Wicked, a story of the witches of Oz based on the Broadway sensation is set to hit theaters soon and collaborations like the Béis x Wicked collection are dropping ahead of the highly anticipated musical movie.
The Béis x Wicked collab follows the highly successful Béis x Barbie the Movie collection, and offers not only all-pink styles for Glinda The Good Witch but also green-black styles that reference Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. In this limited-edition collection, fans will find reimagined best-sellers from the luggage brand, including tote bags, travel backpacks, toiletry kits and roller luggage, plus details like Wicked-themed zipper pulls, new silhouettes and upgraded compartment designs.
Fans of The Weekender by Béis will appreciate the collab's reimagined shape of the best-selling style, which fashions the travel bag as a vintage satchel.
