I too am a hand bag freak!!! I prefer authentic even for a dog carrier. Its gonna have my baby in it. I want it made well.

I agree, I want authentic even for my Gypsy. I just got a Juicy bag for her and I think it will be OK when she gets used to it a little more. I was wondering it any of you have pictures of your yorkies with their bags (either in them or beside them) so that I could have an idea of size. She sleeps curled up so she has plenty of room that way and she can lay down and put her head out the front without crowding her feet at all. Also it's exactly the right height to zip over her back but to totally close it up she has to lay right down. Does that sound about right? I really don't think I'd want to carry one that's much bigger and it's not like she has to stay in it for hours at a time or anything. I put her in it with a couple of Cheerios and she didn't seem to mind it too much. I'd appreciate some feedback from some of you.

I was wondering about that....they looked of poor quality to me.

I agree. If your going to buy a designer purse, it should be real. I hate knock-offs. If someone doesnt wanna spend $300 or so on a purse, dont make it look like you did.

Any of you 'Juicy' girls out there? I'd love some pictures or some kind of feedback. Thanks.

Here's Sugar in his Juicy. It is the small Juicy and Sugar is 3 lbs. He has more room than you would think from these pictures but I don't think it would be a good size if your dog was too much bigger. Sugar loves the bag. When we get into the car, he wants to stay in it and sleep. I actually felt a little guilty bringing out the bag for these pictures because he thought we were going somewhere.

I love that it has a separate compartment for purse items and it cracks me up that the phone pocket says "hello" and the lipstick pocket says "juicy kiss". Maybe I'm too easily amused! Let me know if you have any questions.

Nikki+2 · 07-19-2006, 06:19 AM

Ha ha! I'm looking at Sugar's pictures again and realizing how big he looks for the bag. Keep in mind that Sugar is a cotton coat and ALL hair.

He really has plenty of room in there.

Kenzies Grandma · 07-19-2006, 06:59 AM

Thank you so much for taking the time to post the pics, Sugar is so adorable!! I'm not sure what size my bag is, it measures 13x9x7 and is supposed to be good for dogs up to 8 lbs. Gypsy weighs 4 1/2 lbs. and measures 8" at the shoulder and 9" from base of neck to base of tail. As you can see from the pics she looks bigger beside it than Sugar does but really when she lays out flat and puts her head on the rest she doesn't seem to be crowded and she can stand up easily and stick her head out. She doesn't seem to mind it at all so I think I'll keep it, I just absolutely love it and can't wait to use it on our road trip in August. She'll never have to be stuck in it for any length of time, it's mostly for places where she can't walk (like in crowds) or for when she gets tired of walking. What do you think? And thanks again for your help.

ps. please excuse her scruffy appearance, it's bath day today.

Awww, Gypsy looks like my Gracie looks right now. I went back and reread the description of the bag I have. It says its 12.5 x 9 x 6.5. I think if Gypsy likes it then its fine. I'm the same as you with the bag. Just use it for running into stores or whatever. Of course if we were going on a plane I would use a much bigger bag but for day to day use, I wanted the smallest I could get away with and still have Sugar comfy.

bevpeter · 07-19-2006, 08:22 AM

I just have to say that i LOVE this post

... it not only talks about our cute doggy's but it talks about my second love.......PURSES!!!!!!!!

I love the Juicy carriers and think they are defently worth every penny.

I'm going to DC this weekend with Nyx and she will be fabulously hidden in this Juicy carrier while I'm riding the greyhound bus. She absolutely loves it, she stretches her little body and sleeps peacefully in the bag.

Kenzies Grandma · 07-19-2006, 09:27 AM

Oh my goodness, Gypsy looks so huge in her Juicy compared to Nyx (who is just too sweet!!). Bev, do you have any pics of your babies in your Juicy bag? I think it's going to be fine but I'm just so worried about maybe it's mean to put her in one this size. Although even the dimensions for the larger size Juicy bags don't seem to be that much bigger. Help!! Reassurance needed!

That is the same one I have for Georgie although unlike Nyx he hates it

Nyx is a cutie pie

BTW have fun in DC I live 15 mintues from there and I love it

I think that the bags are very good-looking, but keep in mind that 99% of ebay designer-brand bags are fake. Even if they supply a picture, you don't know if that is the bag you're going to get (often, sellers show the same exact picture for the same make of bag)... if you're going to get a bag, go to a dept store that is reputible.

Oh - and I must add, my gosh -- all of your babies are so cute!
