BIG SKINNY WALLET REVIEW AND ~~~GIVEAWAY~~~

I was so excited to talk to Amy at Big Skinny Wallets. I had heard alot about the wallets, and how people loved how thin they were.

To be honest at first, I thought it had to be a joke. How can a wallet be that thin??

If you are like me, your wallet is thicker then a loaf of bread!!! I carry sooooo much in my wallet, from credit cards, pictures, store cards, to just plain weird personal stuff!! LOL

So when Amy sent my the Monte Cougar Wallet, I figured it would just be another pretty wallet that was huge like the others.

Boy was I wrong. I am in LOVE with the Monte Cougar.

I fit all my stuff from my big bulky wallet into it, and it is more then half the size of my original wallet.

I got the Smokey Teal color and it is very pretty. I will never use another wallet!!

The Cougar fits in my big purse with ease, but it also fits in my little special occasion purses, and fanny pack too!!

"What goes on in a woman’s wallet? Lists galore, tons of receipts, a Kanye West concert ticket, coupons to save $1 on soymilk, a frequent latte card---buyer and gift cards and so much more…This model is a recognizably classic design: a full-size, full-service design that can hold up to 60 plastic cards comfortably. Add checkbook, cash, coins, and the treasure trove of everything that is necessary, wanted, or perhaps even needed in the most obscure situations. In other words, and with grand understatement, this wallet can hold a lot of stuff and still stay skinny. Our special “divide & conquer” design breaks up your cards into 4 discrete areas so they don’t all stagger on one long row leaving huge lumps. Our designed breakup into 4 general areas means there will be very nice symmetry when your cards are in place and the wallet is shut so you’ll have more of an even, flattish plane rather than “staggered bulges” like all those other out-dated thick regular wallets. Easily thin enough to transfer from purse to purse, backpack to satchel, or it even can be carried just by its skinny sexy self because it is so light. Snaps securely shut, and features an extra long coin compartment on the outside for easy access. Sheer minimalist delight for those who want to carry everything in a trim, thin, tidy, modern-looking piece of joy to carry. Metal snap is created extra tight so it stays fit for a long time so unsnap gently and with support for the first month or so until it breaks in. $26.95


Features:
* 1 general billfold/checkbook area with full-length separator
* 1 general billfold/checkbook area * 8 extra-wide credit card pockets
* 2 extra-wide clear ID/credit card pockets

Big Skinny also sells Men's Wallets too. This is the one I am getting my Husband for Father's Day. The Tri fold Wallet. He goes through wallets once a year. I dont think I will have to buy him another one for along time!!!

"Yes we can, we can even make a trifold wallet extremely thin with our material. And you Tri-Fold wallet lovers know who you are and know what you want. No one is going to make you change wallet designs—you won’t part from your beloved double-fold-over that is thicker by design than other wallet out there yet is smaller too. Yet you persist and you wore us out but since our material is so thin,it doesn't matter--your tri-fold wallet will still be thinner than any other trifold wallet in the world. So here’s the Big Skinny tri-fold wallet which is 5-6 times thinner than your current leather, canvas, old-school nylon tri-fold wallet and also about 5-6 times as light for more comfort. And the rubber backing helps keep your cards and cash intact so you don’t even have to fold everything over to protect your “stuff” yet you will—why? Because you are tri-folder for life, you won’t change, and we won’t try to change you-- so here’s your thin tri-fold wallet that you just might love a lot…even with your 20-25 full-size plastic cards filling it out nicely in the extra-wide pockets and your large bundle of bills. Weighs less than an ounce. $24.95

Here is some more information about Big Skinny and their Wallets-

* Made from a durable, water-resistant nylon micro-fiber 5-7 times thinner and lighter than leather yet just as durable.
* "Thinner at the start" means "thinner at the end." Because Big Skinny wallets are so much thinner to start that even when you add all your stuff, your Big Skinny wallet will be much thinner.
* Thinner due to unique designs such as our Super Skinny wallet or sport wallet. Or our very unique leather nylon wallet hybrid series.
* Sturdy double-edged perimeter stitching guarantees durability and long life. (as long as leather wallets).
* Unique rubberized backing added to the reverse of the material makes it harder to lose your cards and cash.
* Extra-wide pockets each fit 3-5 plastic cards & are roomier for your fingers while rubberized backing adds safety.
* Wallet Guarantee & Warranty: Tough enough to machine wash. And a 1-year year warranty on materials and workmanship. How many other wallet companies are willing to warranty their wallets?
