That’s one ludicrously capacious carry-on.

While making her way through JFK Airport to catch a flight Thursday, Dua Lipa carried a comically gigantic striped Chanel beach bag in lieu of luggage.

The $8,100 raffia accessory debuted on the runway during Matthieu Blazy’s cruise show for the French fashion house, which was shown in Biarritz in April. Lipa styled hers with a striped quarter-zip from the same collection, along with straight-leg jeans, heeled boots and dark sunglasses.

Measuring in at 22.8 x 27.6 x 7.9 inches, the “Don’t Start Now” singer’s XXL tote exceeds most major airlines’ approved carry-on dimensions; it’s unlikely the supersized sack would fit in the average overhead bin, let alone under the seat in front of Lipa’s.

“The only kind of excess baggage I fully support,” one fan commented on Instagram of the colossal carryall, while another joked, “That bag is carrying Dua.”

“Did it get its own seat?” a third asked.

All this begs the question: What could the music industry’s best-dressed vacationer possibly be stowing in that jumbo personal item? Below, our best guesses:

Bon voyage, Dua!
