedro Almodovar's movie The Skin I Live In.  So it was very much about contouring the female body and revealing and concealing.  We used a lot of zipper details in the collection and decided to contour the cosmetic bag in the same way."—Designers Carly Cushnie and Michelle Ochs.
