Is the bag suitable for large and heavy cats?

Yes – the CHECK-IN cat carrier is sturdily built and holds up to 10 kg. This makes it suitable for larger cat breeds such as Maine Coons. Of course, your cat's size also plays a role, but our furry product testers confirm: even a 9 kg Maine Coon feels safe, comfortable and ready for any adventure in this bag.

Can the bag be secured in the car?

Of course – the CHECK-IN is a perfect travel companion. Thanks to the practical loop on the back, you can simply thread the seat belt through it and securely fasten the bag in the car. This allows your cat to travel comfortably while you stay relaxed and focused on the drive.

Is the bag also suitable for air travel?

Yes, the CHECK-IN cat carrier was designed to meet standard carry-on dimensions for air travel. That makes it the perfect travel companion on the plane – light, sturdy and comfortable. Tip: Since regulations can vary between airlines, please check your airline's exact guidelines before your flight.

Is the CHECK-IN cat carrier escape-proof?

Yes, absolutely! The CHECK-IN features zippers with a press-stud lock and an integrated safety hook inside. This lets you attach your cat by its collar or harness while it travels safely and calmly – no risk for little escape artists.

Are the buckles and rings of the CHECK-IN carrier made of plastic or metal?

All buckles and rings of our CHECK-IN are made of sturdy metal with a matte coating. This gives the carrier a premium, modern look and ensures maximum durability.

Travel like Choupette. Karl Lagerfeld's cat Choupette is a true jetsetter. With the Choupette x LucyBalu carrier, you both travel in style – your cat and you.

What we love about it:

Because the bag follows Karl Lagerfeld's style code while being designed entirely around your cat's wellbeing. You'll find all the features under CHECK-IN carrier.

Highlights

LucyBalu x Choupette. This special edition was created together with the real Choupette and her team.
Strap with logo. Practical and beautiful: the adjustable shoulder strap carries the “Choupette x LucyBalu” logo.
Gold is a must. The golden details dazzle even the paparazzi.
Attention to detail. Inside, a logo print decorates the lining; outside hangs a pompom in Choupette's eye colour – which also makes a great toy.
Pet passport at hand. The extra front pocket keeps all the essentials within reach.
Exclusive packaging. The bag comes in a fabric pouch with the Choupette logo.

Description

Finally, a travel bag for Choupette – and for you

Choupette now lives with Françoise Caçote, Karl Lagerfeld's former housekeeper. Françoise had long wanted to develop a bag of her own for Choupette, she told us. There's no shortage of cat carriers, but none had really won her over. Choupette travels a lot, so Françoise knows exactly what matters in a carrier.

After our first collaboration, a special edition of our hammock, it was clear to everyone: we'd take this on together. More than a year of development later, it's here. Choupette has a travel bag that meets her needs, Françoise is happy – and now you benefit from it on the road too.

Sehr schöne Transporttasche :)(:

Ich finde das Design sehr ansprechend und alles ist super verarbeitet und sieht echt schick aus.
An den Seiten geht der Reißverschluss etwas schwer auf und zu aber an sich einfach ein toller Hingucker und meine Katze liegt sehr gerne darin :)

Super schöne Reisetasche

Die Reisetasche ist mega und sehr hochwertig verarbeitet. Mein Kater ist auch total begeistert und hat es sich gleich nach dem Auspacken gemütlich gemacht. Ich glaube, die nächsten Nächte wird er wohl nicht bei mir im Bett verbringen 🤣.

CHECK-IN Katzentragetasche - Choupette Edition

Vielen Dank für das wunderschöne Foto!

Stylische, hochwertige Katzentransporttasche

Die Tasche ist bei meiner Katze sehr beliebt und bietet genug Platz auch für längere Reisen. Ich freue mich, endlich keine unhandliche, hässliche Tasche mehr mitnehmen zu müssen. Ich werde sogar noch eine solche Tasche für die zweite Katze bestellen.

Nicht für Flieger

Entspricht keinenfalls Airline-Bedingungen

Hallo, danke für dein Feedback! Mit ihren Maßen von 46 × 30 × 30 cm entspricht die CHECK-IN den Vorgaben vieler Airlines für die Kabine. Jede Airline hat aber eigene Maximalmaße, und die Richtlinien ändern sich immer wieder. Deshalb empfehlen wir, sich vor jedem Flug direkt bei der jeweiligen Airline zu erkundigen. Schade, dass es bei deinem Flug nicht gepasst hat. Viele Grüße, dein LucyBalu-Team

Wow!

Amazing quality 🫶🏻 Super stylish!

Thank you, we are happy, that you like the Check In Bag ! I hope your cat likes it too :-)

Beautiful bag

The bag is sturdy, and has plenty of room, beautifully made with great quality.
Was a bit worried that the height of it is too much for the plane, since Lufthansa's requirements for pet carrier are 21.6" L x 15.7" W x 9" H (55 cm x 40 cm x 23 cm). Noticed that the top of the bag (the height) has room to be pressed down, so hopefully it will not be a problem

It’s great to hear that the bag is sturdy and spacious! I understand your concern about the height for Lufthansa's pet carrier requirements, but it usually fits the requirements ! Our customers use this for plane traveling too and we have never had a complain about this before :-)
Thank you for the feedback.

The best carrier I have ever bought. The quality and beauty is amazing. Plus the functionality of the pockets for my small wallet makes it easier to carry my personal items instead of my handbag. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
