| Kwigy bo bags? So I have been curious about what these bags look like since so many people seem to love/want them. I checked out google, and well, they are knock off Chanel Cambon bags but for dogs, right? I am confused. I for one am really tight with money right now, but $150+ for a dog bag? Am I alone here? Are those old prices? IDK, i guess if you know my history you would understand my objection. I love my dog, but sheesh that's a lot of money. I guess the point of my rant is IF you know what I've been through.....

| I agree with you...I can't believe the prices of those bags. The are really nice but way too much money for me. I can't spend that much on myself for a purse. So no, you are not alone! Donna

| I agree too..I have never paid that much for any item of clothing or bag for me..I took a tote bag I had in the closet(cloth with fake fur trim and cut a little out of top end for Jada to put her head out.I cut a nylon leash short and sewed it to the inside to hook to her halter) I get comments when I have her out as to where I got her bag.So I have about $5 bucks in it and it is really cute.

| yes, they are chanel cambon rip-offs, and the current prices are from 105-160 depending on where you look and the size you select. i managed to buy two brand new kwigy alex bags from ebay and they were $60 and $65, both brand new. it seemed very expensive to me as well, but after using so many other carriers i knew these were very high quality by comparison. |

| There is someone on here that sells them for much cheeper prices than the Kwigy-Bo site. I never thought I would pay so much for a dog carrier, but I absolutely LOVE my Alex bag and I can take Bentley and Lexi both in it comfortably and people always just thinks it is a purse. They can go everywhere with me and that makes it worth the price for me.

| I had a coach carrier before, well I still have it but I don't use it anymore. Everyone thought it was just a screaming purse.

But when my parents promised our good family friends that we would travel out of state for Thanksgiving I wanted something that would be airline approved and didn't look to gaudy for everyday use. So.... I saved my pennies, got it through someone here on YT and guess what. NO ONE KNOWS I HAVE A DOG WITH ME!!!! Kaji has gone literally everywhere with me. The bank, the grocery store, Target, Home Depot, and my parents apartment. He's comfy, feels safe, and the bag is airline approved so I don't have to go out and buy one that is well... kinda ugly in my opinion. I'm hoping this is an investment and it will last a while. I will be infuriated if the bag falls apart in 6 months. So far so good though. It's been about a month and I have used it more often than I use my regular purses and it still looks like it's in good shape. It's pretty convenient too. All my stuff (wallet, phone, hand sanitizer ) and Kaji fit in it with room to spare. Like I said, we'll see....

| They are pricey, but to me... it's worth it! Couver has been literally everywhere with me, and no one knows! I have the Alex, so I can roll up the ends for ventilation and roll them down when I want to be super discreet I have had mine since June of this year, and it is just a little faded from the sun because of my many visits to the dog park with it. I plan on buying another one eventually so I can have more than one color. With all the places we've been to (movies, restaurants, malls, pubs, stores, etc) I feel that it was completely worth the price! I even had a couple screws come out of the clasp, and Kwigy-Bo mailed me several replacement screws for free. It has been a good investment
