What do you get when one of the most beloved clothing brands of all time teams up with one of the most popular travel brands of the moment? Gap x Béis, a 26-piece capsule of travel-ready clothes, accessories, and denim-inspired luggage co-designed by actor and entrepreneur Shay Mitchell, the founder and chief creative officer of Béis.
Trendy travelers have been ogling Béis’s sleek suitcases, bags, and accessories since Mitchell first launched the brand in 2018 (we’re big fans over here at Condé Nast Traveler!), but this collab marks the brand’s first foray into apparel, with a limited-edition collection of tops, bottoms, jackets, hats, and even kids clothing, designed to be comfy and multi-functional for a day on the go.
“Travel has always been a big part of my life, and I’ve learned that what you wear and carry can completely shift your experience,” Mitchell told Traveler exclusively. “This collection was built with that in mind. We wanted to create pieces that move with you—whether you’re sprinting through an airport, exploring a new city, or just trying to get some sleep on a long flight.”
Take a peek at the lineup and you’ll find an oversized hoodie with a built-in neck pillow, a convertible jumpsuit that folds down into pants, and even cargo pants that zip off into shorts. If you’re already a fan of Béis, you may also notice that the clothing items come in the brand’s signature colorways: beige, black, and berry pink, perfect for mixing and matching.

“Partnering with Gap on this collection and campaign felt deeply nostalgic and meaningful—I grew up with the brand,” says Mitchell. True to Gap form, the line also includes a pair of denim shorts, a denim jacket, a denim T-shirt, and two pairs of jeans—all loose and comfortable enough to be worn on a flight.
The five Gap x Béis luggage pieces—a backpack, weekender, small carry-on, regular carry-on, and checked suitcase—are also inspired by Gap’s classic jeans, each sporting a gorgeous light blue hue. This is the first time Béis has come out with a blue colorway, so expect the shade to sell out quick.
