I have the black patent leather/crocodile pattern. It really is a beautiful bag. Both side pockets have plenty of room for things that you need to carry, and they are completely separated from the part that a pup goes in. I don't carry a handbag when I carry this and use the side pockets for all of my things. The two pockets are hidden from the outside and have a magnetic closure. It doesn't look like a carrier for a dog. I have used it without the privacy panel and have had no problems going into places like Whole Foods. I have attached some photos of Katie in her bag. |
