We all have baggage, may as well make it aesthetically pleasing, right?
That was our feeling when we kept seeing Béis luggage all over our social media, from TikTok to viral moments involving our favorite (or least favorite?) Bravo stars as of late. Regardless, anyone who is anyone seems to have these bags, and so we wanted to get in on the action.
Switching to first-person, ahead of my trip to Aruba and Curaçao, I wanted to put both the hard-sided suitcase and the viral weekender bag to the ultimate test — traveling with me, an over-packer, and then surviving the JFK airport as well as two international airports and an international puddle-jumper plane before the bags could finally return home.
That’s a total of four trips to the airport, eight luggage shoots, two hotel bellhops and many forms of car and van transit for the bags to get roughed up, scratched up… or survive without a ding?
To find out how my pretty pink luggage and bag fared, plus more information about the Béis brand including price, colors, capacity and more, read through the comprehensive review below, using the links to jump to any section.
What is Beis and why is it so popular?

If luggage had a hype brand, this would be it.
Béis, at it’s core, is a luggage brand for the aesthetic traveler, who also values function as much as fashion. It was founded by actress, model and mom, Shay Mitchell, who also happens to be an avid traveler. She is also the CEO of the brand, giving the company the most honest celebrity endorsement.
Aside from the star-factor, the bags themselves gained popularity for their multi-purpose design and matching colors, including the very millennial pink set reviewed below.
“You don’t need to buy a plane ticket to find our designs useful—we made sure every detail delivered on your day-to-day goals,” reads the site. “For instance, our duffle doubles as a gym bag and our backpack goes from carry-on to carrying all your tech. Our hard-side luggage sets are made for traveling with every feature carefully designed to keep you moving effortlessly while staying fashion-forward.”
Lastly, for those that follow internet drama and Bravo reality shows, the Béis bags made an appearance in the middle of the #scandoval “Vanderpump Rules” drama, when Raquel Leviss was seen leaving Tom Sandoval’s house with a beige weekender bag. Then, the brand not only used this for social media fire, but gifted Ariana Madix an entire set of the luggage, that she then took to the airport as seen in this Page Six exclusive.
All in all, Béis is the luggage brand for both the “it” girl and the high-speed traveler and go-getter, combining all the amazing features listed below and a touch of fashion, too.
How much does Beis luggage cost?
Beis
What is the price for seamless packing and travel? Not priceless, but we’re willing to spend a pretty penny on pretty luggage.
Starting with the actual hard-sided luggage, the smallest carry-on bag goes for $218, and includes 360-degree wheels, a weight indicator for packing, cushioned handle and TSA-friendly locks. These features can also be found on the larger check-in roller collection, that includes a 26-inch roller ($308) and a 29-inch roller ($328) in a rainbow of colors and neutrals.
The viral weekender bag retails for $108, and comes in matching colors to the suitcases above. You can also check out the Mini weekender for $98.
Béis sizes and specs
Beis
Looking at their luggage specifically, Béis carries one, 21-inch carry-on and two sizes in their hard-shell luggage, a 26-inch and a 29-inch roller bag. They also carry one black soft-sided carry-on and one black soft-sided check-in bag, with a 21-inch and 29-inch size, respectively.
Each suitcase also comes with unique features that make travel a breeze, one in particular for over-packers. On the side of the bag is a weight indicator, that automatically lights up red if your bag is over 50 pounds. This alone is a stand-out feature, but when combined with the TSA-lock, cushioned handle and the outside luggage clip to attach more luggage or totes, this suitcase can really do it all.
The weekender collection also comes in two sizes, with the larger having a 49-liter capacity and the Mini at a 33-liter size. They both have a separate bottom zipper compartment that can store shoes or toiletries, while the interior of the bag comes with a padded laptop sleeve, a zipper pocket, two open pockets and a key leash clip.
Our review: did our luggage hold up after vacation?
There’s something about having a matching set of luggage… I also loved how the bag clipped right to the front of the suitcase and could also slide over the handle for another way to carry. Sophie Cannon
I have never felt fancier parading through an airport in my life.
This is a lofty statement, especially as someone who travels frequently and with all sorts of luggage. However, on my way to JFK even the cab driver noticed my bags — “Nice color, I like this.”
Aside from aesthetics, the true test of a suitcase is two fold: Does it pack well and does it hold up through the rough conditions of TSA, baggage claim and traveling. I put both to the ultimate test, flying on not one or two mainstream flights via JetBlue but also on a smaller budget airline with minimal overhead space and only one-by-two person seating.

Packing: As with any trip, packing is the first hurdle. When I opened the suitcase, I was pleasantly surprised to see that not only did I buy a sturdy, hard-sized bag, but it also came with two internal zipper pockets for organization, a flat flap with a zipper for more delicate dresses or even art work on the way home and my favorite part, two bags for dirty clothes labeled “dirt bag” and “not so Béisic.”
Another huge win for me was the weight-sensor, built right in to the handle of the bag. When you hit 50lbs, the sensor lights up red, telling you to pack a bit less and avoid a sticky situation when you get to TSA. I tested this with the old-fashioned step-on-a-scale-and-step-off trick, which I also hate in general — I don’t want to weigh myself, thank you — and it was accurate, as my massive bag clocked in at under 50lbs and didn’t light up, but when I added an extra outfit it lit up with the warning and sure enough, the scale showed 51lbs.
The TSA lock (left) made me feel safe lugging my luggage around the country, and the packing situation on the inside kept my art safe and flat and my breakables tucked away inside the hard-shell bag. Sophie Cannon
Baggage Claim and TSA: This part was the easiest, as I already knew my bag would be under the 50 pound limit. Sure enough, at the JetBlue gate, my bag was under the limit by a few pounds, and I was given my luggage tag receipt and sent on my way with my weekender in hand.
On the larger planes to and from JFK, I was able to easily slide the bag under the seat in front of me and put it in the overhead bin. I was a bit scared for the skinny plane from Aruba to Curaçao, as even the flight attendant at the gate warned me that if my weekender didn’t fit in the overhead, I would have to gate check it. However, with full faith in my Béis bag, I was indeed able to turn the bag on it’s side and successfully close the overhead bin. Be sure to check your airline’s dimensions, though, as others may find themselves on even smaller planes.
TSA with my weekender was also a breeze, as I easily found my laptop in the padded pocket and removed my baggy of liquids from the main inside compartment. The bag did just barely fit in the provided bins at the airport, but the bag does have little feet on the bottom and can ride on the conveyor belt alone, pending your airport’s rules.

Pros: Stunning colors — I received so many compliments at the airport and hotel!
Easy to spot at baggage claim
The suitcase has many useful compartments to pack things both flat and securely tucked away.
You can separate damp items or liquids in the clear zipper pocket
You can separate dirty laundry with the included drawstring bags
TSA locks on the zippers
A weight-checking light built in to the handle of the suitcase to indicate if your bag is over the TSA 50-pound standard for most airlines
The weekender has a separate, sturdy bottom compartment for shoes or dirty items
Padded laptop compartment — super easy for TSA and security checks
Shoulder and handle straps
Outside zipper pocket and a luggage sleeve that can also be zipped closed to serve as another pocket when not in use
Prices are less than most competitors Cons: Light colors like my pink bags get scuffed up when checked. You can try to buff these out with a Magic Eraser or a scrub brush.
Be a bit more careful with the weekender shoulder strap, as mine did break due to a manufacturing error. The brand did send a replacement.
The suitcase itself is a bit heavy, so you may need to pack less to stay under 50 lbs.
