Looking for an Auth Coach or Juicy dog carrier - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Now that I have a fur baby I am looking for a carrier so I can discretely take her in the stores with me.

I am a Coach-aholic but I think the Coach carrier might be too big for a 2.8 lb baby. Fancy is only expected to get to 3.5 maybe 4 lbs. I really like the Juicy carrier though - the bowling bag style. I don't know if we have any stores in Oklahoma that carry them. I haven't checked Saks Fifth Ave yet. I would rather try to find a better deal anyway, even if it was lightly used but I do want it to be authentic - no fakes please. (I'm a label wh***

)

So if anybody has either one of those carriers and are planning on selling them please let me know. I've searched eBay with little luck on the Coach and I'm "watching" a couple of Juicy carriers. If anybody knows of a good place in Ok to look for a carrier similar to those I would love to know about that too. Its hard to find a "discreet" one!

I was going to suggest ebay for a Juicy carrier, but you do have to be careful of the fakes being sold there. In OK I'm not aware of stores selling Juicy carriers but then I've never looked either. Dillard's might have them or you can always order on-line through Nordstroms, Neiman Marcus or other on-line stores.

I don't know how old your dog is, but remember the size charts are just an estimate. Joey wasn't 4 pounds at 6 months, and then gained ove 1 1/2 pounds in the next few months. If you are buying an expensive carrier, you might want to wait until your dog is at least 6 months.

As much as I love Coach, I kind of hate their dog carriers

It's very big, bulky and heavy. And it certainly isn't a discreet type of bag. Most Juicy Carriers aren't very discreet either, IMO. They're also rather heavy and not as comfortable as other carriers I've tried. I toted around my 2lb Yorkie in a Juicy carrier and it felt like I had a bowling ball in there!

I love Kwigy-bo carriers. The "Alex" bag is perfect for sneaking your baby into places. No one ever knows there's a dog in there! I got mine at Tinkerbell's closet...it's this one Kwigy-bo Alex Carrier from Tinkerbell's Closet. It's also very light and comfortable to carry on your shoulders.
