    Perfect carrier except prone to fraying (4.9 stars!)

    I love this carrier! Comfortable, stylish, and well-designed. I do have to have it periodically replaced under WildBird's warranty claims because the material, especially the linen, is prone to fraying, but thankfully customer service has always been great about that.
