MARCH/APRIL 2023 SHOWCASE
CHIC PET CARRIERS
Match your designer bags with these premium pet carriers
for your pampered pooch or fancy cat
It’s clear that pets are on the fast track to celebrity status since
high-end brands and designers are introducing carriers for their
owners to carry them in.
For the jet-setting pet, there is the Louis Vuitton pet carrier.
Styled in Monogram canvas with natural cowhide trim, it is
designed for comfort with plush carpet and a soft ventilation net.
Easy to carry with its adjustable shoulder strap, it’s the stylish,
practical way to travel with a pet.
For the very posh pup, check out Goyard’s pet trunk. Called the
Niche trunk, it is designed for carrying a dog, or for using as a
kennel at home. Measuring at 55cm x 40cm x 45cm, this spacious
trunk is covered in Goyardine canvas and enhanced with the
brand’s Clamecy cowhide.
The French brand also has smaller and less structured pet carriers
such as the Voltiguer, which comes in the style of a duffel bag,
and the Chien Gris that takes inspiration from Goyard’s popular St
Louis tote. Both models are available in several colours like black,
blue, green, yellow, orange and white.
If you’re looking for something lightweight, Prada has a nylon
and leather version. Decorated with the Italian label’s triangle
logo, the black-coloured pet carrier features a removable bottom
lining and external pockets for added practicality.
Want to look stylish without compromising your environmental
principles? Look no further than Anya Hindmarch’s Dog Tote.
Part of the British brand’s I Am A Plastic Bag collection, the Dog
Tote is made from plastic bottles previously destined for landfill.
The bag is crafted in a cotton canvas-feel fabric and coated in a
material made from car windshields to give it a durable and petresistant
finish. The inside reveals a zipped pocket
and a removable 100% recycled shearling
lining on the base of the bag to keep your
pup comfortable and cosy, in addition
to a cut-out on the side of the
bag so they can peep out.

Italian label Gucci also has a gorgeous carrier for pups and kitties.
The square bag, which is covered in the brand’s ubiquitous
insignia and accented with its red-and-green signature colours,
comes with a zip-top opening and a mini-leash inside the bag.
