The Best Béis Travel Bags, According to Our Jet-Setting Editors

Béis The Commuter Duffel ($158)

If you love a good duffle bag, this Béis The Commuter Duffle is sleek and so easy to carry. It’s made of water-resistant nylon with vegan leather detailing and metal feet to elevate it. Inside, there’s a water bottle pocket, a padded laptop sleeve, a zipper pocket, two mesh pockets, and two elastic pockets. The outside also has a zipper pocket, slip pocket, and trolly pass-through.

Editor Quote: “I am a carry-on girlie through and through, but ever since I started taking more weekend trips with my girlfriends and indulging in a slew of overnight stays (all in the same of self-care, of course), I quickly realized that my carry-on suitcase had proven to be more of a nuisance rather than a practical investment — at least for those super-short trips when I only require an outfit or two. My colleagues have long raved about Béis’s weekender bags, and after the brand debuted its newest Commuter Collection earlier this fall, I knew it was high time I gave the brand a try — and with its sleek Commuter Duffel, no less.

Despite it being a ‘weekender bag,’ the product boasts ample interior space that’s incredibly deep and functional — so much so that I’m genuinely convinced it might have more packing space than some of my hardside carry-on bags. The bag also goes far beyond your typical duffel as it’s fitted with functional exterior pockets, interior organizers (including a pocket that’s perfect for storing your laptop), adjustable leather straps, and five metal feet on the bottom, which help to keep the accessory clean — even when it’s sitting on the ground.

I love how sleek the bag looks and the fact that it’s incredibly lightweight. I took it as my plus-one on a recent trip to Sedona and managed to fit everything and more into the accessory — including seven outfits, two pairs of shoes, my toiletry bag, portable steamer, and more. Beyond making it my new go-to bag for weekend trips, I have a hunch I’ll also be using it as my personal carry-on bag moving forward, too.” – Kyley Warren, former assistant shopping editor
