Yeah, Jaraden makes beautiful carriers but very structured and the Getaway large is huge. It's not for everyone. I have never seen the Dogs of Glamour bag you just posted but I have seen the Alex in person, many times. We have a video review of the Alex on You Tube and on our site. Just by looking at it, I can tell you the Dogs of Glamour tote will be more structured like the Getaway, while the Alex has minimal structure but doesn't fall onto your dog. The Alex gives you side vents on both sides, the Dogs of Glamour tote on just one side and the Alex completely conceals your dog so if you are going in a restaurant or something, no one can see your dog in the bag. The Dogs of Glamour tote looks like it does not fully conceal, you can see the mesh side area all the time, it's never covered. The Alex bag has no top vents, the Dogs of Glamour does, but again, the Tote on top also doesn't fully conceal, from my guess. There are no good pics to really be able to tell. Dogs of Glamour tote is really pretty, we are actually going to be picking up their line, but most dog owners want full concealment and a bag that can go under a seat on an airplane. At 11" on a harder sided carrier, that will probably not be able to go on an airplane, where the Alex can because it just can fold down. The company doesn't like the bag's weight or how many pounds it can hold but the Alex large black is 2.5lbs about and can hold a dog or multiple dogs up to about 14lbs. Hope this helps, maybe someone with the tote would be able to give you some more info about that bag. We will review them and offer full bag details as soon as we add them.
