About Béis
Founded 2018 · US
Shay Mitchell (the Pretty Little Liars actor) launched Béis in 2018 specifically to address what she felt was missing in the celebrity-DTC space: a brand actually designed around the founder's use case rather than badge-engineered. The brand grew quickly in the under-$200 luggage segment and is now a credible competitor to Away in the carry-on space. Acquired a controlling stake by Bahari Capital (2023).

Notable for the llms.txt validator
Béis is a useful example of celebrity-founded DTC that survived the "celebrity brand" tag — the storefront design + tech depth is industry-typical Shopify Plus rather than personality-driven micro-brand.

What this AI-search readiness signals
A D-grade llms.txt means the file exists but has structural problems — usually unparseable markdown, missing H1, or links that don't lead anywhere. These are common when a file gets hand-written without checking against the spec. Each finding ships with a copy-paste-ready markdown snippet on the live tool.
Cross-check with the Schema Audit — high-grade structured data + a clean llms.txt are the two pillars of AI-search visibility. Brands that win one tend to win the other.
