A truly rare and collectible luxury pet carrier from Donald Pliner’s “Friends of Baby Doll” line, inspired by Donald Pliner, his wife Lisa, and their beloved rescue Maltese Baby Doll. Baby Doll passed in 2014, making authentic pieces from this line increasingly difficult to find.
Crafted in Italy from croc-embossed blue patent leather, this designer pet carrier blends fashion, function, and heartfelt provenance. Thoughtfully designed for both travel and comfort, it features breathable mesh panels, secure zip closures, and elegant gold-tone hardware accented with signature “Baby Doll” bone zipper pulls.
The interior includes a removable waterproof base pad and soft fur inlay, offering comfort and easy cleaning. A built-in leash clip keeps your pet secure, while the side leather tie-down allows the bag to convert into a temporary pet shelter when unzipped. The original ID card is present (previously filled out, easily replaceable for travel).
This piece is pre-owned and gently used, in excellent condition, with only minimal wear to mesh panels consistent with light use.
