The zipper problem, I took to a local leather repair shop and they sewed in a new zipper. The straps (faux snake skin) I don't see how to fix, or I'm on the lookout for some cool chain type hardware to replace them with.It seems like for that much money, it should be leather (at least, I would never buy a regular purse for my stuff at that price if it were not real leather). I agree it should be leather for that price. Then again, I can imagine a leather dog bag could potentially get more chewing from a dog....it sounds like people are very happy with their KB's for the most part. Anyone had any problems with the quality of the bag not holding up?
Also, is it comfortable for the dog to be carried around in this bag with their head out if you would like them to? No, it does not seem like it is meant to be carried open. Leaving the zipper part open so the head an poke through is likely quicken zipper damage. Or, is this the kind of bag you would only use if you were trying to sneak them in somewhere? Exactly, it's a sneak bag! I keep one in my car at all times, so if ZoE is with me & I need to run in somewhere quick, I can pop her in it and quickly run in.
Lastly, are the Alex and Alexa pretty much the same besides the types of pockets? No, the Alex is pleather & the Alexa is nylon.
Thanks for the input! |
For me, personally, it's an ok bag. I wouldn't rate is great, although I it seems like many others on here would, but I'm not sure what type of purses line their closet shelves that they compare it with. And I do feel it is overpriced for what it is quality wise. But....it does look like a regular purse and I have been able to sneak ZoE in all kinds of places using them, so they serve the purpose I bought them for. There just isn't much out there on the market to chose from, but there is definately more for really small dogs than there is for larger dogs. ZoE is a teapot and there is no way she would fit in the nice real leather carriers I've seen...so the KB is my best choice.
