Inside the Gap × BÉIS Collaboration: Travel Staples Reimagined

A design-led milestone in practical style innovation has landed.

Meet the Collab

Gap × BÉIS have teamed up to create the ultimate travel lifestyle collection, and it's everything we didn't know we needed for life on the move. This isn't just another celebrity collaboration—it's a true creative partnership that brings together two powerhouse brands at the top of their respective games.

Shay Mitchell BÉIS Founder and Chief Creative Officer led the design direction alongside Gap's in-house team, pouring her intimate knowledge of the travel lifestyle into every detail. As someone who's constantly jet-setting while maintaining that effortless chic aesthetic, Shay understands what modern travelers actually need: pieces that work seamlessly, without compromising on style.

When Gap looks to travel, they look to BÉIS—a testament to our proven expertise in function-forward fashion and design for life on the go. Together, we've co-developed the most travel-ready collection either brand has released to date, marking a design-led milestone in practical style innovation.

We're not talking about slapping logos together—this is a unified capsule built for life in motion, combining comfort, utility, and style into every single piece.

Why Gap, Why BÉIS, Why Now?

Bringing together two iconic brands resulted in something magical: a first-of-its-kind travel-ready collection where the sum is truly greater than its parts. Gap brings iconic everyday styles steeped in American heritage and unmatched comfort. BÉIS brings forward-thinking, innovative, function-forward travel essentials. The result? Pure synergy.

"This collaboration just made sense," says Shay Mitchell. "GAP brings the comfort and ease I've always loved, and BÉIS brings the travel-smart design that makes life easier. It's a full-circle moment and honestly, a dream come true."

Gap's design team echoes this sentiment: "This collaboration is not just about suitcases and apparel, it's really about a travel lifestyle. It's a collection that is both fashion and function."

The creative process was deeply collaborative from concept to execution—both brands had hands in every detail. Shay's expertise in creating stylish travel bags and BÉIS luggage merged seamlessly with Gap's mastery of timeless silhouettes and wearable ease.

"This has been a dream come true for me," Shay reflects. "I grew up shopping at GAP, so getting to create something together that blends their everyday comfort with the travel function we build at BÉIS just felt right. It's everything I want to wear and carry when I'm traveling."

The Collection: Function Meets Fashion

Let's give some shine to the stars of this limited edition luggage collection—three pieces that redefine what travel gear can be.

The Roller: Heritage Meets Award-Winning Innovation

The best luggage for travel just got a serious upgrade. This isn't your average rolling suitcase—it features a raised, ridged twill texture on its hard shell exterior that captures the essence of classic denim in a completely new way. The medium blue colorway with its heritage-inspired texture creates a nostalgic yet modern aesthetic that turns heads at every terminal.

The Weekender: A travel Icon Redefined

The iconic BÉIS Weekender bag gets the Gap treatment with a cotton/poly blend material that mimics everything we love about denim—the highs, the lows, the timeless appeal—while being engineered specifically for travel and daily wear. The soft twill texture and classic medium blue tone make this piece feel both nostalgic and forward-thinking.

"One of the things I love most about this collection is how easy it is to mix and match," explains Shay. "You can create so many different looks without overpacking, which is key when you're traveling. And the bags were built to support that kind of flexibility."

The Travel Backpack: Street Style Meets Smart Design

The BÉIS backpack in this collection embodies everything this collaboration stands for. Crafted from the same heritage-inspired cotton/poly blend, it delivers on both form and function. The classic design language speaks to Gap's timeless aesthetic while maintaining all the organizational genius BÉIS is known for.

Each piece works together as part of a cohesive system so you can mix, match, and go. These aren't just individual products; they're components of a travel wardrobe designed to work in harmony.

The Full Travel Experience

More than a travel bag collaboration, more than just luggage—this drop ushers in Gap apparel that's unlike anything ever seen before. We're also offering Gap's travel-engineered apparel that's seriously next-level. Think oversized hoods to shield your eyes in-flight, hidden pockets for your passport or boarding pass, and even an inflatable neck pillow built directly into hoodies.

This is heritage meets innovation at its finest. Gap brings the iconic denim and timeless silhouettes, while BÉIS brings the problem-solving. Together, we've created a wardrobe that looks like style, feels like comfort, and solves every problem before it even happens.

This limited edition lineup of luggage and apparel is already making waves, and with no plans to continue production, there's a good chance they'll sell out fast. This celebrity luggage brand collaboration represents a moment in time, and we're not planning to make endless quantities.
