zipper sticks
December 22, 2019
This is my 4th Panther Clutch. I bought 3 about 4 years ago. I like the navy with white polka dots. it's cute, but the zipper sticks on this one. Hopefully it will be ok.

Merchant Response:Dear cj, Thank you for your feedback! I used a bit of graphite powder on my zipper to help it run more smoothly :) others have run a bit of bar soap along the zipper and that seems to help. Hope this helps, BigSkinny

I have had several Big Skinny wallets, different styles. This is my ALL TIME FAV!! Yes it's large enough to put my iPhone 10X MAX in it with cards, cash, receipts and a lip gloss. I'm not worried about anything falling out. The only thing that would have made this PERFECT would have been if it was out of RFID material! I got the blue polka dots and have gotten several compliments.
Pros
  • Holds my iPhone 10X Max, lip gloss and key fob.
Cons
  • Not RFID material

Will never stop using this
December 4, 2019
Before knowing BigSkinny, I had never used long wallet before, for I was sure it must be difficult to carry around. However, as I realized I rarely put wallets in my pants pockets, I decided to try them. I started with the Slimvelope tri-fold; but horizontally tri-folds are confusing for my (lol) so I looked for another model and chose this clutch. Turned out that it fits my style a lot. It's sooooooo convenient: light and slim, of course, and partitions are made so perfectly. I don't think I will ever use other wallets after this one....

Panther Clutch - Strap Issue
October 14, 2019
While I love my clutch my only issue is that the strap keeps coming off.

Merchant Response:Dear Jill, We'll get a replacement strap sent to you immediately! Big Skinny is proud to offer a 1 Year Warranty for parts & workmanship and we stand by our products :)
Pros
  • Love the color, the size and the usefulness .. it even fits my Android Motorola phone.

I love this wallet.
August 6, 2019
I have purchased your products in previous years at the Big E in Massachusetts. One year I bought this wallet for my Mom. She loved it too! She just turned 90 and recently lost her wallet. I had to replace everything that was in the wallet for her. And I also ordered her a new wallet which was the reason for this purchase. She previously had a purple one (her favorite color). I replaced it with a red one in case the purple one showed up again...this way she won't get confused. She loves the red wallet also!

Roomy and flat
July 29, 2019
Just used it to travel. Because it was flat it was easy to access in my tote while leaving room for other items. I’d suggest you tighten the hole over the zipper for the strap- my strap came off but luckily I felt the wallet drop and tightened it myself.

Merchant Response:Hi Dee, Oh no! We'll get a replacement out to you ASAP! Thank you for calling this to our attention.

Great clutch
March 22, 2019
I love this clutch. After transferring all my cards into this, it still is as thin as it was before filling it up.

Exceptional clutch!
January 26, 2019
This design holds everything I need from money to cards, pictures, coupons and even a cord for my spinning wheel! It's my second clutch, bought as a backup in case I wore my first out (the latch on the zipper broke) before any wear on the fabric showed after three years of use! Love it!!! E. Russell
Pros
  • Super lightweight, well designed and tough but easy to clean.
Cons
  • Zipper clasp broke after years of wear. It was time to get a new one anyway.

Really Nice Identifications and small Documents holder
December 15, 2018
I have/had a similar item in leather, other company, for some years now. It was a bit bulky and thick, I now use this holder and I am truly happy with the item. Looks nice, nice material, slim and light weight.

Great wallet , but....
December 13, 2018
The Wallet is great. It holds a lot of stuff and remains thin. However, I have gone through 3 of the same wallets in the last 5 years. The zipper (either the pull or the zipper itself keeps breaking. The metal needs to be thicker.

Merchant Response:Dear Cheryl, Thank you for your feedback :) Zippers have officially been changed to a more durable metal. Big Skinny is proud to offer a 1 Year Warranty for parts & workmanship. We appreciate your loyalty. Love, BigSkinny
Pros
  • light!

Agree on outside pocket
December 3, 2018
The Panther Clutch is a wonderful wallet, and I agree with other posters that it remains beautifully thin no matter how full. I've had it in almost every color and I'm just about to order another for a friend who spied it and exclaimed "Is that your wallet? Wow!!!" Yes to the outside pocket idea...that would make this wallet perfection! I've used (and given as gifts) Big Skinny wallets, card cases, travel wallets, and the best designed small wallet ever: the Lynx (btw is that coming back in Blue?). All fill a special niche, hold up well, and are a pleasure to use. One concern I have: are you putting the raised logo on more items these days? That would be a problem for me, as I think its use makes the items look less elegant and streamlined. I understand wanting to have the logo visible, but something more subtle would be far more attractive and in keeping with the rest of your look. Thanks for great and innovative products!

Merchant Response:Hi Ann, Thank you for your feedback! The exterior pocket on the Panther Clutch is definitely on our radar! Wishing you a wonderful day, BigSkinny

Almost perfect
October 10, 2018
I think that the only thing missing from this wallet is an exterior change (roomy) pouchon one side and a pocket on the other side.that would make it perfect

Merchant Response:Dear Amanda, Thank you for your feedback! We will pass along to our in-house design team.
Pros
  • Zip around closure
  • Cash/receipt pockets
  • Numerous Credit card slots
  • Roomy inside
  • Interior zippered coin pocket
Cons
  • No Exterior zippered coin pocket
  • No Exterior receipt pocket

Six years later, still a great wallet
September 29, 2018
I bought a "cocktail red" Panther Clutch in 2012, and it is still in my purse today. It's well-organized and it holds a lot: folding money (which doesn't need to be folded), debit cards, membership cards, business cards, receipts, discount cards, library cards, insurance ID, photos, etc. There's room to keep my business and personal receipts separate, which is a huge timesaver. It also has a separate full-length zippered pocket inside that I use for coins. And it truly stays skinny, even with all that stuff. The red color is easy to find in my purses. I just ordered the smaller Lynx wallet for my smaller travel and "evening" purses and I'm sure I'll use it for years too.

Almost perfect!
September 22, 2018
Lightweight,slim, strap allows me to take just my wallet into stores.

Merchant Response:Hi Virginia, Thank you for your feedback! That is an excellent idea to have an exterior pocket. We will look into tweaking the design! Until then, some people that need even more storage, have taken to using one of our card case wallets (like the New Yorker style) and putting that into the Panther Clutch style. Let us know if this is option you would like to try out! Wishing you a wonderful day :), BigSkinny
Pros
  • See previous comments.
Cons
  • Would like more slots for credit cards, and maybe an outside pocket for parking tickets,receipts, etc.

Panther Clutch is perfect for me
August 7, 2018
I love my Panther Clutch because it holds everything that I need in one place and is still slim & organized. I used to have the myphone wallet which was perfect until I switched to the iPhone 8 which is larger so couldn't fit. My husband loves his tri-fold wallet too.

Very nice
July 30, 2018
Great wallet. They’re right that the this wallet is thinner when I load in the same things I had in my other wallet. I wish it came in better colors—like red, gray or tan—more neutrals.

Merchant Response:Hi LAE1227, Thank you for your feedback! We will have a Red color available very soon :) and maybe Charcoal in the future. Thank you for your review, BigSkinny

Really great
July 30, 2018
I like to use more minimal items for travel and I love that this is the same style and has the same features as my everyday bulky leather wallet, but it is half the size and weight! I may actually start using this for everyday instead of just travel. A suggestion to make it perfect would be an outside slip pocket. (I see others have suggested this too.) Last suggestion would be about the black one. I would love to have this wallet in black, but a black interior is a deal-breaker for me. (Same deal for pocketbooks too.). Could you make the interior of the black one tan or grey or something?

Merchant Response:Hi Laurie, Thank you for the suggestion! We had some two-tone wallets in the past -and we will certainly look into bringing them back :) Wishing you a wonderful day! BigSkinny
Pros
  • Thin.
  • Great interior layout.
  • Wrist strap!
Cons
  • Needs outside slip pocket (full length)

Lasts Forever
July 16, 2018
I have had my black panther clutch for I think at least eight years. It is just now starting to show a few signs of wear, but all the zippers and pockets inside still work perfectly. Great value! My favorite thing about it is it zips closed so I never have to worry about anything falling out.
Pros
  • Lasts forever
Cons
  • The wristlet attached to the zipper got lost pretty quickly
By Junior

Absolutely love this clutch. Perfect size. Fits everything I need.
July 12, 2018
Lightweight and just perfect. Fits my iPhone and anything else I need to carry One recommendation might be an outside slip pocket, or a zipper pocket.

Broken zipper......sad
April 15, 2018
I just love my Panther Clutch but DARN!! Just this week the zipper broke! I bought it at a pop-up "fair" with lots of different vendors at a school in my area. Will you replace it please?

Merchant Response:Hi Mattie, No worries! We'll get a replacement out to you ASAP! A member of our customer satisfaction team will be reaching out to you momentarily to confirm shipping details. Thank you! Have a wonderful day! BigSkinny
Pros
  • It's lightweight and has lots of storage options.
Cons

My black Panther Clutch is my favourite wallet!
April 10, 2018
I've owned my black Panther Clutch probably for over two years now. I carry everything I need in there: my money, my cheques, my loyalty cards, my credit cards, my measuring tape (don't ask, LOL), a pen, my iPhone 6S, my spare car key and more. I did adjust my Panther Clutch: I sewed on two hooks on opposite sides so I can put a thin strap on it to carry it like a little purse.
Pros
  • The lightest wallet I have ever owned
  • Holds absolutely everything that I want to carry with me
  • Room for my phone, spare key, pen and more
  • Large coin pocket with separate zipper
Cons
  • maybe that the zipper is starting to not work smoothly after 2 years of use?

Nice light weight purse wallet
March 21, 2018
Nice light weight wallet purse. Lots of places to store credit cards. The middle zippered change section was disappointing to me because its to shallow. I wanted a secured area to store cards or bills but it is to shallow to accommodate them. The big skinny wallet I bought a few years ago is better for that purpose. Needs a zippered pocket on the exterior. Overall I haven't used it much but stayed with the Big Skinny wallet I already have. Would like to have a longer strap to make it easier to carry. Love the material because its very durable and thin making it less bulky.

Merchant Response:Hi N G, Thank you for your feedback. Sounds like you may have gotten one that was sewn incorrectly? Because I carry the Panther model and am able to keep many business cards and credit cards in there just fine. At your earliest convenience, please contact our customer service team at service@bigskinny.com or 617.500.6939 and they'll be happy to facilitate an exchange for you. We are also looking into adding a shoulder strap for the Panther model. Thank you again for your review! Have a great day, BigSkinny
Pros
  • Light weight wallet purse.
  • Lots of places to store cards.
  • Durable material.
  • Nice color.
Cons
  • No exterior side pocket and zipper.
  • Middle zippered area to shallow to store cards or paper money but is ok for change.
  • Strap is to short.

Great wallet
March 6, 2018
I really like it. However we ordered this and a wallet for my husband. His arrived in a timely fashion mine did not. I called and they said it was in stock but for some reason it did not ship out. They didnâ€Ââ"¢t realize it hadnâ€Ââ"¢t shipped so if I had not called I would have been out a wallet and my money. The customer service rep could have been friendlier. I was a little disappointed with the customer service but I did receive my wallet in a few days after I had called.

Merchant Response:Hi Karen, Thank you for your feedback! We will follow-up with our warehouse & customer satisfaction teams to see how we can improve our care. Thank you again, BigSkinny

Love these wallets
February 23, 2018
This is my third big skinny panther clutch. The only reason I replace them is that the zipper pull breaks after awhile. You can fit so much in them, they just seem to expand to fit everything I shove in them and they zip to keep it all from falling out. My one suggestion is to add a detacahable cross body strap (I don’t use the clutch strap at all.) I think that would make them beyond perfect.

Merchant Response:Hi Heidi, We are excited to be coming out with an Expedition Crossbody Bag soon! In the meantime, we will have another zipper pull sent out to you! Wishing you a wonderful day, BigSkinny
Pros
  • Fits everything.
  • Lightweight.

Perfect wallet. My 2nd
November 20, 2017
I'm on my 2nd wallet!. I fell in love with my first one had it for 3yrs. My husband bought me a leather one when my Big Skinny zipper broke. Although greatful, I waited patiently before I said " I need to re-order a Big Skinny". So glad to have it back. My leather one was heavy, tight fitting and doesn't hold as much as my Big Skinny!! HAPPY and love it!!
Pros
  • Holds lots of cards. Is still thin and light even when you jam it up lime I do!

Best one they sell
October 22, 2017
Light, slim, plenty of credit card slots and slip pockets. Inside coin pocket zipper broke within 2 weeks; they sent me a new wallet, which was nice. Everything is zipped in and secure. A little too much material on "top." Could do without that extra 1/2" of wasted material. Will make it even sleeker. Of all the Big Skinny wallets I've purchased, this one is the best and is logically organized. I've gotten rid of my Trixie and Monte Cougar. Not what I expected.

Merchant Response:Hi Cyndy, Thank you for your feedback! A lot of customers like the extra material at the top because it allows them to fit their cellphone into the Panther as well. Hope this helps! BigSkinny
Pros
  • Slim. Light. Organized.
Cons
  • Cheap zipper. About 1/2" extra material on top. Threw away the wrist strap.

I managed to downsize my wallet with this Panther Clutch and fit everything and more - including my supersized iPhone and zip it up. :D pity electric purple wasn't available so I got the ocean blue but the colour doesn't match the picture displayed.
Pros
  • thin, light and roomy with wrist strap for added security
Cons
  • the colour on display does not really match the real thing. It looks more teal than ocean blue.

Ideal in every way except for Big Skinny zipper pull
March 24, 2017
I bought my first Panther Clutch in 2013 and used it everyday. I liked it so much I bought 2 more in different colors in 2016. The new clutches have a zipper pull that looks just like the Big Skinny logo. While the new zipper pull definitely brands the Panther Clutch as a Big Skinny product, it is not as durable as the regular traditional zipper pull on my 2013 clutch. After using one of the 2016 clutches as my everyday wallet (without the strap) for less than 9 months, the Big Skinny zipper pull fell off. The integrated ring that attaches to the zipper pull hook pulled apart then completely broke off. I expect that the same will eventually happen if I start using the other 2016 purchased clutch everyday. Big Skinny offered a replacement or a refund but the Panther Clutch is ideal for me in every way except for the Big Skinny logo zipper pull. I see that there are other reviews for zippered Big Skinny products (Lynx Wallet, Zippered Bifold, Leather Panther Clutch) that also report broken zipper pulls/zippers/strap and hardware. These reviews are dated 2015 or later leading me to believe that the Big Skinny logo zipper pulls were introduced in 2015. The Big Skinny logo zipper pull should be redesigned so the zipper pull attachment ring does not break off from the Big Skinny logo. The zipper pull on a zippered perimeter product needs to be able open and close the zipper and to be able stand up to being tugged back and forth around the corners many times a day. A zipper that is straight does not put as much stress and strain on the zipper pull. The Panther Clutch comes with a strap that normally attaches to the zipper pull but I found it can be attached directly to the zipper pull hook so I am now using the strap as a zipper pull. Not ideal since it is more bulky but it allows me to continue to use my Panther Clutch. My next step will be to make a more compact zipper pull from a short knotted loop - find a strong cord that is thick enough not to slip off the zipper pull hook, thread it through the hook then knot to make a short loop.

Merchant Response:Hi Christine, Thank you so much for your in-depth review!! Big Skinny wallets are covered by a 1Year Warranty for materials & workmanship so we'll send out replacements to you immediately!! Thank you for calling this to our attention. We have since fixed the zipper issue. Have a great weekend! Kind regards, Big Skinny
Pros
  • Lightweight, slim, durable, excellent interior organization, zippered perimeter so nothing falls out, spacious enough for my Samsung Galaxy

Purchased this to hold my coupons. Also holds my store gift cards and rewards cards. It is exactly what I had hoped for. It is larger than the checkbook wallet which is nice as all items fit nicely and i can close it completely. Nice and thin. Fits in my purse along with my other big skinny checkbook/wallet. Works perfectly!

The wallet is light, compact, holds a TON and is easy to use. I can't believe how long the zippers have lasted. Thank you for making such a high quality, affordable product!

The clutch is wonderful and I have purchased several for friends. My only complaint is the strap and hardware, it has broken on most of the clutches I have purchased. If ya guys could work on that, it would be perfect. I still love it without the strap but it would be nice to have it on the clutch.
