Collection: Carriers

Wool carriers offer a classic, textured look with durable construction and leather trim — a strong choice for everyday fall and winter use. Cashmere carriers use softer, finer fabric for a more luxurious feel, also with leather trim and pockets. Leather carriers like the Braided Veneta and Faux Alligator are statement pieces designed for pet owners who want a high-fashion look. All three feature mesh ventilation panels, a removable pillow, and a safety tether.

Cashmere is finer, softer, and lighter than wool, giving cashmere carriers a noticeably more luxurious hand feel and refined appearance. They also feature leather trim and pockets, a nylon-lined interior, and the same safety features as all Canine Styles carriers. For pet owners who appreciate premium materials and want their carrier to feel as elegant as it looks, cashmere is the upgrade.

Yes — several wool and cashmere carriers have matching coats available in the same fabric and pattern. This is one of the signature touches of the Canine Styles fall/winter collection. Check individual product pages for matching coat availability, or browse our coats collection to find coordinating options.

Slightly. Wool, cashmere, and leather carriers weigh a bit more than mesh or canvas models due to the heavier fabrics and leather trim. However, they’re still designed as soft-sided carriers meant to be carried comfortably on your shoulder. Most Canine Styles carriers weigh between 2 and 4 lbs empty, depending on the size and material.

You can, though they’re best suited for cooler weather and climate-controlled environments. Wool and cashmere are naturally breathable, and mesh ventilation panels on the sides help with airflow. For warm outdoor days, a mesh or canvas carrier will keep your dog cooler and more comfortable. Many customers keep a lightweight carrier for summer and a wool or cashmere carrier for fall and winter.

Spot clean wool carriers with a damp cloth for minor marks. For deeper cleaning, dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the fabric’s texture and shape. Avoid machine washing, as wool can shrink or felt when agitated in water. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Treat leather trim occasionally with leather conditioner.

Dry cleaning is the recommended method for cashmere carriers to protect the delicate fibers. For small spots, gently blot with a damp cloth — avoid rubbing, which can pill the surface. Store flat or stuffed with tissue in a cool, dry place when not in use. Treat leather trim with leather conditioner periodically to keep it supple.

Wipe your leather carrier with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove dust and surface dirt. Apply a quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat, which can dry out the leather. Store in a dust bag or cool, dry location when not in use.
