| Kwigy-bo Suggestions! I'm STUCK! Okay, so I'm choosing between Kwigy-bo Alex and Alex Luxe. I also don't know which colors to choose from...I'm thinking either black or camel Alex OR gold or silver Alex Luxe. Any suggestions? Does anyone have the camel color and have suggestions or pictures? Is the black going to be too hot when they are in there?? As for the luxe, I really like the gold, but also like the silver...decisions, decisions, decisions. I would really appreciate your inputs! Thanks! I'm super excited as this will be my first kwigy-bo! I finally gave in~

| I love my KB!! Rosie went to the mall with me today. (Even though they have a sign that says no pets! ) No one had a clue. They just think it is my purse! I have the Alex. Mine is the bown Alex. The Alex Luxe: Gleaming, quilted animal-friendly leather makes this striking satchel really stand out in a crowd. Silver hardware. Braided pleather and chain straps. Inner and outer pockets for storage. Interior safety strap. Removable quilted comfort pad. Complete concealment with roll down side flaps. Airline approved on most airlines. Small: 15"x5"x8" Large: 17"x8"x11" The Alex: Our number one selling style, the plush, quilted animal-friendly leather gives this classic staple a modern edge. Silver hardware. Inner and outer pockets for storage. Interior safety strap. Removable quilted comfort pad. Complete concealment with roll down side flaps. Airline approved on most airlines. Brown/brown trim. Small: 15"x5"x8" Large: 17"x8"x11" This appears to be the main difference: Braided pleather and chain straps. Wish I could help you with pictures of the other colors. Sorry!! But I will say buying the KB is worth the money. I am glad that I went ahead and spent the extra for it. Are you buying through Ryan?

| I went with the KB black Alex because it's versatile and goes with everything. And because I'm afraid of trying bold colors. I love black a little too much.

| Mine is the black Alexa. I think I would have liked the chain better but I liked the large pocket of the Alexa. I got a large for a 4.5 lb dog. She stays really cool in it, surprisingly. She has a sherpa carrier that she gets really hot in.

| Yup, buying from Ryan I've been bugging him with a lot of questions. lol As for the Alex, I'm also leaning towards the black because you can use it with any style of clothing. I'm dressed very causally so I think that would be the color for me. It's good to know that they don't get heated inside. Thanks you guys!! Oh wait, I do have a question...do they wiggle in there? My bf is asking how others don't know there's dog in there because dogs move around, which gives it all away. I'm trying to convince him even thought I'm buying it with my own money! LOL

I wanted the Black Alex but they were out. So I got the brown. I just wasn't patient enough to wait on the black. Rosie does not wiggle in hers. She doesn't make a sound. She is so good in it. I put a toy in it and she just lays down while in the bag. It is like she knows!!

| You will just love your bag....whichever one that may be Zhoie & I have the brown Alex. I think she would like it, seems we just never use it, LOL. I'm really going to get around to that soon. But, we have the Kwigy canvas in the pink with lime handles and love it. That one we use a lot in the warm weather.

| I have the black Alex and the putty Alex. (and I'm gonna order the gunmetal when it's back in stock ). I love them! I thought I wanted the Luxe at first and ordered it but they were outta stock...I'm glad, cos I ran into someone with one at a dog festival and didn't like it as much as I thought I would. I know yorkies are little, but they really get heavy hauling them around in the bag (unless you can set it in a shopping cart...) and the thicker straps & heavier chains of the Luxe I don't want. But it does look alot trendier...

| With these bags, is there a leash on the inside to keep them in? That's my one big issue with the purses is that they have to have the inner leash.
