My Top Fashionable Travel Bags for Dogs
Holiday travel! Nothing more fun; nothing less fun. For all its ups and downs, if it makes sense to take your pet, then let’s go in style! Personally, I hate leaving my pups when I travel; I spend time thinking about them and missing them. So, for those who are taking a trip with the whole family, I’ve sourced a sampling of my favorite fashionable travel bags for dogs to make you and your pup look like a million bucks!
Getting you there…
You’re packed and ready to go. Soon, you’ll be leaving for the airport. Having traveled a lot by plane with Sophie, I can tell you there’s nothing better than items to make it easier. I came across this Petote Rio airline-approved roller bag in gold! Yes, gold! It’s very stylish and very functional. Check it out.
This good-looking roller bag can also be a backpack and a carseat! How’s that for multi-functional?! It includes a retractable two-stop handle and detachable roller wheels, and also comes with backpack straps that detach. There’s lots of ventilation, zippers that create windows of exposure for your pup, interior bedding for extra cushioning, a removable faux fur interior lining, a safety leash, and a generous front zipper compartment for storage. Also comes in Black and Ivory.

Brazilian Art Recycled Bag
If you’re headed out to the beach, this is a great choice. Made from 100% recycled and sturdy canvas from Brazil, it has convenient pockets for a water and food bowl, toys, treats, wipes and ID. Each piece is actually handmade in Brazil, so no two have pockets, paint and liners that are the same. An interior leash for safety and a pull out liner that can be cleaned make this a practical bag, too. It’s soft, so throw it in your suitcase. When you arrive at your tropical paradise, you’ll be so glad you did. And, when next summer rolls around, you’re ready for anything. Funky and fun!

Cosmopolitan Couture
If you’re bound for a metropolitan destination like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago or maybe, even, Paris or London, then you’ll need a bag that says savvy. There are many on the market. I like the My Croco Designer carrier by Inamorada in this gorgeous bordeaux color, although it comes in black, too. The faux croc material looks elegant and structured, while the soft and generous silk bow adds sophistication and style. The interior is completely lined in gold damask, with a removable liner for cleaning. Fashionable gold chain handles, and water resistant for getting caught in the rain as you’re hopping from shop to shop.

Hot Totties and Haute Couture
Are you heading out to the slopes of Aspen, Deer Valley or some exotic European ski villa this year? Take me with you! 🙂 Aspen has some of the best shopping around; high quality and lots of statement items. I’ve gotten some of my best pieces in Aspen and for this kind of travel, my Couture by Sophie Cyndi Neon carry bag will not only fit right in, but you’ll be making your own statement! Not for the shy and retiring, The Cyndi Neon features silver, iguana-embossed fabric, neon pink and violet faux fur trim and a violet ultrasuede interior with silver trims. A safety leash inside and a removable soft pad and head pillow make this a pure luxury piece, if I must say so myself! Comes with a matching coat, collar & leash.

I hope I’ve given you some ideas for whatever kind of getaway you’re planning. Remember to research how to keep your pet safe while traveling, and take plenty of treats, water and wipes, along with a good, general first aid kit so you’re ready for whatever life throws your way. Wishing you and your pets a safe holiday filled with much joy, quality time together and love.
