| The best designer carry bag??? I know that a lot of you must collect these. I am wanting to get Paisley one. I never broke down and bought Rudi one because he is so shy in public anyway. Any specific brands I can maybe order off amazon? I am wanting to stay around $100 or under. Thanks!

| I have two designer bags and mine and my puppy's fave is the non-designer one we have. I have a Juicy Couture one that is super cute but it's really floppy and folds in on her. I also have a Kathy Vanzland (sp) bag but one side of it sinks in and the pockets are so small that they are pretty much useless. The bag that is my favorite is Ful brand. It's not that cute but its sturdy and has enough storage for everything you will need when you are on the go with your puppy. HTH, good luck! |

| sometimes not just one bag does the trick I know sorry to say that, but it so depends on how you want to use it. A lot of the expensive ones that are sold like the Kwiggybos and the Jardins (SP) are designed to hide the pup when needed, some of the real glam ones I have seen people sell and custom make on facebook are really comfy for the pup but they are made in a way the pups head is out and resting on the edge like a pillow. Then their are the sling kind and of course the airline approved kind. So the first thing you need to decide is what circumstance you most want to use the bag in.

| Can you direct me to where I can find one that is really comfy with the head is sticking out and resting on a pillow? I've been looking for one of these for months and haven't found anything nice.

| I have a Kwigy Bo bag, the style is the New England Tote and I LOVE IT. I was always concerned with how well a bag is constructed and would I want to carry my baby in something that was not well constructed. I can tell you that Kwigy Bo is well constructed, beautiful and very practical. I won my Kwigy Bo in the YT Raffle earlier this year, after using it the first time I now keep it in my car and use it almost everyday.

| Here's a link to an older thread about dog carriers. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...g-carrier.html There's lots of links to other sites on the thread, good info about bags too. There's so many bags out there! I have 1, but I think I need a few more! They're like purses, you have to have a few purses to go with your outfits! ( It's all about the accessories!)

| I might have mis spoke a bit when I say resting on a pillow, it's soft linning fabric that wraps around the edge of the carrier. They seem to use material such as faux fur and minky type blanket material. Most of the really glam ones I see are on facebook. if you are on facebook I will PM you some of the pages for the ladies that make them, also your best bet might be to contact Aymee aka Southernnbelle, she is a member here, look for some of her posts in the fashion forum on here. Also Rubymoon who is a member here has made a couple but I am not sure if she is selling them, she to can be found in the fashion forum. I don't believe you can zip these completely closed but you would not want to since they really don't have any breathing holes.

| I just looked at that other thread there are some very good links and info on it. I just took a look at the landsend tote. This is exactly the style I was talking about, but this one is plain canvas and the biggest difference is there is no plush linning that extends over the outer edge of the bag. so picture this bag with a lot of fluff on the edges. LOL hope that makes sense. Canvas Tote Pet Carrier from Lands' End

| I have the Kwigy Bo Alex. It is a little more expensive, but IMHO, so worth it! I LOVE it! Most people think I am carrying a purse not a dog carrier. I have found that sometimes it is better to spend a little more up front and get a product you will love. Here is a picture of the KB Alex.

| I like that lands end bag!! As far as I can find Kwigy bo does not sell the canvas bags anymore. You may be able to find a retailer that has old stock and get a good deal. I like the jaraden the best because I feel they offer the best support to the dog. I have jaraden, kwigy bo and a kundle... I use each for different reasons.

| Are you looking for an open one or closed one? Does it have to look like a purse? What exactly do you like? There may be some one who has a used one for sell.

| First of all WOW! Thank you everyone for all of the responses! They have helped SO much! I am hoping to find one that looks like a purse and can conceal her when I am out so as not to draw too much attention. I would consider anything though. After looking over all the posts I think I like the Jaraden the best. I don't mind putting out a little extra cash upfront so I get the right bag. Let me know if you know of any used bags of any kind for sale though!!!

| I have the Kwigy Bo bag and I love it (so does Teddy) He is so comfortable and happy to hang out in it for long periods of time. No one ever knows there is a dog in the bag! |
