| Kwigy Bo carrier I have adopted another yorkie- Sophie who is 18 months and 3.5 pounds. I also have lola who is 4 years and 9 pounds. I am looking into getting a carrier that I can take Sophie out in. I am particularly interested in Kwigy Bo Mary Lou, London or Alex. I know a lot of people here love the Alex carrier, but I am thinking it is a little too formal for me. I am VERY casual. I really like the Mary Lou carrier but does it have an outside pocket as well as an inside pocket. In the product description it says an inside pocket. The picture of the carrier shows a zipper on the back of the bag. I need to ba able to take a wallet and a cell phone. Anyone have pictures of themselves carrying one of these? Thanks for any help. |

| Hi! Out of all the styles you mentioned, the London would be the most casual. The other bags (including the Charlie) seem a bit more formal/dressy to me. Another more casual style by Kwigy Bo is the Alyson carrier. I think it's discontinued though because I haven't seen it being sold on a lot of websites recently. However, I have a brand new one that I've never used because it's a tad too big for my guy. I LOVE the look and style of it (it has compartments for your phone/wallet/etc.), but I like his carriers to be a little smaller. Another thing is, I'm barely 5 feet tall and 105lbs, so it kind of looks like luggage when I'm carrying it lol. Here's a link to a review on the Alyson carrier Kwigy-Bo Designer Dog Carrier: Alyson review at Kaboodle. And here's another one that has a view of the side and also a picture with a dog inside it Alyson Dog Tote review at Kaboodle. If you're interested, I have the white & black one and can take some pics and give you more info/details if you like Btw, where in Ontario are you? I'm from Ontario as well! If we're close enough, maybe you could even come see it in person and try it out for your baby!

| Would you mind sharing where you found the Charlie bag for only $109.99? It is the bag I really want and I have not seen it anywhere at that price. Thanks. |

| It is the gray colour. Found it online at Maggie Wags. It is also discounted at the Kwigy Bo site. Says there could be some minor leather discolouration. I figure if there is I could have it dyed. Would like it in navy or dark brown anyway. We'll see how it looks when I get it. Either way it is half price. I'll let you know how it looks. It could be a little while as delivery will take longer since I am in Canada.

| Guess i missed out on that one. I already ordered it for 109.99, but kwigy-bo only ships fed ex I believe and that would have incurred huge shipping and customs brokerage fees so it might have ended up costing me that same anyway. I ordered mine from a store that will ship USPS which is a heck of a lot cheaper coming into Canada. Would like to order some sweaters though.

| Hey! Sorry this is a little late, but here are the pics I promised you For reference, Mocha is about 3.2lbs. He plopped down and started sleeping as soon as I put him in there! It must be comfy! lol It has 2 big outside pockets (one on each side) and a roomy zippered pocket on the inside. It's a very sturdy and well-made bag. It also has a removable foam pad on the bottom and a sturdy leash clip for their harness/collar. One end of the bag has mesh and the other end has an opening that you can zip down and let your baby poke his head out. Let me know if you have any other questions 1) Brand New Kwigy Bo Alyson Bag (the hardware is still wrapped). 2) Mocha is standing up in this picture. As you can tell, it is still quite roomy. 3) Here he is plopped down and starting to sleep lol. 4) I had to use treats to get him to get up from the bag **There are still a few more pictures to come**

| That's a really cute bag. I'm looking into getting the Alex large in Black, but I was looking at a site here in Canada, and seen the Alyson carrier on there. It stated that there was a one inch difference in size from the Alex, I think. Not sure how my Tila would fit into an Alyson, maybe I'll have to buy two carriers. lol. |
