Nov 23 2021, 3:00 pm

BÉIS Travel officially has a Canadian website. Translation: there’s no more duty fees.

The popular luggage and travel accessory company founded by Vancouver’s own Shay Mitchell in partnership with Beach House Group,  first hit the U.S. market in 2018.

Shay Mitchell is seen with items from her company BÉIS Travel.

The launch of the Canadian site came in response to customer requests due to high currency conversions and shipping costs, per a post on their Instagram account on Oct. 22.

“We’ve been traveling far too long to not go international. First stop… CANADA,” the post read. “We heard you. Shipping select items is about to get easier.”
