Prior to 2015, I didn’t think much about luggage. Before a trip, I’d head to T.J. Maxx, shell out $50 for whichever carry-on caught my eye and then inevitably have to toss it when it broke after a few flights. Then came Away, the travel brand founded by two Warby Parker alums that skyrocketed in popularity and ubiquity (real ones may remember their NYC subway ads—promo code included). Unsurprisingly, Away’s success—it’s one of the highest funded female-backed start-ups ever—birthed a host of competitors, including Béis, which was founded in 2018 by actress Shay Mitchell and has quickly gained internet fame via Instagram and TikTok. But could a celeb-founded brand hold a candle to Away? I wanted to find out, so I decided to compare my Away Bigger Carry-On to my Béis Carry-On Roller to decide which one takes the cake.
