Best Handbag Carrier - Need help please
 

I would look at some of the other styles of KB bags. I have three, I also have a kundle which more like a sling.

Good luck in your "shopping"

KWIGY-BO, all the way!! :thumbup:
I have a large black alex.

The only thing about the designer knockoffs that worries me is where it's made.

Otherwise... If you need a sneak sneak bag, I recommend a Kwjgy Bo, or another brand which I can't remember the name. (metro something?) they're $300+ so I've only admired them from afar. I'm actually thinking of getting my second KB. A large Alex luxe. :)

Here is Riley in his Kwigy-Bo bags.
We started with a Small Black Alex Luxe....
sold that one and got a Large Black Alex, which I LOVE!!

He Just LOVES Bags....Any Bag....and gets to go so many places with me!!
Nobody ever knows!!

I have 3 Kwigy Bo's & 1 CeCe Kent. The Kwigy Bo's aren't even on the same playing field as the CeCe Kent in terms of quality. For starters, the KB is "faux leather" not real and the zippers are cheap quality.

The KBs are available in bigger sizes though. My current yorkie is WAY too big for my CCK, so I use the KB. My last yorkie was 5-5 1/2 pounds throughout her life and she fit the CCK perfectly.

Let us know what you finally go with & how you like it.

Love my KB! Don't know anything about the others but really like my KB Alex!

I just ordered the "Argo by Teafco Petagon Airline Approved Pet Carrier" in Pink Loved the shape and the fact it can be used for air travel and also has a strap for the car seatbelt. Had great reviews on Amazon so I'll let you know how it is. Best part is it doesn't look like a carrier!

Too rich for my blood. They are very nice though.

I too have a couple of KB Alex bags. While they aren't as nice as a leather bag, they have held up to years of wear and tear so far. I had to have the zipper replaced on my gold bag, but it was $15 and it's as good as new. I would love to get one of those CeCe Kent bags, but they aren't big enough for both pups, and I don't ever leave home without both dogs :)

I LOVE the BK one you linked but didn't see the price. The CeCe I didn't care for, esp after seeing the price! Kwiggy's aren';t really my style either, but they do look like real handbags. I just don't like how KB's aren't real leather for that price. But many here LOVE them.

As for LV or Gucci, you will be looking at $1200+ and they SCREAM dog bag. No sneaking in there.

ETA: The BK, how do you find out the price, and the other angles, such as the side vents and inside?

Thanks :)
 

Thanks for all of the feedback! I'm leaning on the KB Alex - not the patent one. Everyone seems to love theirs. Although it probably isn't the best summer bag, I'm sure that it will be really useful.

Riley - Riley is so adorable in his bag!!! The photos sold me on the Alex ;)

Noonie - I just realized that I don't have any info about the BK Mia. I did a web search & couldn't find an online retailer. So I emailed the company in Hong Kong. I'll let you know when I hear from them.
I did find the BK "Karli" - BK Atelier Karli Black Carrier
and the BK "Goldie" - BK Atelier Dog Carrier - Goldie Black
for a reasonable price. So I'm assuming that the "Mia" is in the same range.
And you're right...a Louis and/or Gucci would so scream doggie :/

Hope - I checked out the Teafco Petagon. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no pastel in my wardrobe & the carrier only comes in light blue or light pink. I did add the Teafco Tango to my Amazon Wish List though. Thanks for the tip! It almost looks like a gym bag :)

I'll update when I make a decision. Thanks so much for the help!

I don't have one yet but the Alex Gold Lux is so pretty and looks like it would work. That will go on my wish list.

I ended up going with this bag...

Sophisticated Lady Dog Bag - AIN - GlamourDog.com

It's affordable & looks pretty basic. It's due to arrive on June 4th :) I'm still searching for a more "summery" carrier.

Floral Carrier
 

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.
