Hi, Louise in Houston here. I am also a new Yorkie Mom. :aimeeyork I found a gorgeous carrier (not a handbag type though) on Etsy and am waiting for it to come. Looks a lot like a Vera Bradley carrier, that I cannot afford. Should be nice for the summer months.

https://www.etsy.com/transaction/82918744

Fabric Type: Butterfly Garden Print
Size: Large
Dimensions: 16" L x 10 1/2" H x 5 1/2" W

Features:
Our carrier is made of washable pre-quilted fabric.
On the outside there are 5 pockets, 3 on one side and 2 on the other.
The large pocket has a velcro closure, except in some older bags.
Each end has a window made of pet screening.
The carrier closes with a large plastic zipper across the top.
The straps are approximately 28 inches long.
Inside there is a removable, washable pad and a fabric sleeve with plastic canvas to help firm up the bottom.
There is also a tether with a small leash clip.

Fabric:
We use pre-quilted cotton.
The bags are completely lined and all seams are finished.
The coordinating inner pad is either cotton or pre-quilted on one side and polar fleece on the other.

Care:
The carriers are washable, on the gentle cycle. Hang to dry.
We cannot guarantee the pet screen in the dryer. Inner pad & sleeve are washable & can be machine dried.

There are a few styles left and pricing is reasonable. :aimeeyork

Oh, ok, then I will have to measure her because she is kind of long, that's why I was thinking she wouldn't fit.

I just ordered a Fundle. I like that it only has one handle. It's like a sling. I'm not into the fancy type carrying bags. And while the KBs seem very practicle, they are a little bit $$$. The Fundle was on sale under $100 and I found an online coupon so I saved even more.

I had ordered another bag online "pet ego boby bag" - and that one was only $60. I bought it from a pet travel site. Anyway, I think I like the Fundle better. I'll check them both out when they arrive and return one of them.

Then again, everybody here speaks so highly of the KBs - there's probably something to it! I'm just a newbie and a cheapy.;)

I feel the same way, I would love to have a KB but the problem is the cost, how is the Fundle working out for you?
