I love the size of this new wallet. It fits everything but is so slim and not heavy. I got the bright coral colored one so it never gets lost in my large purse. 9ne of my better purchases!

So far so good! Definitely superior to my old heavy wallet, yet can hold everything I need! My mother received one as a gift & showed it to me. After seeing hers, I had to have one! So glad I ordered one for myself. Would highly recommend this product!

Love the size and slimness of it..the coral color is beautiful...I had a red one that was washable and I don't think this one is..that's the only think I wasn't aware of...

Merchant Response:Hi Seashell, Correct :) Only our full-nylon wallets are machine washable, but definitely safe to do a quick spot clean on the leather :) and of course the nylon inside. Wishing you a wonderful weekend! xo, BigSkinny

This is my second leather slimvelope wallet. I used my first wallet for many years until it started to look its age. When I thought of a new wallet, it had to be the same kind. I could never go back to a bulky leather wallet.

My mom bought a wallet years ago from your company. I got her the black leather one for Christmas this year and she immediately started using it. Love how slim it is and will fit into almost every bag she owns. Highly recommend!

High quality, elegant product
January 2, 2021
My daughter and I bought one at the Food and Gift festival in Tacoma, WA. It's got all the part a wallet should have, but is so much lighter. I got the vinyl one, and it is holding up better than expected-no scuffing or breakage at the seems or edges. My daughter got the leather one and is so happy with it, she wanted a second on in black, because she got a brand new, high end purse and she wanted a wallet to update the look.

Size, style and appearance had me ordering my 2nd leather wallet! I wanted some color versatility to go with different bags and I didn't even bother to shop around. Straight to the Big Skinny website and ordered!
Pros
  • skinny!

So much more room in my purse and lighter weight
November 10, 2020
Nice wallet. Love the color. After I put my checkbook inside it has been a challenge keeping it snapped shut but overall I am pleased. I am hoping the leather will stretch a little in time.
Pros
  • Light weight, roomy.
Cons
  • I wish the magnetic snap was larger and stronger.

This wallet is light and able to hold all my cash and credit cards without adding bulk or weight. It was the only logical choice to replace my old Big Skinny wallet (which I had for YEARS!)

This was given as a gift. I own one myself and it changed my life so I had to share this great find. The recipient called to say how much she loved it. She is trying to scale down and commented on carrying less weight and that she loves the color. I also gave a billfold to my husband though he didn't need it because it really will change your life! He says he loves it. It is so much easier to carry and functional. His other wallets are now in the back of the drawer. I've recently purchased a girls billfold for another friend. Can't wait to give it to her next month! These products are lightweight, durable, practical and pretty. I've only bought items in leather as it dresses it up a little.

Actually works as claimed
July 21, 2020
The wallet is working very well for me. Truly skinny, lightweight. It is holding many cards, paper money and some coins in the back. Color I ordered is beautiful. I will mention that you cannot expect the snap closure to click in in a substantial manner. Its snap closure has a very a soft action and you are sometimes not sure it has actually closed.
Pros
  • Very lightweight, color excellent, holds many cards as claimed.
Cons
  • Snap closure

Perfect!
July 6, 2020
I had this wallet previously in the nylon and LOVED it - so lightweight and yet so roomy, nicely organized and having the coin purse is a great feature. The leather adds a touch of elegance and I think won't show the wear from bumping up to the other bulky items in my purse like the nylon one did. I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend this brand to anyone.

This wallet is absolutely wonderful. I have long been a fan of small wallets. The smaller the better. I bought this wallet for a friend months ago. She loves it so much I decided I needed to buy one for myself. Best thing I ever did! It is amazing how much you can put in this wallet and yet it remains slim. Credit cards, insurance cards, club store cards, they all fit. This wallet takes up even less room in my purse than the small wallets I usually buy. I highly recommend it!

Love this Slimvelope Wallet
March 16, 2020
This wallet is so sleek, pretty and lightweight!!! it holds everything I had crammed in my other wallet (plus more)?€? I used to use the Big Skinny smaller fold over wallet (for years) and I loved it but I had that thing so crammed packed it wouldn't hardly snap closed anymore (that's how much you can put in these things people)?€? so I tried 3 different *normal wallets* and (1) all my stuff would not fit in them (2) they were heavy and made my purse even heavier to carry (sigh) sooooo I kept searching everytime I went to the Fair for the Big Skinny wallet (because that's where I bought my first one (at a wallet booth there) and could not find a bigger one to replace my smaller one (sadness)...then finally a lightbulb moment of *look on the internet* (duh) and there they were!!!!! I bought this one in such a beautiful blue and I bought the Panther Clutch also (so I could pick between the two which one I wanted and give one to my daughter)?€? WIN WIN WIN!!!!! I think I will buy one for my Mom and my Granny!

Big Skinny wallets are the only ones that I will buy!!! I can fill it with all my credit, debit, medical cards, cash, checks, coupons, gift cards and there is still room for folded documents too! I purchased a designer brand wallet after my 1st Big Skinny purchase only because I fell for the color and texture of the fabric. The designer wallet couldn't hold half of what the Big Skinny wallet could, and I ended up carrying a second smaller wallet as well. I used it for about 3 months before donating it to charity and purchasing my 2nd Big Skinny wallet. Big Skinny wallets will be the ONLY wallet in my handbags from here on! Thank you for the efficient design and fabulous soft leather too!

My black Big Skinny "Envelope" is just what I was looking for. Slimmer than I thought possible while making room for everything, buttery soft leather and excellent craftsmanship. What a superior product, so glad I found Big Skinny!

I have been so pleased with the Slimvelope. It is stunningly well designed. Minimal in appearance and yet holds all the parts that needed a checkbook type wallet at least twice as thick with sticky zippers. I particularly like that the card pockets are snug without being too tight and the paper money pockets don't require surgical precision to be able to fasten the clasp. No need to change wallets for a small bag. Purple leather does look and feel good.

Slim as described
October 28, 2019
I am very happy with my leather Slimvelope Wallet. I needed more room in my smaller purse and the Big Skinny wallet gave me that. It still holds everything my bigger wallet did and has a nice supple leather finish. I do not have to struggle to fit my paper money in it like I did with my previous wallet. I am thankful that I discovered it when i saw that my sister-in-law had one.

This leather slimvelope wallet is the dressed up version of the nylon wallet. I like it when I'm going out on the town. It is not as lightweight or thin as the nylon version, of course, but it's still thinner and more light weight than most. This product is another winner from Big Skinny!

Love my new Wallet
September 10, 2019
I purchased the women's slimvelope wallet in Red leather. The leather has a great feel and look to it. I can't believe everything I had in my thick wallet fit into this one easily. This wallet has to be 2/3 smaller than the big bulky one I had. This wallet also stayed flat as promised and seems to feel lighter as well. I love that my pocketbook has so much more space. Great fit for my hand as well. couldn't be happier w/my purchase.
Pros
  • nice leather, color and size

LOVE my new Slimvelope Wallet
June 11, 2019
I don't order a lot of stuff online but took a chance on this product as it seems to be exactly what I was looking for. It did not disappoint. Love the colour and it truly is slim even with all the credit card spaces filled. My only minor issue is that when filled with Canadian Loonies and Toonies (change) the clasp is sometimes harder to get closed. However this is really not surprising since our coins are so big. Would recommend this no problem and down the road will purchase again. :)

Sleek Red Wallet
June 8, 2019
I bought the Slimvelope wallet in red. The color is sharp and cheerful. The color of the lightweight interior matches the leather exterior. The size and shape of this wallet is sleek and versatile. It fits well in my smaller purses but does not get lost in larger purses. I think the color helps this wallet stand out inside a purse. This wallet would not fit well in most pockets but the size is just right for carrying essential IDs, credit cards, and some cash.

Was exactly as promised. Like other reviews, my only negative is the snap doesn’t always snap. Love the color, everything in my old wallet fit and took up one third of the space as my old wallet. Will recommend to friends and will purchase from bigskinny in the future. Thank you

Merchant Response:Dear Jo, Thank you for your feedback! Please let us know if you have further issues with the snap & we'll be happy to send out a replacement to you! Thank you again, BigSkinny

This is the 2nd time I have owned a 'Big Skinny". This one is fine but the one I purchased several years ago seemed sturdier and the magnet stronger.

Merchant Response:Hi Joyce, Thank you for your feedback! Let us know if you run into any issues with the magnet and we'll be happy to exchange. We designed our latest models with stronger magnets. Wishing you a wonderful day, BigSkinny
Pros
  • Skinny.
Cons
  • Magnet on clasp not as strong. Older one seemed of better quality.

Good for those who carry checkbook
May 25, 2019
After a year of carrying my checkbook *and* my folding big skinny wallet (which was five years old and still going strong), I got an email from big skinny and realized I could buy a wallet to hold everything: cards, cash, and checkbook. The slimvelope is working perfectly for this purpose. I have dozens of cards, cash, change, and a checkbook in my new wallet. I love it. It still fits in my smaller purse as well. I will always buy big skinny for myself and my husband. They are THE. BEST. WALLETS.
Pros
  • Skinny
  • Fits everything
  • Local company
  • Cute colors

Only a few ounces lighter than my old leather envelope wallet but so much slimmer. Now fits nicely in a purse without bulging the sides. Holds everything my old one did which is a lot.

Cons
  • wish it had come in a metallic bronze color

This wallet gets more points than I get on weight watchers!
April 13, 2019
This is the second time I have purchased this wallet. There was nothing wrong with the gray leather one but it got a little dirty after using it for a very long time. It never tore or stretched out, even though I squeezed in more than one card in some of the slits. The important thing is that I gave up my name brand wallets like Kate Spade and Brighton because of the extra weight and bulkiness that came with them. If you are concerned about using a non status brand, stick with the leather. There is very negligible difference in the weight between their leather and nylon. Yes their are more stylish wallets but it is totally worth the trade off. BTW, my mom and sister are converts as well.
Pros
  • Slim, light weight, and the credit cards stay put!
Cons
  • Not as high end looking as designer brands but it's totally worth it if you can get over that and you need to lighten your load!

Best wallet I’ve ever had!
April 11, 2019
I LOVE this wallet. It is so light, and so thin, and, yet, it holds EVERYTHING I had in my old, big, heavy, fat wallet. The other plus is that it is very good looking. I have the purple leather version and get compliments on it every time I take it out of my purse.
Pros
  • Thin, light, beautiful, holds everything
Cons
  • NONE

Great Wallet
March 30, 2019
I really like my new wallet. I was able to get all of my items from my old wallet into it with ease, and the thin size is very confortable to carry. I just wish that the snap closure was either a little bigger, or higher up on the wallet to close. I will definitely buy another one of these wallets in the future and/or for a gift for someone. Good product, good purchase. Love the color.
Cons
  • Small closure.
