Last month, I embarked on an exhilarating trip across Europe, attending a wedding and venturing on a holiday that spanned 16 days and eight cities. With unpredictable spring weather in Ireland and varied dress codes for the wedding events—which included a tea party, a castle reception, and a lively Honky Tonk hoedown—I faced the challenge of packing strategically. Thankfully, I turned to Béis Luggage, which proved more than capable of handling my extensive travel demands.
The Béis collection, particularly the Hybrid Check-In Roller and Carry-On, became my trusted companions on this adventure. Not only did they provide ample space for my varied attire, but they were also durable enough to withstand frequent repacking and the occasional jostle during car rides. With a price tag of £388 for the Check-In Roller, it was an investment that quickly demonstrated its worth.
Packing for this trip was a finely tuned exercise. Between the two Béis suitcases, I managed to stow away five pairs of footwear—including bulky boots for the hoedown—three handbags, two coats, five jumpers, and two pairs of jeans, alongside my bridesmaid’s dress, which had a small train. An ingenious exterior zipper expanded the luggage by a further two inches, allowing me to avoid the usual struggle of squeezing everything in—a significant relief during a busy schedule.
Organisation was key throughout my travels, and the multiple interior mesh compartments helped me maintain some semblance of order, despite the constant unpacking and repacking at each destination. Two laundry bags supplied with the suitcases made it easy to separate worn clothes from clean ones, a feature I found particularly convenient as my laundry pile grew over the fortnight. I anticipate they will be equally useful during my summer travels, particularly for handling wet swimwear.
A standout feature of the Béis Hybrid collection is a clever hook on the bottom of each suitcase, allowing for easy connection. This meant I could navigate bustling airport terminals while rolling both bags with one hand using the handle of the Check-In Roller—a brilliant design that simplified my journeys. Comfort was another priority; the cushioned handles made carrying my luggage far more pleasant, especially during lengthy walks through international airports.
Examining the items I packed, a few stood out as absolute staples. The Coach Teri Shoulder Bag has been my travel companion for years, thanks to its roomy interior and versatile straps that easily switch from a crossbody to a shoulder bag. Additionally, the Bishop + Young Ford Tie-Front Track Pants were a godsend during lengthy car rides, offering both style and comfort.
In terms of footwear, my Gola Viper Sneakers were a comfortable inclusion, supporting me on endless excursions over cobblestones and uneven turf, with the exception of the wedding day. For evening outings, my Madewell The Longline Straight Jean paired beautifully with heeled boots, making it an excellent choice for dressing up while remaining fashionable.
I can’t forget to mention the Bagsmart Hanging Travel Toiletry Bag, which remarkably kept my toiletry essentials organised for the entire two-week duration. With its hanging design, it allowed quick access to all my items—no more rummaging around for that elusive lip balm!
In a sophisticated espresso hue, my Béis luggage turned heads throughout the journey, though it is also available in classic black and a soft dusty blue. However, my utmost favourite piece was undoubtedly the Béis Duffle, priced at £168. This stylish bag, with its genuine leather cushioned straps and removable crossbody option, served as my under-the-seat carry-on for both long flights. Its multifunctional design included a padded laptop compartment and ample storage for personal essentials.
During both wide-holder international flights and road trip segments of my holiday, this duffle proved invaluable. It kept items such as my water bottle, travel toiletries, books, and even a change of clothes close at hand, ensuring I was always prepared for the unexpected.
After 16 adventurous days traversing Ireland and the Netherlands, the Béis suitcases showed only minor scratches on their polycarbonate exterior, a testament to their durability. I look forward to taking them on future travels again, as they delivered an efficient and stylish travel experience that truly elevated my trips.
As travel enthusiasts often say, the right luggage can make all the difference. With Béis, I am convinced I have found my ideal travel companion, blending practicality with chic design seamlessly.
