Luggage giant Gap partners with a trendy celebrity-endorsed brand this year, creating suitcases in the season's most popular color with a blend of timeless neutrals and strong aluminum tones.
In the world of travel essentials, a splash of color can make all the difference. This summer, Gap has partnered with BEIS to introduce a vibrant and stylish travel collection inspired by the skies and cerulean waters of the year's best summer destinations.
The Gap x BEIS collection, holiday-ready and consisting of 25 pieces, is available worldwide online and in select Gap stores. The collection features relaxed silhouettes and cartoony patterns in various sizes, including wearable, adult, baby, and toddler.
One of the standout pieces from the collection is the denim-inspired blue luggage, designed for organization, with a built-in compression and expansion mechanism, and weighing 3.5 kg. The bag's versatile design makes it suitable for easy travel and everyday commute, with smart organization, shoulder pads, and a retro-inspired, genderless design.
The collection also boasts a signature 'Pale Aqua' shade, inspired by Gap's iconic jeans designs, which can be found on the luggage and other items in the collection.
For those seeking a similar coastal blue color, July's 'Coastal Blue' colorway offers a muted palette combined with a sleek, almost sheeny surface to make a statement year-round. July's travel and lifestyle products, like the brand's travel bags, are close in inspiration and tone to the Gap x BEIS 'Seaside Blue.'
Aspinal of London has also joined the color-drenched travel trend with their collection in a blue hue referred to as "Deep Shine Capri Blue." Their collection includes leather travel essentials such as passport holders and luggage, making them a luxurious option for those looking to add a touch of sophistication to their travels.
Away, known for beach totes and travel accessories, offers a popular bag in "Seaside Blue" with functional features like multiple pockets and loops for carrying towels. Their Seaside Blue beach tote bag features a knitted mesh body and handles, designed to store items safely and prevent sand spillage.
While TravisMathew and Luggage Pros offer quality travel luggage and bags, their offerings are mainly in neutral or standard colorways rather than the specific "Seaside Blue" tone central to the Gap x BEIS collaboration.
Shay Mitchell, who designed the collection, has a personal connection to the launch and stars in the campaign with her partner and children. The collection aims to capture a sense of joy, warmth, and play, inspired by the uplifting effect of traveling the world.
Emma Breislin, the interior editor of our website, owns two color-coded July travel bags and believes there is nothing chicer than strolling down the airport with a pair of matching ones. So, whether you're jetting off on a summer holiday or commuting to work, the Gap x BEIS collection offers a vibrant and stylish way to carry your travel essentials.
