Gap and actress-entrepreneur Shay Mitchell have announced a Gap x Béis collaboration, blending functional design with fashion-forward travel essentials. Launching this Friday, the 26-piece capsule includes apparel, luggage, and accessories co-designed by Mitchell, founder and chief creative officer of lifestyle brand Béis. It’s the brand’s first foray into travel clothing, with standout pieces like convertible cargo pants, a bandeau jumpsuit, and a hoodie with a built-in inflatable neck pillow. Luggage items, such as the 'Denim Weekender' and Béis’ bestselling 'Carry-On Roller,' are offered in a limited-edition blue inspired by Gap denim.
The Gap x Béis collaboration leverages Shay Mitchell’s star power and Béis’ cult status in travel gear to reinvigorate Gap’s relevance with millennial and Gen Z audiences. Combining comfort, versatility, and aesthetics, the collection reflects growing consumer demand for elevated essentials that function from airport to street, while reinforcing Gap’s place in lifestyle innovation.
