Thanks for your enthusiasm
Will be using leather and although I love all of the colors, I'm leaning towards black, which is a practical color I use year round.
Yes, we'll be using a type of mesh and I really love the CeceKent bags but do not expect the maker to be able to duplicate it exactly, still curious,
does anyone know how large the air holes are on the sides? http://cecekent.net/wp-content/uploa...rier-hires.jpg
I'm also considering this purse design, adding the air holes and a discreet flap over the top.
Do the extra flaps zip on or snap or connect into an air hole?? Designer Pet Carrier for Two Chihuahuas, one 3.5 lbs and one 5.5 lbs. Still trying to decide which bag style would be more comfortable, the above mentioned or this jaraden getaway style? 
Amazon.com: Jaraden Getaway Dog Carrier - Black:...
The Jaraden bag is for a 6-8 pound bag, if my furrybaby only weighs 4.5-5 pounds as an adult, that bag would be very comfortable, no, or a bit on the large side? Actually, I'm ordering 2 bags, one for myself and another is a gift for my dil, who wants a CeceKent garnet pebble color, but not sure we can find it, her bag may be tan, 2nd choice.
