Shay Mitchell is a Canadian actress and entrepreneur who founded the luggage brand Béis in 2018. The brand is known for stylish and functional travel accessories, including backpacks, weekenders, and suitcases.

Béis luggage is made from high-quality materials, such as vegan leather and recycled nylon. The bags are also designed to be lightweight and durable, making them perfect for travel.

Shay Mitchell founded Béis in 2018 to solve her frequent flyer problems. Thanks to its chic travel accessories, the brand quickly became popular among celebrities and fashion lovers.

“Béis” is a brand name derived from the Spanish word “beis,” which means “kiss.” It is a word chosen by Shay Mitchell for her travel accessories brand to represent the idea of adventure, exploration, and the joy of travel.

“I’ve been very fortunate to travel in my life at a young age,” said Mitchell in an interview with WWD.

“My parents always took my brother and I on trips. I love traveling. It was my first love. And then as I got older, obviously I was buying my own luggage, my own bags, and every time I was on the road, I’d be like, ‘This is missing something’ or ‘I wish there was a compartment for this’ or, like, ‘if I could only design this bag.’”

In 2023, Béis surpassed $120 million in profitable gross revenue and is expected to reach $200 million in its next fiscal year. The company is also on track to achieve 200 percent growth two years in a row.

Béis is a joint effort between Mitchell and venture company Beach House Group. In June 2022, the company raised $12.5 million in a Series B funding round.

Mitchell’s success with Béis has made her one of the top celebrity entrepreneurs of 2023. She is a role model for other aspiring entrepreneurs and proves that anyone can achieve their dreams with hard work and dedication.

“I love Béis and am heavily involved with every facet of the business so I post so much content of me, our bags and otherwise,” Shay told THR in December 2022.

Béis The Weekender, The Backpack, and The Duffle are stylish, functional, and sustainable travel bags from Shay Mitchell’s luggage brand

“During COVID we saw a consumer migration towards our bags intended for more day-to-day use, or quick jaunts,” Mitchell explained.

“Now that the world is opening back up we see our roller inventory flying out the doors (in addition to the day-to-day bags). I think part of this is our high customer return rate. Once you see how great our bags are, it’s hard to stop.”

In addition to its stylish and functional design, Béis luggage is also known for its commitment to sustainability. The brand uses recycled materials in its products and offsets its carbon emissions.

Shay Mitchell’s Late Arrival Causes a Stir at the 2016 Teen Choice Awards

In July 2016, Shay Mitchell accidentally got her poor publicist in trouble when she took her sweet time on the makeup chair and got stuck in traffic.

Naya Rivera’s lookalike arrived at the 2016 Teen Choice Awards so late that she was the only celebrity on the red carpet. Oops.

Shay turned heads on the carpet as a stunning golden girl in a fully-sequined gold dress from Just Cavalli’s Fall 2016 collection.

The ethnically diverse actress embraced a lavish touch of gold with her ensemble, accessorizing with a coordinated Edie Parker “Lara” clutch and an array of sparkling rings.

We can see why her makeup took forever. She sported heavy smoky eye makeup and a striking contour on her face.

Shay finished her all-gold look with Giuseppe Zanotti’s “Darcie” sandals.

These all-gold sandals feature skinny straps across the forefoot and crisscross around the ankles.

Shay may have been late, but she did at least make it in time to pose for photos with the Pretty Little Liars cast.

In true 2016 style, the PLL star documented her day leading up to the Teen Choice Awards on Snapchat. She included some funny snaps while contorting herself into strange positions (literally) to get her hair done.

As they say, you can’t rush perfection. Even if Shay was late to the red carpet, the results seemed worth it.

You can order the Giuseppe Zanotti “Darcie” sandals on SSENSE and Farfetch.
