Previously known for her role on Pretty Little Liars , Shay Mitchell is now the founder of one of the most trusted luggage brands on the market: Béis. Debuting minimalist-chic luggage to rival the likes of Away, Béis luggage is moderately priced, stylish, and uber-functional, so we had to get our hands on one of pretty much everything.

After months of testing 17 pieces of Béis luggage and other accessories in both the Travel + Leisure lab and our real-world travels, we can confidently recommend these nine items for anyone looking to invest in Béis travel products. While we’re big fans of the brand's suitcases, we also love the weekender and duffel bags, cosmetic cases, and packing cubes for staying extra organized on the go.

Best Carry-on

Béis the carry-on roller.

Capacity 5 /5
Organization 5 /5
Maneuverability 5 /5
Durability 2.5 /5

It’s easy to pack thanks to all of the organizational features.

The handle can get stuck if the bag is dented a certain way.

Both minimalist and maximalist packers alike will appreciate the simple and spacious design of the Béis Carry-on Roller. Whether packing for a weekend or week-long trip, the clamshell suitcase has a removable compression system with a mesh pocket on one side, while the other features two zippered pockets on the opening flap for storing undergarments or smaller pieces of clothing. The various pockets and separate compartments makes it intuitive and hassle-free to pack bulky and small items, and the suitcase isn’t so big that it’ll get too heavy to wheel or pick up. After traveling with this bag over a six-month period, we love that it's incredibly durable. The wheels roll well on concrete, grass, and gravel and have held up well throughout our many travels. Other thoughtful features we love include the padded handle, expandable zippers, weight limit indicator, and retractable bag strap for attaching another suitcase or smaller bag. We recommend avoiding checking in this carry-on when possible since it scuffed and dented fairly easily during testing.

Best Checked

Béis check-in roller.

Durability 4.8 /5

The medium size helps with portability, but it also has expandable zippers if more space is needed.

After six months of use, the lighter color does show some significant scuffing.

We’re big fans of the just-right size of the Béis 26-inch checked roller bag. It’s big enough to fit up to two weeks’ worth of clothing, but the medium size is better for maneuvering it on the go or storing it at home than even larger sizes. Throughout six months of testing, we loved the smooth wheels that make navigating through airports easy and seamless. The organizational features are similar to the brand’s carry-on suitcase, with a detachable compression flap and various zippered pockets for packing smaller items. If you need extra room for longer trips, the suitcase has expandable zippers that add an extra two inches of space. Worried about the weight of the suitcase? There is a helpful weight limit indicator on the side of the suitcase that will turn red when the bag is over 50 pounds so you’ll never run the risk of overweight baggage fees. During lab testing, the polycarbonate material scuffed and dented with rough handling, so if you want to avoid noticeable scratches, consider opting for one of the darker colors offered.

The Details: 28.3 x 17.7 x 11 inches | 10.2 pounds | Polycarbonate

Best Weekender

Béis the weekender.

Design 5 /5
Portability 4.5 /5

It offers an impressive capacity without compromising portability.

It's difficult to fit under plane seats, so you'll have to place it in the overhead bin.

The Béis Weekender bag is one of the brand's best-selling items and we understand why after testing. It wowed us with a spacious interior that could fit more than enough for a weekend away, especially with the separate compartment on the bottom of the bag. The detachable compartment is perfect for bulky items like shoes and jackets, or you can remove it entirely to make the bag more compact. After using this for six months, its durability has not changed and we're calling this our "Mary Poppins bag" because it fits so many items.

Business travelers will appreciate that the bag comes with a vegan leather laptop case and designated laptop pocket to safely store technology while traveling. Similar to the Sport Duffel, this Béis bag comes with a removable strap so you can carry it as a tote or duffel bag for a convertible design. We also love that the weekender has a structured build to stand up on its own while packing it and there are metal feet at the bottom to protect the bag from the floor (although we did notice the metal feet scratched a bit in testing).

The Details: 19 x 15.7 x 9.8 inches | Poly canvas, vegan leather | 15-inch laptop pocket

Best Duffel

Béis the commuter duffle.

Capacity 4 /5
Portability 5 /5
Durability 5 /5

You'll reach peak organization with the various pockets and compartments featured in this bag.

It becomes heavy quickly since the bag itself weighs over three pounds.

This high-quality duffel is durable, comfortable to carry, and features more pockets than you'll know what to do with. It was made with so much obvious attention to detail that's perfect for any traveler from weekend adventurers to business travelers . The duffel is a lot more spacious than it first appears as it easily fits our four-day packing list thanks to the many compartments (six on the inside, and four on the outside of the bag). Throughout our tests, we noticed that every pocket is multi-functional and purposeful — the side of the bag even features a pocket with a zippered bottom that can be opened to double as a luggage sleeve. The duffel is also comfortable to carry and all of the zippers glide easily making this one of our absolute favorite personal items, weekender bags, overnight bag, and more.

The Details: Nylon and polyester | 21.5 x 9 x 12 inches | 3.15 pounds

Best Gym Bag

Béis the sport duffle.

It has a modular design so you can carry it as a tote, duffel, or backpack.

We think the straps could be more size-inclusive.

Versatility in a piece of luggage is super important, so we love that the sport duffel has a convertible design to carry it in multiple ways. It has handles to carry it as a tote, and it comes with a removable crossbody strap to toss it over the shoulder like a traditional duffel. We love the discrete backpack straps that are tucked away in a pocket on the bottom of the duffel to be fully hidden when not in use. No matter which way we carried the duffel, it was comfortable and convenient with the weight distributed across all the straps. The only downside we ran into is the crossbody strap doesn’t adjust to a long length to accommodate all body types. Still, after six months of using this bag multiple times a week, we found this to be one of the most convenient, innovative, and intuitive bags we tested — and it still looks brand new. While the bag appears to be small, it can fit enough clothes for a weekend getaway and it has impressive organizational features for packing various items. It also comes with a drawstring bag for dirty clothes, which is a thoughtful feature for travelers and gym-goers alike.

The Details: 17 x 10 x 8.5 inches | Nylon, recycled polyester | Trolley sleeve

Best Cosmetics Case

Béis the cosmetic case.

Quality 5 /5

It has a wipeable interior and a handy travel mirror for doing makeup on the go.

A few more organizational features would be helpful for bottles or other fragile makeup.

A reliable makeup case is a must-have for traveling, especially since beauty products can be costly and difficult to replace while traveling. The brand’s cosmetic case earned a perfect score during testing thanks to its sleek and structured design that safeguards toiletries whether packed in a carry-on or checked bag. It has room to fit all of the makeup essentials, including foundation bottles, eyeshadow palettes, mascara, and toiletries like mini shampoo and toothpaste. Arguably, the best part of this case is that it comes with a removable standing travel mirror so you can turn any small space into a vanity.

We love the removable brush holder with straps and a clear plastic window to hold down makeup brushes and protect the bristles from bending. While no makeup got damaged during testing, we think there could be a few more straps or dividers in the spacious main compartment to tie down bottles or palettes more securely. However, if there is some spillage while traveling, the interior is lined with a fully wipeable fabric for hassle-free clean-up.

The Details: 9.5 x 4 x 7 inches | PU leather, nylon, PVC, poly | Zipper closure

Best Hanging Cosmetics Bag

Béis hanging cosmetic case.

Value 3.5 /5

The structured materials protect makeup and cosmetics from getting damaged in transit.

It’s a little too bulky to pack in smaller luggage.

Counter space can be hard to come by when you’re traveling, so a travel hanging organizer can really come in handy. This one from Béis has a structured case design that unzips and hangs via a hook with three compartments for storing makeup brushes, foundation bottles, eyeshadow palettes, and more. The stiff exterior material protects the makeup, and we didn’t notice any damage when we rigorously shook, tossed, and threw the case across the room. Our only gripe with the makeup case is that it’s very large so it will take up a lot of space in a small carry-on or weekender bag. However, the case comes with a clear zippered pouch that you can remove from the middle compartment to use as a mini cosmetic pouch for shorter trips.

The Details: 9.75 x 7.25 x 6.5 inches | Nylon, vegan leather

Best Packing Cubes

Béis the packing cubes.

Design 4 /5
Quality 4 /5

It’s easy to see what is packed inside each cube since the opening flaps are made with mesh and have label holders.

The cubes are better for organization than saving space.

This packing cube set is the ultimate solution to staying organized while traveling since it comes with three cubes, two drawstring bags, and one zippered pouch. The small, medium, and large packing cubes make it a breeze to pack various pieces of clothing like jackets, pants, tops, and undergarments, and the range of cube sizes is helpful for mixing and matching depending on the suitcase size you’re using. Plus, the packing cubes have mesh opening flaps and label holders so you can seamlessly access the item you’re looking for without making a mess. And once your clothes are no longer clean, the zippered pouch makes an excellent dirty laundry hamper. To further separate clean items from dirty ones, you can also use the two drawstring pouches to keep shoes separated. If you’re looking to save space in a suitcase, you may want to opt for compression packing cubes , but if organization is a priority, you can’t beat the brand’s set of six packing cubes and pouches.

The Details: 6 bags included | 12 x 9 x 4 inches (small), 15 x 11 x 4 inches (medium), 17.5 x 12.5 x 4 inches (large) | PVC, polyester

Best Backpack

Béis the expandable backpack.

BÃ©is Travel

The bag has expandable zippers that add extra space to use the backpack for weekend or overnight trips.

We wish the zipper opened up all the way for easier packing.

This backpack is a game-changer for avoiding extra baggage fees if you buy too many souvenirs while traveling. With the ability to add an extra two inches in depth, the expandable gusset provides enough space to pack enough clothes for an overnight trip or short weekend getaway. However, if you’re looking to use the backpack as a personal item for flying, the backpack offers pockets for every carry-on essential you could ever need. It has a designated padded laptop pocket to store both 13- and 15-inch laptops that can be conveniently accessed from the separate pocket in the back. After carrying the backpack in an airport for several hours, we didn’t notice any pain or discomfort thanks to the adjustable padded straps and back panel that balance the weight for all-day comfort. And after six months of regular use, the bag still looks good as new.

The Details: 13 x 15 x 5-7 inches | Recycled polyester | 15-inch laptop pocket

Other Béis Travel Products We Liked

We’ve tried nearly everything from Béis, but not everything could make our list of winners due to slight issues revealed in testing.

Béis The Jewelry Case : The structured design is super protective, but the button closure isn’t very secure, so it came undone and the jewelry fell out when we dropped it on the floor.

Béis The Convertible Weekender : We’re big fans of the separate bottom compartment that you can completely remove, but tricky zippers make it hard to get it back onto the bag. We prefer the regular Weekender above.

Béis The Backpack : This backpack lacked padding for protection and comfort, but we like the simplicity of the design and useful pockets for laptops, chargers, and wallets.

Our T+L editors have tested hundreds of pieces of luggage and to try every item efficiently, we divide up the tests by category to evaluate in our labs and while traveling out in the world. We tested a total of 17 Béis travel products, including suitcases, backpacks, weekenders, and accessories like jewelry cases, packing cubes, and cosmetic bags.

To test suitcases, we first start in our lab utilizing our specially-designed airplane set complete with row of passenger seats and overhead storage bins to analyze the capacity, design, and maneuverability. We test the durability by taking a baseball bat to each bag and throwing it off a counter. Similarly for backpacks and weekenders, we pack the bags full of travel essentials to get a feel for the capacity, design, and portability. For bags that aren’t suitcases, we pay close attention to comfort and portability since those are two very important factors in buying a travel bag that gets schlepped around.

For accessories like jewelry cases, cosmetic bags, and packing cubes, we pack them with relevant travel items and test durability by dropping, tossing, and throwing the items (but to the dismay of our editors, no baseball bats are involved). All of the products we test in the lab are sent out for up to six months of further testing in real-world conditions.

Tips for Buying Béis Travel Products

Know how much space you need.

While it depends on the product, Béis has luggage and accessories in all types of sizes to fit the needs of all travelers. When it comes to luggage, the carry-ons and checked bags have expandable zippers so you can add two inches of space when desired. The weekender bag is massive, so if you’re looking for something more compact, opt for the mini or convertible weekend, or the duffel bags. The accessories are pretty straightforward with sizing since there is only one of each, except for the hanging cosmetic case, which is a bit bigger than the regular cosmetic bag, and the cosmetic bag set, which are the smallest sizes offered for storage pouches.

Evaluate organizational features

Throwing everything in one large bag or suitcase tends to result in, well, an organizational disaster once you get to your hotel room and need to find something. Instead look for organizational features that’ll best suit your needs. Béis luggage pieces tend to do double duty: a carry-on duffel or weekender has compartments suitable to work as a gym bag, and the backpack can also work as a catch-all for heading into the office thanks to its tech-specific compartments. Several checked and carry-on suitcases have built-in pockets and pouches, so decide which you’ll actually use and seek these out in your desired bags.

Buy for the intended use

Béis products are moderately priced for the luggage industry, however, it’s still important to invest in luggage that you know you’ll use. If you’re heading on a long international trip , you may want to consider purchasing a luggage set to save 15 percent when you get three suitcases. Business travelers or those traveling with laptops often may want to invest in a weekender or mini weekender bag that comes with a laptop pocket and a removable vegan leather laptop case for extra protection.

For the best selection of products, the Béis website is where you’ll find all the items the brand offers in every colorway. You can also shop Béis online at Nordstrom and on the Revolve website .

Béis offers a limited warranty on select luggage items, including the hardside carry-on, checked, and front pocket carry-on. The warranty covers cracks to the material and breakage of the wheels, handles, and zippers.

The Carry-On Roller

The Medium Check-In Roller

Let’s be honest, when traveling the carry-on is really your partner in crime, and so you need it to be easy to move around so you’re never held up. The cushioned handle guarantees you can stuff the expandable body as much as needed and it won’t hurt your hand while on-the-go. This piece will glide through the airports, streets and hallways so effortlessly that you may forget it's there.
