Comfy and casual or stylish and sophisticated? Whichever your outfit of choice is when heading off to your travels, it’s never complete without that one staple accessory: your luggage!
An essential for every journey, whether it’s a short trip, long trip or somewhere in between, it’s often an accessory that, while key to our travel, often gets overlooked in terms of style. It’s long been an item that we’ve chosen according to our budget and its practicality rather than its aesthetic. We have that one small carry-on for short trips and the big one for longer staycations and they often look like they have been around.
Someone who wanted to change the game and make functional fashionable is actress turned entrepreneur Shay Mitchell. You may know her from hit TV shows Pretty Little Liars and You, but Shay has leveraged her impressive and loyal social media following since, to build an affordable yet chic travel brand, BÉIS.
“After countless trips and #Shaycations, I realised that I wanted to create amazing, affordable pieces for travellers like myself and everyone inspired to seek new places, meet new people and share the world.“, Shay explained.
Speaking of, was anyone else just obsessed with the Shaycation series on YouTube and got inspired to visit all these places themselves? Watching that back in the days and seeing Shay create her own travel brand, it could not have been a more perfect fit. All you see – every aspect of the brand – has come from the brilliant mind of Shay Mitchell. And we get to carry her pride and joy wherever our next journey takes us or even on our daily errands walks and shopping tours.
