When I saw the CeCe Kent carriers for the first time, I wished I had a little dog that could benefit from such a wonderful, stylish product.

We have four different models here at the office that we feature in our local shows. The Nantucket, the Belair, the Malibu and the Rodeo Drive.

  The Nantucket is a very conservative, pebble grain leather that looks amazing. (We have the Whiskey color.) The brass lock decorative trim gives the impression that this is a high-end purse – not a dog carrier. Both ends of this carrier have vent holes at the base. The zippered cover has a brass clip on the end so to roll back and connect with the brass loop at the top. Very elegant.

  The Belair is a fresh look for the spring/summer months. Available in a Strawberry or Apple print it is sure to stand out in a crowd. With a leather base, handles and strap, this reinforced fabric bag has two panels of mesh on either end for ventilation. One end flap pops down and snaps under the base to provide an open view for your companion. As with all CeCe Kent carriers, there is a safety tether on the inside, as well as a fabric bag to protect your carrier when not in use.

  The Malibu is a very youthful, blingy carrier. With the graffiti print and crystal encrusted buckles this little carrier demands attention. It’s a little smaller than the other carriers, so measure your little companion carefully. The rounded top is completely covered in vent fabric to make sure your friend stays cool and comfortable. When you receive this carrier, you will need to attach the straps. Remember to attach so that the strap goes from buckle to buckle on the same side of the purse. (We attached to the opposite side buckle at first! Oops!)

  The Rodeo Drive, is my personal favorite. Looking like a very summery light blue purse (also available in rose), this bag doesn’t draw attention to itself. Although rich in appearance, I would have never guessed that this was a dog carrier. With the two outside pockets with the magnetic buckles providing a clever disguise (and some additional storage space for your wallet or cell phone) no one will ever know that you have your companion in tow. This bag also has the mesh fabric for ventilation, however, it matches the cream leather so well it just looks like a texture change.

I was very impressed by CeCe Kent’s attention to detail and the quality of their products. That’s why they were my top pick for fashion carriers. Please note that these carriers are not approved for airline travel. They are a very fashionable way to take your little companion shopping or out for the day.
