Dua Lipa is the ultimate queen of summer living. Whether she’s celebrating her birthday by the pool in Ibiza or at the hottest clubs, dining out in Athens, Copenhagen, and Rio, honeymooning across Italy with her husband Callum Turner, or dancing all night at her own Sunny Hill festival, she knows exactly how to do summer right.
And why let airport baggage limits ruin a great travel outfit? The pop star was recently spotted at New York’s JFK airport carrying a massive Chanel resort 2027 tote. It’s a navy, white, and red striped bag with sturdy black leather straps that wrap around the shoulder—strong enough that even if you packed it with all your vacation essentials, you wouldn’t have to worry about losing circulation in your arm. The bag also features the house’s large black interlocking C logo.
The bag first appeared in Matthieu Blazy’s cruise collection, which was shown in Biarritz back in April. That show celebrated the brand’s seaside heritage, with accessories full of summer fun: seashell jewelry, giant straw baskets, and playful swim caps.
On the runway, the bag was paired with a breezy linen button-up tunic and matching shorts in colorful panels, plus black-and-white striped glove heels. Lipa kept some of that nautical vibe but made it more casual and travel-friendly. She wore a black-and-white striped funnel neck sweater with straight-leg raw hem blue jeans, black heeled boots, and angular black sunglasses.

Dua packed her summer full of easy, breezy outfits—including her Sicilian wedding—with a wardrobe to match: Helsa and Dôen prairie dresses, peasant tops with bandanas (the celebrity hair accessory of the season), Tom Ford-era Gucci pieces, Oresee and Jacquemus bikinis, and of course several Chanel sets. But over the last month or so, she’s been getting back to work on her next album (which might be summer 2027’s biggest hit, we’ll see). That hasn’t stopped her from looking stylish during studio sessions, though. (Check out those gorgeous Manolo Blahnik pumps resting on the studio dashboard during a session in Sweden.)
Wherever Dua heads next, we can be sure she’s packed enough fabulous outfits for this summer and the next inside her giant Chanel carry-on—no lost luggage worries for her! For the rest of us, here are the travel bags worth investing in.
