Originally belonging to the French model Baptiste Giabiconi, Choupette was given as a gift to Lagerfeld around Christmas 2011 following a stay with the designer while Giabiconi was abroad. "When he came back I thought I'm sorry Choupette is mine," said Lagerfeld. Following Lagerfeld's death, there has been resulting confusion over which is the "real" Choupette page. Choupette's personal account, @ChoupetteOfficiel, was only created after Lagerfeld's death.
