I have some very nice carriers.
I use the 2 Door style for soaking cats in shampoo for bath time.

I'm huge into color options on anything I purchase. I've been that way my entire life. The ones I own are Maroon, but they have gone through many color options since I purchased mine approx. 9 years ago.
I also own some nice soft sided yet strong carriers. I've literally stood with all of my weight on the frame of this and it won't budge.

Now this has gone through several design styles and colors as well. Mine are Maroon (again) and come with more pockets and details they have since removed. I do not like the bone design they are using right now BUT... it's still as strong.
Now I also enjoy traveling in style. Heart
Providing I'm not flying, Or packing too many things for a cat show, I've just purchases 2 designer carriers that I'm totally in love with! Ohh La La!~

http://www.verabradley.com/Site/Store/ProductDetail.aspx?Sku=812&I now own the Peacock and Capri Melon. I have my eyes on the beautiful Petal Pink and may purchase a 3rd one. They retail for $97.00 but if your an E-bay shopper you can generally purchase them around $40.00 plus shipping.
Hope this helps!
