" WILD HAZEL - Because being functional can also mean being beautiful ...
  
WILD HAZEL love to be on the way with their dogs, whether in the forest, at the dog training facility or in the city. Until now, they always faced the challenge to securely and clean stow kit and caboodle for the walk such as balls, lead, treats, etc., as well as their personal valuables - whereby they did not want to abstain from freedom of movement as well as from an appealing design. Sure you know what WILD HAZEL are talking about.

The search for a bag with these features was unsuccessful. Therefore, WILD HAZEL developed, with a lot of joy and engagement, the first on-the-walk Bag - a perfect companion with which once can be seen everywhere.
   
Hence, a passion grew to bring beautiful things for dog lovers to the market. Thereby, functionality and quality are just as important to them as a beautiful design. Thus, they are pleased to offer products under WILD HAZEL which are real Must Haves and will bring you and your four-legged friend a lot of joy."

The WILD HAZEL's Kleine has two spacious main compartments;...

Furthermore, the large, rear zipper compartment has a small zipper pocket in the interior.

 Here, I have all for me important things stowed in my WILD HAZEL's Kleine.
    
In the rear zipper compartment I placed my important valuables such as my wallet, mobile phone, keys, and in the open main compartment I placed a small water bottle for Rocky, a small travel bowl, a toy rope and Rocky's lead. Furthermore, a treat and tissues find their place in both the front pockets.

Size comparison: Rocky - WILD HAZEL's Kleine


Review: For some time I was in search for the perfect on-the-walk Bag which was not that easily found. Most of the times I used my normal handbag which is size-wise almost as big as the WILD HAZEL's Kleine, but with one main compartment and one small front zipper pocket, it just did not offer as much storage space as I needed. Thus, I have now found a suitable on-the-walk Bag in the WILD HAZEL's Kleine!
The WILD HAZEL's Kleine offers everything that I imagined in an on-the-walk Bag. It is spacious, comfortable to carry and furthermore it also looks very nice!
I especially like the two spacious main compartments. Thus, I made the rear zipper compartment into mine and the open main compartment into Rocky's. For my personal and important items I always prefer a zipper compartment, because then I can always be sure that nothing just unnoticeably falls out. Therefore, I am very happy that the rear main compartment contains a zipper. Moreover, there is a small zipper pocket in the interior of the main zipper compartment in which my mobile phone has found its place. In the open main compartment I currently store Rocky's small water bottle, travel bowl and toys. But there would easily be space for more! The two small front pockets also find their use. There are the items stowed in, which I quickly need to access such as e.g. tissues and treats.
Additionally, I especially like the colour-matched Poo Pouch. As it is detachable, I have attached it to the belt loop of my trousers many times when I did not want to take along a bag. Thus, I still had a stylish dog waste bag holder with me.
The WILD HAZEL's Kleine completely meets my liking. Not only the good storage space has convinced me, but also the wearing comfort and the design. The Bag is comfortably to carry as the carrying strap is wide and thus does not cut in. Furthermore, the fixing strap holds the Bag in place. Beforehand, I oftentimes had the problem that my handbag slid forward when I bend down (when picking up dog waste, when putting a leash on, etc.) and then hanging in the way or even hit Rocky. This luckily won't happen again thanks to the fixing strap of the WILD HAZEL on-the-walk Bag!
Moreover, the WILD HAZEL on-the-walk Bag simply looks great. I especially like that it does not look like a on-the-walk Bag which is why I oftentimes take it along on other occasions. Simply detach the Poo Pouch and it is already converted into an everyday handbag. Simply brilliant!
I am very happy with the size itself. The WILD HAZEL's Kleine is enough for normal walks and I can stow away all the important items for me and Rocky. For greater outings the WILD HAZEL's Kleine would probably be too small for me. Then the WILD HAZEL's Große would be worth thinking about which would also be more suitable for dog owners of large dogs as I would think that the WILD HAZEL's Kleine could possibly be too small.
So, anyone who is in search for a practical, stylish and comfortable Bag for on-the-walk, should definitely look around at WILD HAZEL!
