Hi All!

I noticed a few people had Juicy Couture Carriers and was wondering whether or not they thought that they had enough features and functionality...

I saw a few on Ebay that I liked, but was concerned about whether they'd be too big, or not allow me to car a water bottle and a little food.

Thanks so much for your input!

I've had an authentic Juicy Couture carrier, I ended up selling up. I had the medium size which is larger than most peoples on here. I didn't like the bag for a few reasons.

The first being, it just seemed squished. My boy is barely 4 pounds and in the bag it was like he was all scrunched up, he couldn't even lay down flat he had to be like curled up in a ball. there wasn't any room for a blanket, toy, nothing else. The second reason was, at least where I live those bags are very popular and I got spotted ALL the time when carrying that bag, everyone knew there was a dog in there and if I wanted to get anything done I was stopped by a zillion people wanting to see inside.

My third reason was the weight of the bag, it was about 3 pounds without the dog and the shoulder strap, it's really long so the purse is down by your hip and I prefer my bag to be closer to my side so I can rest my arm on it.

I did love the additional compartment where you can put all your things but even that is a little bit small. Once I put my wallet and some makeup and a leash in there the bag was getting REALLY heavy. Over all, I prefer my carriers from trixieandpeanut.com they are more functional, lighter, and have more room both for the dog and for your things!

I have the "Skull with wings" one, and I love it. I don't think it is too heavy, but I don't use the shoulder strap. I don't find it comfortable with the shoulder strap. I've looked around for carriers for a long time, and I think most are over-priced low-quality bags with a mesh panel on the side. Juicy's carriers are made of quality materials, and are actually worth your money.

Many people realize that there is a dog in there, but I don't mind because I take it to the dog friendly malls anyway. If someone insists on seeing the dog I just lift the bag up to eye level, they take a peak and say "oh, how cute," which I don't mind.

I think you should go to a store and see the carrier before you purchase it online, though. That way you can see how big it is, and see if you like it.

Do you have a Petfly's or a Juicy? I didn't know since you mentioned a skull and the only carrier with a skull that I knew of was Petflys. I was looking into getting a Petfly's one but haven't decided yet...

My newest carrier is this one from Trixieandpeanut,

I can't say enough good things about it, great quality and WELL worth the money!

I have this one:

I have a petflys one as well, but that does not have a skull on it.

Very cute! How would you compare your petfly's one to your Juicy bag? Would you same they are the same quality or do you like the Juicy one better?

lolabella · 03-17-2007, 06:05 PM

Actually, I like both equally but they serve different functions in our house. I don't like carrying petflys one outside because it looks like a duffel bag, and doesn't have any place where I can carry my wallet and cell phone safely. But, I really like its stucture and design. Especially when we are traveling it is perfect.
Since petflys one has the side opening, it also doubles as my Chi's "den" in the house. We leave it open in the study, and he goes in it to take naps when he wants his alone time. I would definitely recommend it.

Thanks for the info! I appreciate it!

I love my Juicy bag. I tried so many others and ended up returning them or reselling them. Juicy Is perfect for me.
1) My shoulders slope down a bit so anything that is on them needs to be narrow to fit up higher by my neck,
2) There are 2 handles not just 1 that crosses over.
3) The handles are large enough to carry on your forearm not just by hand.
4) It has a place to put my $ and credit cards, cell phone, lip stuff, etc
5) I like the way the openings ae placed for her.
6) Mine is all black so it is not noticible that it is a carrier if I put her in the cart in it. I don't get a second look - Of course I don't carry a purse so it looks like I am when I use it.
7) Plenty of room for her in there of course I never tried to stick a water bottle there just my stuff and treats.

I guess it is all up to each persons needs. Best of luck in finding your perfect bag.

They look nice.. but they are DEFINITELY heavy!!!! So I haven't bought one..

I am celltei fan!! definitely a celltei fan.
I have three of their bags right now, and I just ordered fourth one... (actually it was a prize from picture contest)... Then I have ordered two bags for my friend for birthdays etc...

I just love them!!! I know Juicy courture definitely has different looks... but if it is heavy.. then no good for me!

mizzwanned · 03-18-2007, 02:25 PM

They are a little heavy but I have one in a size small and I love it! I bought it for my first pup Teddy, when he was smaller but he outgrew it quick and he's not a bag baby anyway so it really depends on your pup. I bought another puppy London and she is really tiny so I use it for her to go everywhere and she just loves it! She sleeps in it and goes in it like its her bed. I don't find it too heavy because she doesn't weigh much and I don't carry too many things in the bag besides her and a blanket. I find that the little space to put things on the side of the bag is a decent size. You can put makeup, your phone, leash, maybe a little book but the more you put the heavier it'll be. Also I don't use the long strap, I don't like it. I just carry the bag with my inner elbow just like I would carry a purse. But I would go and see the bag somewhere if I were you because it's not for everyone. Some ppl think it's too bulky while other's love it.

I love my Juicy bag..I even had it before I was allowed to take my baby home!
I have this one..but in seafoam..
http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2916282/...bo=6007096&P=1
Its great because when I go places no one realizes that theres a dog in there! So no one gives me a hard time. The pockets are great to put your things in there and a leash, etc. If you're worried about not having enough room for her like some posts, they did have a larger bag, but I thought it was rather bully and probably not that comfortable to be carrying around all the time. Plus the Juicy bags are so stylish, and I got the matching hoodie and leash set! I need help!

mdcote · 03-19-2007, 09:54 AM

I love my Juicy bag too, but it gets too heavy after awhile - that's the downside. When the pups were younger, I could put both in there just fine, but now I can only carry one at a time. I do like the separate compartment for your wallet & cell phone - I don't need to carry my purse when I use this bag.

ME TOO! I bought a Celltei bag after looking and looking at different carriers online. I

my Celltei bag and I'm pretty sure Ceiba does too. (I have the Classic Pak-o-Pet in black.) Plenty of room for Ceiba's treats, toys, water, etc and room for my stuff too!
