• I have carried this wallet for at least 3 years...actually, it's been more than CARRIED. It's been tossed, stuffed, dropped, dirtied (but successfully cleaned), stepped on, etc.
• It remains attractive, seams are still strong, but MOST of all: whatever I seem to ADD to it, it always snaps shut and does its job.
• And, I LOVE the purple color - I can always find it in my deep dark purse!
• Final note: I turned 70 years old this year and can easily say: this is the BEST wallet I've ever had! Bravo to Big Skinny
