 4. SUITABLE TO YOUR CLOTHING STYLE AND COLOR SCHEME
Black with its inconspicuous nature has been the number one choice regardless of the style. Husbands and boyfriends seem to be more willing to share the responsibility of toting a small pet if the carrier is black. Yet, some people like to have a carrier that matches the color of their pets while some like to have a contrast. For example, pink and baby blue looks very cute for a while maltese. Leopard looks so sexy for a genuine pigs with patches of light brown color. Red is sharp for blue and tan yorkie. Birds tend to accept a bright color like gold easily. A black poodle in a black
color carrier isn't really our designer's idea of traveling in style. Guys mostly choose a cold color like grey, navy or dark green and more young gals are into pastels.
The only recommendation we have is to think carefully of your clothing style. If your whole closet is brown and black, don't harrass your daschund with a bright yellow carrier you somehow pick up in an inpulse buying. If jacket with heels is your usually clothing style, you will find the messenger bag style Pet-on-the-Go uncomfortable - it wrinkles your jacket.

Materials & Caring |
Basic offers all essential features in a simplied design for the casual lifestyle. The all season Blue & Grey are chosen for the gender neutral Pak-o-Pet style. Green camouflage matches the urban Pet-on-the-Go design and Sandy blue with light color interior is a more subtle choice for those whom dislike army print. Our choice of a beige body with burgundy plaid pattern mesh and beige interior color summer Tote-o-Pet is well accepted in the US. The greg denim with Jean pattern mesh is ready for the fall.
Active is for people and pets with an active lifestyle. Beige with the Burgundy trimming is an all time favorite in Tote-o-Pet and Pet-on-the-Go. More active colors have been introduced to the Pak-o-Pet and Backpack-o-Pet styles.
Classic is a conservative line for those who prefer to travel with their pets discretely. Besides black, we have added leopard print, a traditional print for pet items.
Fantasia is where we dare to be different with unusual patterns, prints and combinations. New fabrics are introduced, some are difficult for production but we will handle it. Limited quantity is available.
Precious is our luxury line, crafted with such materials as hand-beaded silk and fine leathers. The workmanship is exquisite. Some vintage designs are known to have collection value. |
Nylon, polyester and microfiber are all synthetic materials derived from petroleum but are made from different processes. They are commonly used for making luggages, computer bags or travel backpacks. Coating, PVC or PU, are bonded to the back of these materials for strength and durability. Nylon is durable with different strength. The higher the number denier, the stronger or thicker is the material. Polyester can be slightly lighter in weight but tends to be soften under intense heat. Mircofiber has the highest density, was very expensive when it was first invented (used for highend raincoat), and offers a smooth and upscale appearance.
In terms of breathability, with the coating in the back, the bonded materials is not breathable but waterproof. Unlike our clothing that comes in direct contact with our body, our search for breathable materials leads in a very insignificant improvement that is not worth the price. It is more efficient to use mesh and opening in the design for good ventilation.
The construction of Celltei® carriers is consist of 1) coated surface material, plastic boards for support and lining also coated in the interior. It is safe to hose the entire carrier. Just to make sure the wet carrier is dried fast so that water stains would not be left for long periord of time and erose the coating on the metal fasteners.
Delicate fabrics such as silk and velvet are bonded to a thin layer of foam by hand to lend strength to the fabric before they are used in production. Extra care should be taken in handling these materials. Spot clean using a small brush and mild soap is recommended.
Leather as well as faux leather (PVC) are used for trimming. Genuine leathers are sourced from New York. We may add faux leather with matched color for the underside of the leather in area where strength is needed (such as the shoulder strap) if the leather is too soft and elastic. We may also used faux leather for the exterior bottom of the carrier because of its waterproof quality. Proper care should be taken in cleaning the leather.
