The men are not alright. Around the country, men are hurting—and all the more because they often won’t admit it. Propped up by the idealization of the “male breadwinner” throughout history, much of society still glorifies the idea of “a man’s man” (i.e., rugged, stoic, aggressive, dominant), leading 8 in 10 men to feel pressure […]
As any traveler knows, the right suitcase can make or break a trip. Lugging a wonky-shaped tote on planes, trains, and automobiles can leave you walking into a weekend away with sore shoulders, and it’s safe to assume we’ve all experienced the frustrations of trying to shove all of our vacation outfits into a too-small roller bag. As someone who spends 100+ days a year on the road, I know these struggles all too well—or at least, I did before I started packing exclusively into Bèis luggage.
The brand, which has seen its fair share of virality in recent years, was founded by actress Shay Mitchell, whose nonstop travel schedule makes me look like a homebody. Needless to say, she knows a thing or two about what the “right” suitcase looks (and feels) like, and her brand is all about delivering just that.
The only issue with Beis is that all of the products are so dang good that you can find yourself adding thousands of dollars of luggage to your cart before you even realize what you’re doing. Thankfully, the brand is doing shoppers a solid by offering 40 percent off of select styles in honor of the first ever virtual warehouse sale—and that includes the fan-favorite Weekender Bag (originally $108, now $65) that the entire internet (myself included) seems to swear by.
Here are the deets: Early access for the sale kicks off March 20 for Béis Loyalists who subscribe to the brand’s rewards program. It’s free to sign up, so if you aren’t a Loyalist, you can easily become one by simply providing your email address. The sale runs as long as inventory lasts, and everything is final sale (which shouldn’t be a problem since you’re bound to love whatever you buy.)
Keep scrolling to shop our picks from the Béis sale, and know that investing in any one of them will make packing—and schlepping—your stuff a total breeze.

This bag came into my life five years ago, has been to 10 countries and countless cities with me, and is still going strong. It’s got more than enough space to hold five days’ worth of outfits, and a separate bottom-zipper compartment to keep your shoes from mucking up your clothes (bonus: it’s big enough to hold a blow dryer). There’s also an internal laptop sleeve and an external zipper pocket that you can slip over the handle of your roller bag for easy transport. It also feels important to mention that I’ve got the beige bag, and even after being tossed around by both me and airport baggage handlers for years, it looks as good as new.

The brand’s mini weekend bag is great for a quick two-night trip (or as a gym bag, which is what I use my black one for), especially because when you zip off the bottom compartment, it’s the perfect size to use as a purse. It comes with a chic removable laptop case, plus plenty of zippered pockets to help all your bits and bobs stay organized. There are five colorways discounted in this version: black, beige, gray, pink (Atlas), and navy blue.
