| Thoughts on the Petote carriers? I can't find a carrier that I like, especially because the only carriers I've been able to see in person are the nylon, practical type.. not the pretty purse carriers. Petote looks like they have nice carriers, but I can't seem to find any good pictures of them online. Anyone here have a Petote?

| I don't have a petote, but I do have a Jaraden getaway carrier. It is a little bulky, if I'm totally honest, but very functional and not one person has been able to tell it's a carrier or that Billi is in there, with the exception of when I have the head flaps open for Billi to stick her head out. I've actually taken it to restaurants and the grocery store (don't shoot!) and so long as I have the mesh vents closed, no one's ever known. The Kwigybo carriers are really cute too, if you can get your hands on them!

| I made a sling for Winnie that just looks like a boho bag...it has fuzzy fleece lining and a stiff bottom. I put a hook and attach it to her harness. She lays in there 9 times out of 10...every once in a while she pokes her head out....I wear it cross body. I've never had a problem taking her places but I can't say I've taken her to a grocery store or anything. It kinda just looks like a purse. I will post a picture of it later when I can get on my computer and make it the right size to share! Last edited by chickensmith; 09-30-2014 at 12:32 PM. |

Alexander Bag by Dogs of Glamour I saw some reviews on YorkieTalk about the Kwigy-Bo being flimsy so I'm not sure if I would want a flimsy bag for the money. I've only heard good things about Jaraden. I'm just having a hard time deciding because I can't see any of these bags in person. I like the Wooflink carriers but they are sold out, I believe.

That sounds really cute! I'm scared to use a sling style with Chloe because I still need to train her how to be calm in a bag. She goes CRAZY when people pass when she's out on a walk so I don't want her going crazy in a bag.. I need something sturdy for her because she's a rascal, lol. I would love to see it though, it sounds very cute!!

| I don't have one, but I've seen the petote metro a few times and like the look of it. I've also seen the jaraden Windsor and didn't like it as it was chunky, hard and heavy even while empty. I have 4 kwigy bos (1 small & 3 large) I like them because ZoE is bigger and she fits in the large (just). It's on ok bag, but way overpriced for the cheap quality hardware and construction. My favorite bag of all time is the cece kent Nantucket that I used with my last yorkie. Unfortunately, they don't make it in a large size to fit ZoE. It was expensive initially, but is leather and good quality. The petote Katie is similar in style but I can't speak to the quality as I haven't seen it in person. I've spent more on four junkier bags for ZoE than I did the one quality bag for Chelsea, so I'd advise to get quality right off the bat.

I have not read about the Kwigy-Bo being flimsy, only that it has a tendency to 'collapse' in on the pup, but most people are really happy with them. The Jaraden are all gorgeous. They have closed their business, so if you want one, snap it up fast. Petote is beautiful. Look at their website for photos. There should be at least one boutique in NYC that carries a couple of the styles for you to see in person. Call ahead.

| Hi BabieChole, I am also not familiar with Petote, but I have a Jaraden SoHo bag. It's really pretty and trendy looking, but I have to admit it is very uncomfortable to carry. It's a bit bulky, somewhat heavy and the handles end up digging into my shoulders. I ordered it online, and I wished I would have tried it out in person first. So, I cannot really recommend it. I just ordered another carrier, which I tried on minus my pup, from a store called Zoomies in New York. It is much more like a tote bag and seemed so much lighter to carry. I wish you luck in your pursuit of a fashionable, yet comfortable carrier. |

I think the Alexander looks to have longer straps though, and the Classic Satchel looks to be more of a hand bag? The button up sides scare me a little bit too because I'm scared Chloe will want to break free, lol. She needs a little bag training on how to be calm inside.

I wasn't planning on buying another Jaraden, but I will if they liquidate their bags. I'd like to find something cheaper when my boy comes along.

Kwigy-Bo was sold to a new owner last year. They have not re-stocked their full line yet.

I don't really use my Soho bag because it's a tight fit for Lola and it's very wide and heavy for me. | |
