Béis Luggage: The Carry-On Roller and Everything That Rides on It

Béis began with a sketch on a napkin. Shay Mitchell has said the first design, the Weekender, was drawn on a cocktail napkin, and she launched the brand in 2018. I like that origin because you can still feel it in the line: these are bags designed by someone who was already travelling a lot and got tired of luggage that looked like an afterthought. Samsonite Group completed its acquisition of Béis on 1 October 2026, with the brand staying standalone and Mitchell continuing to guide its creative direction.

 

Most people come to Béis luggage through the carry-on roller, so that is where this edit starts. The first grid is four carry-ons: the classic Carry-On in beige, the Small Carry-On in black, the Hybrid Carry-On in black, which is the taller, roomier version, and the Béis x KidSuper Hybrid, the one roller here with a print, a playful collaboration that stands out at the gate.

 

A practical test before you choose: look up the carry-on size rules of the airline you fly most and compare them with the measurements on the product page. Rules differ by airline and by route, and smaller planes are stricter. What I would skip is a pale carry-on if you take a lot of connecting flights. Beige looks lovely, but black hides scuffs from overhead bins far better.

The second grid is for longer trips, when a carry-on is not enough. Béis luggage comes in two check-in sizes, the Medium and the Large, both here in beige so a set looks like it belongs with the beige carry-on. Next to them is the Béis x KidSuper Hybrid Check-In, the printed partner to the carry-on above, and the Air Backpack for the flight itself.

 

The way I think about it is simple. A Medium is the one for a week away, or for a long weekend if you pack shoes and a coat. A Large is for two weeks, for winter trips, or for anyone who likes to bring home more than they took. If you only buy one check-in, I would go Medium, because it is easier to lift and less likely to go over an airline's weight limit when it is full.

 

A pairing tip: match the colour of your check-in to your carry-on, or choose one shade deeper, so you can spot both on the carousel at a glance. What I would skip is buying the Large for a trip that only needs the Medium. A big case tempts you to fill it, and you will feel every extra kilo on the stairs.

The last grid goes back to where Béis started. Plenty of people type beis weekender bag into a search bar before anything else, and I understand why. The Béis weekender bag is the one I would buy first: it was the first design Shay Mitchell sketched, and it is still the bag I think of when I picture the brand. Here it comes in maple and black, next to the Mini Weekender in Atlas Pink for a lighter overnight bag and the Crescent Weekender in black, a different shape with a curved top. Then come the Ultimate Travel Duffle in maple and olive, the biggest soft bags in this edit, and the Travel Backpack in beige and olive, for anyone who likes both hands free.

 

These are the pieces of Béis luggage that ride on top of the roller or sit under the seat in front of you. On a short trip a weekender bag can be the only bag, and on a long one it holds everything you want close during the flight: a jumper, a water bottle, a book, chargers and a change of clothes in case a checked bag goes missing. The KidSuper Pro Travel Backpack, the Ultimate Diaper Backpack, the Classic Backpack and the Expandable Messenger Tote round out the grid for days when you need more pockets.

 

A practical test: pack it once at home with what you actually carry on a plane, then walk around with it on your shoulder for ten minutes. If it already feels heavy, choose a backpack. What I would skip is the full-size Weekender as a personal item on a no-frills airline. It is generous, and some carriers measure the under-seat bag strictly, so the Mini or a backpack is safer.

If I were building a first set of Béis luggage, I would start with the carry-on roller in black and a Béis weekender bag in the same colour. That pair covers most trips under a week, and it is the combination the brand itself grew from: the Weekender first, the roller after. A Medium check-in is the third piece I would add, only once I knew I needed it. A Travel Backpack is the fourth, for trips where I want both hands free for coffee and a boarding pass.

 

Care is mostly about habits. Wipe the shell with a damp cloth after a trip, empty the bag fully so nothing leaks inside, store the rollers upright with the handle down, and keep soft bags stuffed with tissue so they hold their shape between trips.

 

What I find interesting about Béis is how far a napkin sketch can travel. Shay Mitchell drew one bag, launched in 2018, and eight years later Samsonite Group has bought the brand and kept it as its own label. That is a quick journey for a luggage line, and the reason, I think, is that it was designed by a traveller first. If you want to keep browsing, I also put together Bags And Luggage and Bags Worth the Money.
