Designed for Pets, Carried in Style
A good pet carrier does two things equally well: it keeps your pet safe, comfortable and calm, and it makes carrying them as effortless as possible for you. At Lipault, our cat and dog carrier bags are built around both of those needs, combining practical features for your pet's wellbeing with the lightweight, considered design that makes every Lipault bag a pleasure to carry.
Your Pet's Comfort, Built In
Every Lipault pet carrier is designed with your pet's experience at the centre. A short internal leash keeps them safely secured inside without restricting their movement unnecessarily. Multiple openings on the sides and top provide good airflow and visibility throughout the journey, reducing stress and keeping your pet calm whether you are on a train, in a car or navigating a busy airport. The soft interior gives your pet a comfortable, padded space to settle in, and the structured base means the carrier holds its shape even when fully loaded.
Easy to Carry, Wherever the Journey Takes You
Our pet carrier bags come with two carry handles for short carries and a shoulder strap for longer journeys where you need your hands free. A rear loop on the back slides directly over a suitcase telescopic handle, so you can move both bags through the airport together without any awkward juggling. And when the journey is over, both carriers fold flat for compact, easy storage at home until the next adventure calls.
Two Collections, One Thoughtful Design
Our pet carriers are available in two collections to suit different tastes. The Lost In Berlin version is crafted from our matte rubber effect material with a soft-touch, contemporary finish and excellent resistance to everyday scuffs and splashes. The City Plume version is made from soft, lightweight twill nylon with a more relaxed feel. Both the rubber effect material and the twill nylon fabric are water-resistant, keeping the exterior of the carrier clean and protected in typical daily conditions.
Travelling by Plane With Your Pet
Our pet carriers are designed to be compact enough for cabin travel with a small cat or dog, sitting under the seat in front of you throughout the flight. Most airlines that allow pets in the cabin have specific requirements for the carrier dimensions and the maximum weight of the pet, and these vary significantly between carriers. We strongly recommend checking your specific airline's pet travel policy well in advance of your trip, as requirements can differ and change. Our pet carrier pages list the exact dimensions of each model so you can verify compatibility before you travel.

FAQ
What pets can use a Lipault pet carrier?
Our pet carriers are designed for small animals, primarily small cats and small dogs. The carrier needs to be large enough for your pet to stand, turn around and lie down comfortably inside. We recommend checking the dimensions of each carrier on the individual product page and comparing them against your pet's size before purchasing, to make sure they will be comfortable throughout the journey. Maximum weight recommendations are also listed on each product page.
How does the Lipault pet carrier keep my pet safe during travel?
Our pet carriers include a short internal leash that clips to your pet's harness or collar, preventing them from jumping out when the carrier is opened. Multiple ventilation openings on the sides and top keep the air flowing throughout the journey, reducing stress and keeping your pet calm and comfortable. The structured base keeps the carrier stable, and the soft interior provides a comfortable resting space for your pet to settle in during transit.
How do I carry the Lipault pet carrier?
Our pet carriers offer three practical carrying options. The two top handles are ideal for shorter carries when you only need to move the carrier a short distance. The included shoulder strap lets you carry it comfortably on one shoulder for longer journeys, keeping your hands free for tickets, doors and everything else a busy travel day throws at you. And the rear loop on the back slides over the telescopic handle of a suitcase or rolling bag, so you can move both your luggage and your pet together through the airport without any awkward carrying juggle.
Can I use the Lipault pet carrier on a plane?
Our pet carriers are designed to be compact enough for cabin pet travel, sitting under the seat in front of you during the flight. However, airline pet policies vary significantly between carriers: each airline sets its own requirements for the carrier dimensions, the maximum weight of the pet, the species allowed in the cabin and the additional fees involved. We strongly recommend checking your specific airline's pet travel policy well in advance of your trip and verifying that the exact dimensions of your chosen carrier meet their requirements. The dimensions of each model are listed on the individual product pages.
What is the difference between the Lost In Berlin and City Plume pet carriers?
Both carriers share the same core features and are designed for the same purpose, but they differ in material and aesthetic. The Lost In Berlin version uses our matte rubber effect material with a soft-touch, contemporary finish and excellent resistance to scuffs and everyday wear, giving it a sleek, urban look. The City Plume version is crafted from soft, lightweight twill nylon with a more relaxed feel. The rubber effect material and the twill nylon fabric are both water-resistant. The choice between them comes down to the look and feel that suits your personal style.
Is the Lipault pet carrier easy to store when not in use?
Yes. Both pet carriers fold flat when not in use, making them easy to store in a cupboard, wardrobe or under a bed between trips. This is one of the practical advantages of a soft-sided pet carrier over a rigid crate: when the journey is over, the carrier takes up very little space at home. Simply fold it flat, tuck it away and it is ready to go the next time your pet needs to travel.
How do I care for my Lipault pet carrier?
Regular care keeps your pet carrier fresh and in good condition between trips. For the exterior, use the Lipault travel accessories cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap in gentle circular motions to remove everyday marks and pet hair. For the interior, wipe it clean regularly with a damp cloth and leave it open to air dry after each use to prevent any odours building up. Check the zips, openings and internal leash regularly to make sure everything is in good working order. All Lipault bags come with a 2-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects.
