Claims15
A method of storing beauty aids in a substantially rectangular bag having a front wall, a rear wall, a pair of sliders configured to open and close a resealable closure having sections corresponding to each of the three sides of the bag where each of the pair of sliders are configured to close the rectangular bag when moved toward the other of the pair of sliders, where the bag is made of a flexible, stretchable material configured to tightly enclose the beauty aids as the bag becomes full, where a bottom side of the bag is a closed side without a portion of the resealable closure, a top side is the side opposite the bottom side, and a first lateral side and a second lateral side disposed between the top side and the bottom side, the method comprising:
- moving one or both of the pair of sliders apart to open the top side of the bag to allow the user to search for a beauty aid in the bag;
- moving the pair of sliders toward each other to close the bag;
- moving the pair of sliders to one of the lateral sides of the rectangular bag while maintaining the bag substantially closed by keeping the pair of sliders in close proximity to one another;
- re-orienting the bag by rotating the bag about 90 degrees such that the pair of sliders are facing upwards;
- and
- separating the pair of sliders to open the bag to search for a beauty aid that had been placed in the bag.
A method of converting an enclosure from a closed storage configuration into a substantially planar protective surface while maintaining containment of beauty aids within a defined perimeter boundary of the enclosure, the method comprising:
- positioning the enclosure on a support surface while a zipper assembly is in a closed configuration, such that the enclosure defines a volumetric storage compartment;
- actuating the zipper assembly to an open position, thereby separating opposing perimeter edges of the enclosure;
- allowing the enclosure body to expand and unfold outwardly into a substantially planar configuration;
- and
- maintaining the perimeter boundary defined by the enclosure such that beauty aids remain supported exclusively on an interior surface of the enclosure and are prevented from contacting the underlying external support surface.
A method of accessing items contained within a soft-sided enclosure without removing the items from the enclosure and without substantially disturbing the relative positioning of the items therein, the method comprising:
- fully closing a zipper assembly such that the enclosure forms a substantially sealed and tensioned compartment around contained beauty aids;
- laterally reorienting the enclosure by rotating the enclosure approximately 90 degrees onto either a left side or a right side axis;
- and
- opening the zipper assembly from the reoriented position, thereby exposing a different lateral side of an internal compartment.
A method of using a bag for containing beauty aids, the method comprising:
- providing a bag having a front wall, a rear wall, a bottom attached to the front wall and rear wall to create a sealed bottom of the bag, an aperture extending across a top of the bag and along lateral sides of the front and rear walls between the top and bottom, and a closure system for forming a tight seal;
- storing beauty aids within an interior of the bag;
- opening the closure system such that the interior of the bag is flattened and beauty aids are accessible without spilling out of a perimeter of the bag;
- and
- resealing the aperture to store the beauty aids inside the bag.
